%% Input %SUB3-4515 %P=T1*w1 %Power is produced by torque multiplied by rpm. P=.40 %hp of an average cyclist w1=60 %input rpm of an average cyclist F=420*.2248 %Change the force from newtons to pounds x by 0.2248. %According to NASA article, the angles chosen %were 15-19 degress(3)from the seat to the thigh %and an angle of 110 degrees, as the maximum chosen angle %at the knee was the %maximum angle chosen at the knee. %500 Newtons will be the maximum force througout the %pedaling cycle as shown on the graph from Nasa so the %design will be based on this critical value. %At these angles the maximum force is 500 newtons on the %pedal.USe this maximum force to analyze the stress on the %crank shaft in case the shaft for the pedal becomes %locked. %ritical situation when the propeller gets stuck in the %sand and you still push on the pedal, don't want the pedal %to snap. %% Pedal crankshaft length (ft) %P=T1*w1 %equation for power. T1=5252*(P/w1) %torque is in lb ft T1Nm=T1*1.35582 %T1=F*d %torque produced at the pedals d=T1/F %distance from center of rotation to the pedal is .4673 feet %with angular velocity at 40 rev/min and an applied torque %(T1)of 52.52 lb ft. %% Pedal Crankshaft length (m) F2=420 %Newtons d2=T1Nm/F2 %Distance from center of rotation to the pedal is .1130 m. %% Finding the bevel gear ratios, diametral pitch, torque and rpm %% first Bevel gear N2=45; %number of teeth PD2=5.31; %pitch dia in inches DP2=N2/PD2 %diametral pitch %% second bevel gear N1=15; %number of teeth PD1=1.77; %pitch diameter in inches DP1=N1/PD1 %diametral pitch %% Torque and rpm for the vertical shaft G1N=N2/N1 G1=PD2/PD1 %Gear ratio for first gear set w2=G1N*w1 %rpm for the vertical stainless steel shaft T2=(w1/w2)*T1 %Torque for the vertical stainless steel shaft.
