Abstract

The aim of this study is to make the kinematic analysis and to design a historical mechanism for the bicycle, without chain, only with links. The relationships between the angular stroke of the pedal rockers and the geometric parameters of the mechanism are established in order to achieve the synthesis and optimization of the mechanism. The geometric model was made with the Autodesk Inventor program and the kinematic analysis with the Altair Inspire program. The engine was placed in the crank-base joint, considering the intention to use the mechanism for medical purposes in the future.
