ME 115 Dynamics of Machinery: Group Mel Ayala My Le

The document discusses a student project to simulate the forces on a cyclist during a head-on collision using modeling software. The project aims to determine the accelerations and torques experienced by the cyclist's body during sudden impact. Statistics are provided on cycling injuries and deaths each year, showing most fatal head injuries occur for non-helmeted cyclists.

OUR PROJECT
• TO DETERMINE FORCES ON A BODY
UNDERGOING DYNAMIC FORCES OF A
SUDDEN IMPACT.
• WE WILL OBSERVE WHAT WILL
HAPPEN WHEN THE CYCLIST IS
UNDERGONE SUDDEN IMPACT.
OBJECTIVE
• USING WORKING MODEL 2D WE WILL
SIMULATE AND OBSERVE WHAT WILL
HAPPEN TO THE CYCLIST WHEN
SUDDEN IMPACT OCCURS DURRING A
HEAD ON COLLISION
SUMMARY
• WHEN A CYCLIST IS TRAVELING AT
HIGH SPEEDS, THE KINETIC ENERGY
AND MOMENTUM ARE EXTREAMLY
HIGH AND IF SUDDEN IMPACT
OCCURS THESE FORCES CAN CAUSE
GREAT DAMAGE.
STATISTICS
Each Year:
Approximately 750 persons are injured.
Approximately 30 persons die.
Approximately 82% of persons killed are not wearing
helmets.
Approximately 70% of non-helmeted persons die from
head injuries,
compared to 36% for helmeted persons.
PICTURES OF INJURIES
RESULTS

• ACCORDING TO WORKING MODEL


ANALYSIS HIGH ACCELERATIONS
WERE INDURED ON THE HEAD AND
BODY OF THE CYLIST AS SHOWN
ON OUR GRAPH. ALSO THE TORQUE
WAS DETERMINED VIA WORKING
MODEL.
