INTRODUCTION

The Bike Side stand unfolded ride lock link for two wheelers is the one of
the lifesaving mechanism which prevents the ride from riding the bike in
unreleased position (retracted position) of the side stand. This prevents the rider
as well the vehicle to lose the center of gravity by imbalance or surface
hindrances due to retracted position of side stand and there by saves life of the
rider. The side stand lock link is cheap, rugged and easier to install without
additional installations and fittings.

We may have witnessed motorcycle accidents because of the surface

hindrance of retracted positioned side stand. One of the most common problems
that are encountered in using the side stand is negligence or carelessness to kick
back the side stand. The negligence may be due to absence of mind, urgency,
divergence in concentration and few other reasons, which may prevent the rider
to kick back the side stand to its original position (released position). Failure to
kick back the side stand for any of the reasons stated above may hit the side
stand to surface of road and there by affect the stability of the vehicle and lead to
accident of the vehicle and riders involve in the accident, sometimes fatal. To
ensure safety of the rider, during absence of mind, negligence, urgency or
carelessness the side stand lock link helps in knowing the state of side stand
prior to movement of vehicle.

To avoid all those things there must be a reminder is needed. By

electrically we can fit alarm side stand. But it is required power source and also
some of safety system also to be provided. The fitting of the alarm also
complicated. So we want to simplify this and easy to access, that can do by
mechanical linkages.

 In this world we can see lot of bike accidents due to not seeing the road ways,
using cell phones, UN respect signals, over speed, unfold the side stand, not learn
driving, etc. After experiencing accident only we get alert. Some of visual examples
of accidents due to various reasons are shown below.

 Fig.1.1 Examples of bike accidents
These are only few samples of our lazy and uncared attitude of present
generation. Human soul has unrated value. We should keep it safe as a great gift
from god. Our careless attitude also affects other humans also

Around 1.24 million peoples are died per year in our world. In India we
can found more or less than 119860 peoples died and approximately 17humans
per found in 2011. It must be note by every human around the world that we
should alert at all times when we are in driving.

LITREATURE REVIEW

2.1 PREVIOUS EXISTING METHOD

A method is providing by M Tech student for avoid the side stand unfold
for Bajaj palatine 100cc, 2008 model. The detail about that project is shown
below. The side stand lock link relates to the field of automobiles industry,
especially for two-wheeler vehicles using side stand apart from the Main center
stand provided therein for the resting of the vehicle. The side stand lock link
makes the contact with the gear lever there by indicating the person handling the
vehicle about the unreleased side stand when the rider tries to apply the gear in
unreleased state of stand and prevents him from being endanger or to have unsafe
ride of motorcycle. The figure 1 shows the schematic representation of the link
designed for front gear motorcycle. The bike considered for design of link is
Bajaj Palatine 100cc, 2008 model. The link is fabricated with use of bending and
punching processes.

2.2 PRACTICAL INSTALLATION OF RIDER LOCK LINK

The figure 2, 3 and 4 shows the side stand lock link assembled with the
existing side stand of bike. Figure 3, we can see that the link restricts the
movement of the gear lever when the stand is in unreleased condition. The
figure 5 shows the drawing of the link with the dimensions in form of
nomenclature. It is required to vary the values of T, A, B, W, R, a, and as per
the model of the bike.

2.3 RESULT OF DESIGN-1

After fixing the linkage we test so many times as much as possible. From
the testing we find that there is repositioning occurs at the rigid joints and it is
failure at this stage. So we go for next concept that which may be a kinematic
linkage. The drawback we found that there is complication occurs during fix on
the stand. We need to weld it with the stand otherwise for bolting drilling holes
on the stand. It may change the properties of the stand and it weakens the stand.
So we had to go for an alternative design.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

In this device, the clamp is connected to the link that connect gear
shift to gear box. When the bike is put in the forward gear position, the lever
moves downwards and the clamped end of the retrieval system also moves
down. The other end of the retrieval system is placed near to the side stand.

When the bike is put in the gear position, the lever moves down and
the side stands push back. This mechanism is implemented to minimize risk of
not removing side stand while driving due to memory lapse or poor driving
skills. This extra attachment does not affect the riding of the bike when crossing
speed breakers. It can also be removed and reattached to any bike with forward
gear system.

 CHAPTER 4

DESIGN CALCULATION

First let us consider the side stand action.

Using Pythagoras theorem

d2 = h2 + h2

h = 19cm

h = 190mm

d = √ (2h2)

= √ (2*1902)

9
 d = 268.7mm

To find the angle Ѳ

CosѲ = h/d

= cos-1{190/26807}

Ѳ = 44.9

Hence, angle at which retrieval system acts on side stand is obtained.

The torque required to retrieve standard side stand in normal condition.

Stand weight = 400gm

Spring weight = 56gm

Combined weight of spring and stand = 400 + 56

= 456gm

= .456kg

Force due to stand weight,

F = mg sin Ѳ

= .456*9.81*sin(44.9)

F = 3.4267 N

So, torque due to stand weight

T = F*h

= 3.4267*0.10

T = 0.34267 Nm

Now, minimum torque required to push the side stand = 0.34267

10
We know that,

T = L*F*sin Ѳ

0.34267 = L*3.4267*sin(44.9)

L = (0.2485)/(3.4267*0.705)

L ≈ 10cm

Hence a 10cm long bar must act along 450 in counter clockwise direction. In order
to retract side stand. To achive this an L-shaped rod is designed of horizontal arm
length L = 10cm. Now this arm link is connected to the gear shift link

FABRICATION

6.1 PROCEDURE

The side-stand retrieval system works by pushing back the side stand. The
stand is pushed back when the bike is put into gear. This is achieved using the steps
given below.

1. The clamp of the device is connected to the link from gear shift pedal to
engine.
2. This ensures that the other end of the link is placed very near to the side
stand.
3. Now, when the bike is put in gear position, the rigid links of the system
cause the end of the link to move forward.
4. As it moves forward, it pushes the side-stand back to its retracted position.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

7.1 ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES OF LINKAGE

In general we can use stainless steels and gun metals because of those
which are non corrosive materials. Though we can use any other materials, the
wear of that material are shall low because we have sliding mechanism also.
The material for the linkage is chosen as per the following characteristics

a) Corrosion

b) Wear

c) Bending stress

d) Strength

7.1.1 CORROSION

Corrosion is the largest single cause of plant and equipment breakdown in

the process industries. For most applications it is possible to select materials of
construction that are completely resistant to attack by the process fluids, but the
cost of such an approach is often prohibitive. Corrosion mainly due to the
atmospheric condition such as moisture, air, water, chemical, etc.

In practice it is usual to select materials that corrode slowly at a known

rate and to make an allowance for this in specifying the material thickness.
However, a significant proportion of corrosion failures occur due to some form

16
of localized corrosion, which results in failure in a much shorter time than would
be expected from uniform wastage. Additionally, it is important to take into
account that external atmospheric corrosion leads to many instances of loss of
containment and tends to be a greater problem than internal corrosion. All these
aspects of corrosive behavior need to be addressed both at plant design time and
during the life of the plant. Corrosion leads to wear of material slowly that
should avoid in every material. To known about the corrosive nature of any
material the following codes are practiced in each material.

7.1.2 WEAR

In materials science, wear is erosion or sideways displacement of material

from its "derivative" and original position on a solid surface performed by the
action of another surface. Wear is related to interactions between surfaces and
more specifically the removal and deformation of material on a surface as a
result of mechanical action of the opposite surface. The need for relative motion
between two surfaces and initial mechanical contact between asperities is an
important distinction between mechanical wear compared to other processes
with similar outcomes.

The definition of wear may include loss of dimension from plastic

deformation if it is originated at the interface between two sliding surfaces.
However, plastic deformation such as yield stress is excluded from the wear
definition if it doesn't incorporates a relative sliding motion and contact against
another surface despite the possibility for material removal, because it then lacks
the relative sliding action of another surface. Impact wear is in reality a short
sliding motion where two solid bodies interact at an exceptional short time

17
interval. Previously due to the fast execution, the contact found in impact wear
was referred to as an impulse contact by the nomenclature.

Impulse can be described as a mathematical model of a synthesized

average on the energy transport between two travelling solids in opposite
converging contact. Cavitations wear is a form of wear where the erosive
medium or counter-body is a fluid. Corrosion may be included in wear
phenomenon, but the damage is amplified and performed by chemical reactions
rather than mechanical action.

Wear can also be defined as a process where interaction between two

surfaces or bounding faces of solids within the working environment results in
dimensional loss of one solid, with or without any actual decoupling and loss of
material. Aspects of the working environment which affect wear include loads
and features such as unidirectional sliding, reciprocating, rolling, and impact
loads, speed, temperature, but also different types of counter-bodies such as
solid, liquid organs. Wearing of material is an important factor that will cause
for frequent maintenance which is need not for this much of linkages. so that the
wear rate of that material should be negligible.

7.1.3 STRESSES

In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that expresses the

internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each
other. For example, when a solid vertical bar is supporting a weight, each
particle in the bar pulls on the particles immediately above and below it. When a
liquid is under pressure, each particle gets pushed inwards by all the surrounding
particles, and, in reaction, pushes them outwards. These macroscopic forces are

18
actually the average of a very large number of intermolecular forces and
collisions between the particles in those molecules.

Stress inside a body may arise by various mechanisms, such as reaction to

external forces applied to the bulk material (like gravity) or to its surface (like
contact external pressure, or friction). Any strain (deformation) of a solid
material generates an internal elastic stress, analogous to the reaction force of a
spring, that tends to restore the material to its original unreformed state. In
liquids and gases, only deformations that change the volume generate persistent
elastic stress. However, if the deformation is gradually changing with time, even
in fluids there will usually be some viscous stress, opposing that change. Elastic
and viscous stresses are usually combined under the name mechanical stress.
Significant stress may exist even when deformation is negligible or
nonexistent (a common assumption when modeling the flow of water). Stress may
exist in the absence of external forces; such built-in stress is important, for
example, in pressed concrete and tempered glass. Stress may also be imposed on a
material without the application of net forces, for example by temperature or
chemical composition or by external akin piezoelectric and magneto stricture
materials) .The relation between mechanical stress, deformation, and the rate of
change of deformation can be quite complicated, although a linear approximation
may be adequate in practice if the quantities are small enough. Stress that exceeds
certain strength limits of the material will result in permanent deformation (such as
plastic flow, fracture, and capitation).

7.1.4 STRENGTH

In materials science, the strength of a material is its ability to withstand

an applied load without failure. The field of strength of materials deals with forces
and deformations that result from their acting on a material. A load applied to a
mechanical member will induce internal forces within the member called stresses
19
when those forces are expressed on a unit basis. The stresses acting on the material
cause deformation of the material. Deformation of the material is called strain when
those deformations too are placed on a unit basis. The applied loads may be axial
(tensile or compressive), or shear. The stresses and strains that develop within a
mechanical member must be calculated in order to assess the load capacity of that
member. This requires a complete description of the geometry of the member, its
constraints, the loads applied to the member and the properties of the material of
which the member is composed.

With a complete description of the loading and the geometry of the member,
the state of stress and of state of strain at any point within the member can be
calculated. Once the state of stress and strain within the member is known, the
strength (load carrying capacity) of that member, its deformations (stiffness
qualities), and its stability (ability to maintain its original configuration) can be
calculated. The calculated stresses may then be compared to some measure of the
strength of the member such as its material yield or ultimate strength. The
calculated deflection of the member may be compared to deflection criteria that are
based on the member's use. The calculated buckling load of the member may be
compared to the applied load. The calculated stiffness and mass distribution of the
member may be used to calculate the member's dynamic response and then
compared to the acoustic environment in which it will be used.

Material strength refers to the point on the engineering stress-strain curve

(yield stress) beyond which the material experiences deformations that will not be
completely reversed upon removal of the loading and as a result the member will
have a permanent deflection. The ultimate strength refers to the point on the
engineering stress-strain curve corresponding to the stress that produces fracture.

 CHAPTER 10

10.1 CONCLUSION

Presently many commercial two wheelers come with inbuilt side

stand locking systems with indicator and alarm systems, but they are expensive
and difficult to install in the bikes. The developed side stand lock link can be fit
to any motorcycle with slight dimensional changes in the link. It is simple in
design, easy to fabricate and is in low cost.

Thus we conclude that a 100 Rs material will save the human life and
we won’t have any other problem after fixing it. The flexibility in fixing the
link is also an advantage to us. In the present fresh world everyone have lot of
works and twenty four hours per day is not enough for us. So every person in the
world runs to win in their life and they want to reduce further mental stresses.
To reduce the care of unsafe driving we made this project. We hope that our
project will reduce the bike accidents due to unfolded side stand driving.

10.2 FUTURE SCOPE

 The side stand retrieval system can be electrically controlled via bike ignition.
 Movement of the link can be hydraulically or pneumatically operated.
 Length and angle of the lower link arm can be adjusted to suite the various
types of motorcycles.
