Composite Wood Optimization with OptiStruct, for Revolutionary Bicycle Design

Represented in the architecture of Zaha Hadid, Parametricism has changed the way we design, enabling to achieve curved and complex shapes. In order to realise those designs we often have to invent new materials and construction methods. In recent years composite technologies such as Carbon Fibre Concrete have reached the field of Architecture. We have focused our research over Wood Composites for architectural use. Wood has been basic construction material since ancient times. But it can also be advance composite material as it contains natural fibre structure. We use wooden sheets together with carbon layers to create Composite Wood Material. By optimizing the fibre direction of each layer of wood and carbon according to the force flow of the structure we can create stronger, more complex and otherwise impossible wooden structures, whilst using less wooden material. We test this technology over a bicycle design which we develop under the brand name AERO Bicycle.
