碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 機械工程學系研究所 === 89 === With the prevalence of leisure sport, riding mountain bikes becomes an enormous vogue today. The mountain bikes undoubtedly have become one of the most popular products in the leisure sport market. Based on its superior standard of operating quality and the demand of comfortableness, the requirement of the outstanding rear suspension mechanism of mountain bikes is one of the crucial components in the design procedure. The purpose of this work is to provide a design procedure of the system of rear suspension mechanisms of mountain bikes by using the concept of engineering design method. First, to investigate the essential requirements of the system of rear suspension mechanisms of mountain bikes is started. Then the design targets of this research are decided further in order to establish the requirement book for the system of rear suspension mechanisms of mountain bikes. Second, the kinematic design of rear suspension mechanisms is proceeding. Computer Aided Tried and Error program is utilized for synthesizing the dimensions of rear suspension mechanisms to meet the requirement of functions. Finally, topology theory is applied to synthesize the frames of mountain bikes. Furthermore, the systematic design procedure is developed to perform the embodiment design of the system of rear suspension mechanisms of mountain bikes.
