  • Design and Experimental Validation of a Carbon Fibre Swingarm Test Rig
    DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF A CARBON FIBRE SWINGARM TEST RIG Reno Kocheappen Chacko A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, of the University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering March 2013 Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is being submitted to the Degree of Master of Science to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination to any other University. …………………………………………………………………………… (Signature of Candidate) ……….. day of …………….., …………… i Abstract The swingarm of a motorcycle is an important component of its suspension. In order to test the durability of swingarms, a dedicated test rig was designed and realized. The test rig was designed to load the swingarm in the same way the swingarm is loaded on the test track. The research report structure is as follows: relevant literature related to automotive component testing, current swingarm test rig models and composite swingarms were outlined. The Leyni bench, a rig specifically developed by Ducati to test swingarm reliability was shown to be effective but lacked the ability to apply variable loads. The objective of this research was to design and experimentally validate a swingarm test rig to evaluate swingarm performance at different loads. The methodology, the components of the test rig and the instrumentation required to achieve the objectives of the research were presented. The elastic modulus of the carbon fibre swingarm material was calculated using classical laminate theory. The strains and stresses within a swingarm during testing were analysed.

It is often a tradeoff especially under extreme riding conditions. Cosalter’s approach between handling and comfort in most cases. As a result, was considered during the development phase. Secondary aim is swingarm stiffness should be meticulously chosen so as to to reduce the overall weight of the swingarm, without sacrificing much on the performance parameters. provide the fine line between handling and comfort. Analysis was done on the existing design’s CAD model. After Generally, a swingarm with a higher stiffness value handles a series of iterative geometric modifications and subsequent well but suffers in ride comfort and vice versa. analysis, two designs (SA2 and SA3) were kept under Another important factor to be considered during design is consideration.

  • Fit and Adjust a Sidecar on Your Motorcycle; Three-Wheeling
    How to Fit and Adjust a Sidecar on your Motorcycle; Three-wheeling. D. A. Hobbs About the author Daryl Hobbs has been a qualified motorcycle mechanic for over twenty years. During that time he has patched, tuned, fixed, repaired, reconditioned and restored over 70 makes of motorcycle – of course this number has been assisted by owning over 20 makes. Occasionally he would buy one just because he hadn’t worked on that make or model. As a mechanic, accurate and useful information has always been important and the one area that doesn’t seem to have been catered for that well is information on fitting and adjusting sidecars. The authors baptism into the world of sidecars was attaching a second had box to a Russian made Ural. Aware that he would have to readjust just about everything; the adjustments were left a little loose on ride number one. Unfortunately the first left hand corner was in front of a pub with the usual company assembled on the front verandah. The sidecar, realising there were spectators, took a bow (toward the ground) that veered the outfit into the weeds on the wrong side of the road. If you own an outfit, tighten everything. The second outfit was a safer bet having been securely attached for over 30 years, it was a BSA M21 road painters outfit and very good indeed. The sidecar frame had comparable springing to the bike (not much), a comparable third motorcycle wheel that provides a good rolling and steering ability; you just had to leave a little earlier than everyone else to get places.

  • Motorcycle Control-Oriented Dynamics Modeling for Accelerated Maneuvers on Slippy Terrains
    MATEC Web of Conferences 148, 03004 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201814803004 ICoEV 2017 Motorcycle control-oriented dynamics modeling for accelerated maneuvers on slippy terrains Elżbieta Jarzębowska1*, Michał Cieśluk1 1Warsaw University of Technology, Power and Aeronautical Engineering Dept., 00-665 Warsaw, Nowowiejska 24 st., Poland Abstract. The paper presents a motorcycle dynamics model developed for testing and future model based controller designs for accelerated maneuvers on variable slip terrains. The dynamics is simplified, yet it captures real motorcycle behaviors when it accelerates and decelerates on a curvy trajectory and contact forces due to variable ground properties change and allow to generate slip. The tire - terrain model is based upon a simplified Pacejka model. The paper objective is not to obtain complex dynamical systems of equations like those required for high-fidelity simulations. Instead, the aim is to derive simple but reliable and manageable models that enable designing and implementing, and verifying control laws, as well as maintaining their capability to capture the main behaviors of real systems. The paper applies the adopted assumptions to develop the motorcycle model, and presents simulation tests for the motorcycle acceleration and deceleration during turn maneuvers, and during changes of the ground the vehicle moves on. 1 Introduction i.e. introduce nonholonomic constraints into the model. Formally, the nonholonomic constraint limits Motorcycling is a popular means of transportation in maneuverability of the vehicle model.
