Static and dynamic testing of a recumbent bicycle's suspension components, and design of a damping coefficient-spring constant test machine

Creator:

Metaxides, Evangelos

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to provide the necessary technical background and data for the development of a suspension system for a recumbent bicycle. For this reason, the customer requirements-design criteria for the development of the suspension system were set, and several static and dynamic tests were conducted on...

Takaro, Trevor M. F.

Abstract:

This thesis covers the use of a quarter car model to select damping rates for aFormula Student (FS) car, focusing on minimizing vertical tire force variation to improvegrip. A 2 degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model is cycled over the road frequenciesof interest and the results compared with the...
