Abstract: The main objectives of the work described are to devise an effective path-based motorcycle simulation capability and to add to understanding of how riders control motorcycles. Optimal linear ...

Abstract: The boundary integral method for solving transient heat flow problems is extended to calculate thermally induced stresses and displacements. These results are then corrected by means of an ...

Abstract: for Stability and Control Analysis” (R. S. Sharp and D. J. N. Limebeer, 2001, Multibody Syst. Dyn., Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 123–142). We make use of root-locus and frequency response plots that were derived from a linearized...

Abstract: This paper introduces the idea of using mechanical steering compensators to improve the dynamic behavior of high-performance motorcycles. These compensators are seen as possible replacements for ...
