Effects of interconnected suspension systems on the dynamics of sport motorcycles.

Abstract
The effects of interconnected front and rear suspension systems on the in-plane dynamics of sport motorcycle is investigated. The interconnected suspension mathematical description is presented and included in a high-fidelity motorcycle model. The suspension behaviour under road step bump inputs is studied for different values of stiffness and damping interconnection coefficients. Optimal values of interconnection coefficients are proposed for the current motorcycle model. Finally, the oscillating dynanlics of the motorcycle at straight rurrning conditions is studied through its normal modes.
