Abstract:This paper describes the development of a fully deformable finite element model of an upright telescopic motorcycle front fork in LS-DYNA environment. The modelling for each of the key components, overall assemblage, and contact interactions involved were presented. Comprehensive validation was performed by comparing the reaction forces in a quasi-static test performed on a universal testing machine with customised fixture, which was specially designed to impose compressive and bending load simultaneously on t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
