TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - The influence of compliant chassis components on motorcycle dynamics: an historical overview and the potential future impact of carbon fibre JO - Vehicle system dynamics A1 - Lake, Kelvin A1 - Thomas, Richard A1 - Williams, Owen SP - 1043 EP - 1052 VL - 50 IS - 7 N2 - This paper details the influence of compliant chassis components on motorcycle dynamics. Initially, research which has previously been carried out in terms of motorcycle dynamics and in particular the impact of compliant chassis components on motorcycle dynamics is discussed. This paper then considers the consequences of these findings with regard to the use of modern materials such as carbon fibre reinforced plastics and the impact they will potentially have on motorcycle dynamics and its simulation.
