Abstract :
This paper describes experimental results for a prototype mechanical steering compensator for motorcycles which was manufactured at Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED). The compensator realises a mechanical network consisting of inerters, dampers and a spring. The paper extends the previous work of Papageorgiou et al and presents frequency response testing results as well as model fitting and parameter estimation.
