Abstract

Based on the multi-body system dynamics theory, a two-dimensional mathematical model for the motion of a rider-mountain bike coupled system was developed. It focuses on the simulation of vibration stress on the rider due to uneven track. To rectify this model, an experimental testing was designed. Compared the simulation results with measuring data, a precise mathematical rider-mountain bike model was obtained. For the intended purpose the predictions for vibration tress and vibration behavior are sufficiently precise, and the model turns out to be adequate for optimization of bicycle componentspsila parameters.
