Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 機械工程學研究所 === 97 === The purpose of this study is to investigate maneuvering characteristics for motorcycles in the Steady state cornering. Firstly, the model of Steady state cornering for motorcycles has been developed in this study. The cornering parameters, the steering characteristics, and the steering torque exerted by the rider are analyzed numerically, and the preferable driving behaviors for motorcycles can be discussed. The driving characteristics of different motorcycle models are analyzed, including electric motorcycles and hybrid motorcycles. Finally, the effects of the rider posture and the inclination of road surface on the Steady state behavior are discussed. The Steady state cornering characteristic graphs are presented, and need to integrate driving behaviors and characteristics, in which the Steady state cornering characteristic can be expressed apparently. The results of this analysis could be useful understanding the major effects of the design parameters and helpful for further motorcycle design.
