fork simulations of a motorcycle

[piespa]

Hello, everyone. I am designing in cad a fork to be used combined with a bimota steering scheme, therefore quite static but connected through small reinforcements to a shock absorber. I would like to make a simulation of the forces that act on it to understand whether actually the design is fine or needs to be adjusted but I cannot find the value in newton that is exercised on the fork itself. Does anyone know the formula to calculate newtons or can give me at least an approximate value?

Bye. I invite you to present yourself, clarifying what your skills, profession and possible degree of study are. allows you to better calibrate the answers.

Then it would be appropriate for you to place a scheme, a design, images taken from the internet, to avoid doing research.

It is clear that it is a means of transport, the load that hears the forks depends on the condition of operation.

at the university I worked with the project motostudent and typically for the sizing of the front we referred to the braking condition: It is necessary to assume that the bike is nailing with a certain deceleration and to make an estimate of the reactions that are generated in the wheel hub and that will be discharged on the forks.

for the calculation of all these forces I recommend the book “motorcycle dinamics” of cossalter. but it's university text... if you have an engineer training you're good.. otherwise it could be an ostic thread

I'm sorry, but that's the first question I'm asking and I had no idea how to structure it. In any case, I am a simple fan, I have not done any studies or professions in this regard, but I still know how to understand these topics. I'll take a look at the book then, thank you for your help.

Hi, from how you structured the question, it seems to me that you want to know the maximum tension that can be applied, I understand well?
If that's the question, you're missing basics. I recommend the book "structures, or why things don't fall down" by j. e. Gordon. among the various books I read, is what explains the resistance of materials in the most complete and intuitive way possible. there is also the Italian version, but it is a little difficult to find.
Then, you should rely on a machine construction book, I find very good shighley (mechanical engineering design), or atzori if you look for them in Italian.

I have done neither studies nor professions in this regard

Then I’m a little concerned that you want to design an avant-garde and above all make simulations.

why do not explain your work here on the forum: pictures, calculations, drawings... maybe we give you a hand

Before I left, I would inform you about the bureaucracy to validate the project because you are not able to sign it as without any studies.
you specify that it will have to be used in conjunction with another mechanical organ and this presupposes the putting into the street; it was also only for tests someone must respond in the unfortunate accident case.
are not matters of secondary importance

If you do not go on public soil, you can do what you want. .

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

if you do not go on public soil and do not involve third people possibly.
It is a wrong concept because the consequences fall on the community in an indirect way.

I think that one should find that subtle balance between his own passions and his own and others’ safety. between go karts, drones and various electronic systems, there is now a very dense community of improvised designers. personally it is a kind of commitment I appreciate, even if it is all uncertified and potentially dangerous stuff .. I would never feel like to wring someone who delights in the realization of this project

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

I do not discuss the passion and the project in itself until it remains on the card or later is taken into charge by a professional certificate.
if I change the brakes of the bike with my prototype and then crash against the house wall and pursues a permanent invalidity the money I receive, it was also 10€, pay them the inps that takes that money from the community.
