Modelling behaviour for magneto rheological motorcycle suspension system

Abstract

This paper discusses the performance of Magneto-rheological (MR) for motorcycle suspension. Previous studies on the application of the MR fluids may improve the performance and decrease the vibration in systems such as building structure and automobile. The promising future of the application of MR has become the motivation for the present work. Hence, the MR motorcycle suspension system is designed to bring safety and comfort to both rider and passenger. The designed system is also contributed to the improvement of the handling ability to the vehicle. The effectiveness between the MR motorcycle suspension and the conventional passive system is demonstrated by computer simulation. The result showed that MR suspension system could eliminate external disturbance which obtain much better ride quality and handling performance to the motorcycle.
