Considering the specific case of the multibody modelling of a racing motorbike, where the rigid model of the rear swingarm has been replaced with a flexible one, a general approach to flexible multibody systems modelling in Modelica is presented in this paper. In particular, the steps required to generate the model of a flexible body starting from a FEM analysis, performed with commercial packages, are detailed. Simulations results are shown with reference to a sudden braking and to a series of impacts with curbs. In this last case, an unstable behaviour occurred when considering the flexible component, which is currently under investigation.

Abstract
Considering the specific case of the multibody modelling of a racing motorbike, where the rigid model of the rear swingarm has been replaced with a flexible one, a general approach to flexible multibody systems modelling in Modelica is presented in this paper. In particular, the steps required to generate the model of a flexible body starting from a FEM analysis, performed with commercial packages, are detailed. Simulations results are shown with reference to a sudden braking and to a series of impacts with curbs. In this last case, an unstable behaviour occurred when considering the flexible component, which is currently under investigation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
