Optimization of motorcycle pitch with non linear control

Abstract

Motor cycles are the common mode of transport of the middle class India. When the rider driving on the bumping road circumstances rider has to face problems results in exposure to whole body vibration. Motorcycle pitch is produced due to a sudden acceleration/sudden deceleration or whenever the vehicle hits the pot hole/bump. The goal of this research was to design of motorcycle suspension system and optimize the pitch using nonlinear controller, modeling and simulation is carried out using MATLAB and the results are compared with existing work. To give the prominent to improve the ride eminence and increase in comfort due to substantially reduced the amplitude of disturbances by presenting nonlinear controllers to decrease the effect of travelling over rough ground.
