Mountain bike: Spring-Damper-System

11.05.2011

The scope of this project is the development of a mouintain bike system, based on intelligent spring and dumper particles. A computer simulation software (Simpack) is used in order to regulate obstacles for various driving maneuvers and hence to align occured acceleration and velocity changes with real performance data (Vicon Nexus 1.3.106). The determination of critical parameters like deflection or vertical acceleration should enable the implementation of a control loop, which should adjust the spring and damper characteristics to different road types.
