Mountain bike suspension mechanism dynamic simulation

The article is devoted to the topic of analysing main exploitation properties of mountain bike suspension from the point of creating 3D dynamic exploitation simulation. For the purposes of the research, a special dynamic simulation was created using SOLIDWORKS software and SOLIDWORKS Motion tool. Two types of bike suspension were tested on the dynamic analysis stand measuring sprang and unsprang mass hesitation parameters, which are demanded in suspension specification. The obtained specific simulation results in the form of graphs and data tables may become an incentive for continuous developments and analyses in the area of constructing.
