Burst oscillations occurring at high speed and under firm acceleration are suppressed with a mechanical steering compensator. Burst instabilities in the subject racing motorcycle are the result of interactions between the wobble and weave modes under high-speed cornering and firm-acceleration conditions. Under accelerating conditions the wobble-mode frequency decreases, while the weave mode frequency increases so that destabilizing interactions occur. The design analysis is based on a time-separation principle, which assumes that bursting occurs on time scales over which speed variations can be neglected. Therefore, under braking and acceleration conditions linear time-invariant models corresponding to constant-speed operation can be utilized in the design process. The inertial influences of braking and acceleration are modelled using d'Alembert-type forces that are applied at the mass centres of each of the model's constituent bodies. The resulting steering compensator is a simple mechanical network that comprises a conventional steering damper in series with a linear spring. This network is a mechanical lag compensator. |
