Hi Thanks.. I need to make sure the motorcycle frame I am designing does not resonate due to the vibration of the engine. I'll be using ANSYS as an FEA tool and they do have a dynamic loading feature. Now what i need to know is how do you measure the engines load on the frame whch will...

Resonance and natural frequency Can anybody please explain how these two are linked. Does anybody know how to determine the frequency of a typical motorcycle engine. That frequency that's not supposed to coincide with the natural frequency of the motorcycle frame that will cause resonance...

Hi How do you calculate the natural frequency and vibrational response of a space frame and what is its damping characteristic? What are all the aspects to take into considerations and how do you analyse failure due to vibration? Thanx
