    Impact force calculation of a Full Suspension Mountain Bike

    Hello Folks! I want to find the maximum applicable force on a full suspension mountain bike and i will use this force on a FEA software structural analysis for a uni design project. This bike has a rear suspension with 400 lbs/in spring rate.Also rear wheel vertical displacement(travel amount)...

    Synthesis of a four bar linkage with a ternary couplar

    Hi there! Currently i am trying to design a four bar linkage for a bicycle rear shock. You can find this linkage at here http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/211_fall2010.web.dir/Michael_Stanfill/VirtualPivot.html This linkage is called virtual pivot point. Critical part of this design is to achieve a...

    Missing technique used to find acceleration of a 4-bar mechanism?

    First circle centered at midpoint of link Second circle is centered at the rotating tip of link. (Assume link is grounded at one point.And second point is rotating at a constant angular velocity-it is a 4-bar mechanism) I will upload a picture of it.

    Missing technique used to find acceleration of a 4-bar mechanism?

    Hi there! There is a technique that is being used by my lecturer for mechanisms course at uni and i could not understand how this technique is manipulated.I wish i would know this methods name but no chance!. This technique is being used to find normal acceleration of link in 4-bar...
