Study of windblast interface element with Postura MotergoTM test rig / Shahrool Azree Azlan

Global motorcycle road accident statistics has shown increment in the past decade. As part of the actions taken in minimizing this issue, motorcycle simulators were developed in order to conduct studies on motorcycling. An example of such simulators is the revolutionary motorcycle test rig named Pos...
