Computational simulation of frontal impact of motorcycle telescopic fork

This paper presents modelling aspects of a high fidelity finite element model of a motorcycle telescopic fork. For validation purpose, a series of impact tests of which a frontal impact load imposed on the individual fork by a rigid striker was conducted using factorial experiment approach. The mode...
