Rider plays an important role in two wheeler dynamics. To capture the effects of rider on a vehicle, it is important
to have a good human body multi-body dynamics model.
Rear Suspension systems support the rear wheel with the help of a swingarm and coil
springs.
There are two types of rear suspensions in the Two-Wheeler
library.
Twin Shock
As the name suggests, it refers to two shock absorbers at the rear end of a
motorcycle. This arrangement allows for a higher spring deflection, as the spring
pick-up at the bottom is closer to the wheel center.
Mono Shock
In this setup, a single shock absorber is connected from the swingarm to the
motorcycle’s frame. Monoshocks eliminate torque from the swingarm more efficiently,
offer better handling and stability, and are easier to adjust than twin shock
absorbers as only one unit is used.
