Abstract

One of the aims of the paper is to develop a mathematical model of a motorcycle using Lagrange equations; the model is verified thanks to ADAMS. Results of multibody simulations are used as inputs for boundary conditions of frame FEM simulation and following topology optimization which results in modifications of the frame design.
