Abstract

The main objective of this research is to establish a new formulation and mathematical model based on graph theory to create dynamic equations and provide clarity on the fundamental formulation. We have employed graph theory as a new approach to develop a new representation and formulate the vertical dynamics of a motorcycle with four degrees of freedom, including a suspension and tire model. We have outlined the principal procedural steps required to generate the mathematical and dynamic equations. This systematic approach ensures clarity and precision in our formulation process and representation. Subsequently, we implemented the dynamics equations to examine the dynamic behavior of both the sprung and unsprung masses’ vertical displacements, while considering the varying conditions of the road profile.
