The Vibration Analyses of Motorcycle Exhaust System and Suspension-Point Improvement

Abstract:

For the relatively strong vibration caused by a three-wheeled motorcycle exhaust system and raised the level of the noise in the whole motorcycle, this paper combines the experimental modal analysis method and finite element analysis (FEA) method, establishes finite model of the exhaust system, finishes the experimental modal analysis and transient response analysis based on Hyperworks software and laboratory equipment, and obtains six natural frequencies and mode shapes. Comparison has been made between acceleration RMS changes before and after the mounting points changed with the transient excitations. At the end, the document also verifies better results after the improvement and found the basement of reducing noise in the next step.
