碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 車輛工程系所 === 94 === In Taiwan, the motorcycle for disabled is often refashioned by adding two auxiliary wheels. These extra wheels cause the motorcycle for the disabled rollover more easily than the motorcycle during a turn. The rollover improvement of the motorcycle for disabled is discussed in this thesis. Firstly, this study uses homogenous transformation matrix to establish the mathematical models of different rear suspension like pure trailing arm, semi-trailing arm or swing axles. The rollover characteristics is analyzed by change the top view angle of semi-trailing arm twist axis and the rear view angle of semi-trailing arm twist axis. The variety of roll center migration and wheel-alignment caused by wheel jumping and chassis rollover would be deduced and contrasted through ADAMS software. Finally the results are discussed and applied to the motorcycle for disabled to reduce rollover in cornering.
