摘要
The aim of the work was the development of a method for measuring and comparing the vibrational response of different racing rear wheels to the excitation caused by riding on irregular road surfaces. Four different rear wheels were selected for the study. Vertical accelerations at rear wheel axis and at the seatpost were measured during field tests performed while cruising on different road surfaces at different constant speeds. Frequency analysis of acceleration signals was performed using random signal analysis methods. The results show that the ranking between comfort properties of different wheels varies with the road surface roughness and the cruising speed considered.
