Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling an electronically adjustable steering damper in a two-wheeled vehicle or a motor vehicle and a device for implementing the method. Background technique
[0002] Research in the field of motorcycles is increasingly aimed at making vehicles that are more powerful and lighter, and thus have a high degree of natural instability that can be partially mitigated by adapting the steering damper to reduce the modes of vibration it is subjected to restricted.
[0003] Specifically, at low speeds, there are mainly three modes of vibration in a two-wheeled vehicle: the pitch of the vehicle, the hop of the tires, and the wobble mode. The tilt mode is caused by the rotation of the vehicle about a transversal axis through the center of gravity, which causes one suspension to be compressed and the other to be elongated; this mode of vibration usually occurs at low frequencies because of its dynamics ) is controlled b...
