This study focuses on the influence of tractive forces on the self-stability of a bicycle. The eigen-value analysis of the self-stability of a passive rider control linear bicycle model can be used to analyze the self-stability. A linear bicycle model with front and rear driving forces is developed. The influence of tractive forces on the self-stability is identified by using the developed model. A nonlinear multi-body bicycle model is used to confirm the results of the linear analysis.

One commercial package for magnetic analysis was used to apply repulsive forces of permanent magnetics to bicycle cushion system. Reliabilities of finite element analysis were acquired by comparing with those of experimental measurements. Equivalent spring stiffnesses corresponding to various sizes of magnetics were implemented into the bicycle dynamic model with three degree of freedom. Input force caused at front and rear wheels due to road unevenness was considered in the dynamic model. Dynamic behaviors were observed in terms of vertical displacements of the rider and the front reach as well as pitching displacement of the mass center when the bicycle ran over half-triangular bump. The methodology suggested in this paper by the finite element analysis and numerical model will be an useful tool for more accurate prediction of cushion design for any vehicle system if magnetic forces are utilized.

최근 친환경 생활이 강조되는 오늘날, 자전거(bicycle) 이용자 수가 급격히 늘어나고 있다. 때문에 2륜 자전거의 무인화 및 다양한 기구학적 재해석과 구조학적 재해석을 시도하고 있으며 공학적으로 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 복잡한 2륜 자전거의 복잡한 동역학 방정식을 분석한 결과 인버터 팬들럼 모델과 유사한 점을 수학적 전개를 통하여 알 수 있었다. 이렇게 근사화된 방정식 모델을 바탕으로 비선형 제어 알고리즘을 통하여 비선형 제어기를 설계하여 2륜 자전거의 주행 안정성에 대한 진행속도와 조향각(steering angle) 제어에 대한 상관관계에 대한 연구를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 결과를 분석하고자 한다. 이러한 분석을 통한 2륜 자전거의 자세제어를 통하여 기타 로봇의 자세제어 및 다양한 시스템에 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
