| Popis: | This article presents a study on the frontal impact properties of the motorcycle front wheel—tyre assembly using squared change of velocity and dissipated impact energy as response variables. The laboratory-scaled impact tests were performed on the wheel—tyre assemblies using pendulum impact test apparatus according to a 25−1 V fractional factorial design with four replicates. Five parameters that are included in the experiment were impact speed (S), impact mass (M), tyre inflation pressure level (P), contact geometry of striker (G) and offset distance of impact location from axle (D). The test specimen used in the study was a spoked wheel of size 1.40 × 17. Minitab has been employed to support the entire experimental process. The collected experimental data were organized, and factorial analysis was performed. The significant factors influencing the impact responses of the wheel—tyre assembly were identified, which are S, M, P, D, SM and SD. The associated empirical models were then established ... |
