Computer-aided methods have the potential to facilitate the conceptualization and design of various items, including machinery, road vehicles, airplanes, rail vehicles, and robotics. Simulation models can serve as a partial alternative to time-consuming, costly, and hazardous research. In contemporary times, the numerical method has emerged as the favored approach for addressing linear and nonlinear structural mechanics and dynamics problems. At Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, there exist a motorbike test bench. The objective is to develop a simulation model that produces outcomes that closely align with those obtained from a test bench. Hence, the need for conducting tests on the test bench can be avoided. The primary topic of this thesis centers on the rear support structure of the test bench, which is related to the positioning of the rear wheel. The rear support geometry has been optimized and constrained in the finite element analysis. Simulations have been conducted using both elastic and rigid bodies in the MKS methods, and the behavior of the rear support is determined through static tests.}, language = {en} }
