Development of a Motorcycle Chassis Geometry and Suspension Analysis Application Using MATLAB APP

This dissertation focused on the development of an advanced motorcycle chassis geometry and suspension analysis application using MATLAB. The project was designed to model and analyse key motorcycle dynamics parameters including rake, trail, wheelbase, swingarm angle, suspension motion ratios, and anti-squat characteristics. The application incorporated graphical visualisation, real-time geometry adjustment, and engineering calculations to simulate the effects of setup changes on motorcycle handling performance. Additional features included suspension force analysis, fuel strategy calculations, and data export functionality for motorsport engineering applications. The project combined CAD principles, vehicle dynamics theory, mathematical modelling, and software development to create a practical engineering tool aimed at supporting race engineering and motorcycle setup optimisation.
