ThisreportpresentstheactivitiesdevelopedbytheacademicThiagoSchimmelpfennigduring
his period of practical training at BMWs Research and Innovation Center inMunich,Germany. Theinternship takes place in theMotorcyclesDevelopmentDepartment, in the division of Body VehicleEngineeringUXEK1.
In summary, the second twomonthsof the internship involved theworkwithprojectanddevelopment of Motorcycles Seats. The activities included studies of ergonomics, tests andmeasurement of components, brainstorming of new solutions and 3Dmodeling of components andsurfaceswiththesoftwareCATIAV5.
Forabetterunderstandingoftheinternshipactivities,thisreportisdividedintothreemainsections.Thefirstsectionwillprovideabackgroundabouttheimportanttopicsfortheconstructionofseatstructures.Thesecondsectionisadetailedstudyofseatsofdifferentmotorcycles.Abriefsectionattheenddisclosesabouttheelaborationofanewconceptforamotorcycleseat.

As previously discussed in the last report, the motorcycle project is connected to threeimportantpointstogetherdescribedastheTriangleofErgonomics(Picture1).Anextrapointwasaddedtothestructure,accordingtothestandardSAEJ826,theHPoint.TheHPointcanbedescribedasthepoint inthemiddlesectionofthedriverwhereoccursthemovementbetweenthetorsoandthe legs.This point is constantly used for the project of vehicles and plays an important role inmotorcyclesdevelopment,whilecanbealsoconsideredthegravitycenterofthedriver.

The HPoint is located in different positions (x,z) for each person when seated in a
motorcycle, according to its dimensions. When seated in a comfortable position in the motorcycle,differentdrivershaveadifferentposition for theirHPoint.Amapof thosepositions is shown in thePicture2,whereispossibletoseethatsmallindividualswithsmalllegsnormallyseatmoreinthefrontofthebikeandmoreclosetotheground.Ontheotherhand,higherindividualswithlonglegsprefertoseat in an up position, further from the handling bar.

5.2.2. Theseatingposition
Duetothedifferentproportionsofthehumanbodyandtoitsstructureintheseatingregion,a long timeor travel in the same seatingpositioncanconduct to themuscular fatigue in the seatingarea. This way, the drivers always look for alternative positions in order to relax the musculature.Therefore,therearetwodifferentpositions inwhichthedrivercanstay,asshown inPicture4.Thosepositions change the angle of the pelvic and the curvature of the column, giving different pressuredistributionsforeachcase.
The possibility of changing the seating position in a motorcycle can be achieved by twodifferentstrategies,whichcanbealsocombined:

Asexplained intheprevioussection,havinga longerseatsurface isagoodwaytopromote
differentdriverpositions and thereforemore comfortable seats. The shapeof the surface,however,requiressomespecificconstruction techniques thatallowabetterpressuredistribution rather thanaflatsurface.
As a consequence of the different driving positions the seat can be divided in twomainregions,asshowninthePicture5.TheregioninthebackoftheseatPicture5(b)canbelongerandisgoingtobeusedmainlyfortallerindividualsorthosewhoprefertoseatatthebackofthebike,havingadrivingpositionsimilartothePicture4(b).ThefrontoftheseatistheregionwhichsupportsthelegsofthedriverPicture5(a).Inthisregiontheseatmusthaveacurvaturewhichfollowstheopenlegsofthedriver,pushinghimmore incontactwiththefrontofthebike inapositionwhich isstraighter,suchasdescribedinPicture4(a).

In the construction of a new motorcycle, some components are previously developed in
ordertobeusedasareferenceintheproductionofthesecondaryparts.Thefirst inputfortheprojectteamcomesfromthedesigndepartment,wheretheconcept
prototypeisfullythreedimensionallyscannedanditssurfacesareplacedinfilesonthedatabaseofthesoftwareCATIAV5.Thosesurfacesarebasicallyfromtheexteriorofthebikeanditdefinesthelimitsforthesizeandgeometryoftheinternalcomponents.
Inastepfurther,theengineeringteamoftheframestartswiththedevelopmentofthemainstructureof thebike,whichwill supportall the secondary components.Several frame configurations(tubular frame,castframe)canbeadopted forthebikeandthis is fundamentallythemost importantcomponentofthemotorcycle,aslongasitneedstobecompletelysimulatedandadaptedfordifferentmotorcycles.
After thedevelopmentof the firstconceptof the frame, the responsibleengineers for theother components can start itsmodeling on CAD, such as the seats. For eachmotorcycle there is adifferentframeanddesign,makingthedevelopmentofeveryseatalwayssingular.Themissionoftheseatsproject team is to reach thecomfort targets trying tonotchangenor the frameor theexteriordesign of the motorcycle. In many cases this task is not tangible, given the small geometry of thecomponents or their proximity. When the motorcycle comes with height adjustment or positionadjustment, it becomes very complicated to have a smooth and continuous design and also thefunctionalityofthecomponents.Inthiscasetheprojectleadersneedtochoosethebestwayaccordingtotheneedsofthecostumers.7.2. Stepsfortheseatdevelopment
Thestartingpoint in thedevelopmentof theseat is theanalysisof thespacebetween the
seat surface (which has a height target) and the frame of the bike. If this space is too reduced, itbecomesimpossibletoprojectasupportstructurethatmustbebetweentheframeandthesurface.Inaddition,thethicknessofthefoamintheseatingregioncannotbesmallerasastandardvalue,inordertoaccomplishthebasiccomforttargets.
Secondly, it is importanttocheckthedimensionsofthedesignedseatsurface,asshown inthe Picture 15. Those dimensions play an important role in the comfort of the seat and must befollowed.
Athirdstep inthedevelopment isthedefinitionoftheheightadjustmentdirection.This isstrategicfortheconceptoftheseatsupports,to itsattachmenttotheframeandtothedesign.Inthetouringbikesthisinclinationusestostayaround45degrees.Forendurebikeshoweverthisnumbercanbeincreasedupto90degrees.

Basedon thepresentedconcepts for thedevelopmentofa seatand the studyofanothermotorcycles on the market, the activities in the last 2 months of internship involved basically theconceptandmodelingofanewmotorcycleseat.Thetaskswerebasically:

The second third of the internship fortunately leaded to good results in the field of theactivities.Theknowledgeacquiredinthefirsttwomonthswasveryimportanttogetmoreresponsibilityinthepredevelopmentphaseoftheproject.
Theseatinamotorcyclerepresentsaverycomplexcomponent,bothinitsgeometryandinthecomfortrequirements.Thepossibilityofworkingwiththeseatwasverygoodtoimproveboththeprojectconceptskills(solidmechanics,constructiontechniques)asthesurfacemodelingtechnique.Itisimportanttoenhancethatbeforethemodelingofthecomponentstheideasmustbepreciselystudiedandevaluated,inordertonotrepresentfutureconceptfailswhichcancostmuchtimeandmoneyforthecompany.
The internship goes, however, more to a practical area of the engineering, where thescientificknowledgeisnotusuallydirectlyapplied.Ontheotherhand,theprojectdevelopmentrequiresalotofcreativityandstudyofcomponents,marketandcustomerpreferences.
The progress with the German language played also an important role in the last twomonths,makingpossible to the intern to integratedifferentproject teamsand towork togetherwithengineersresponsibleforothermotorcyclecomponents.
