Abstract
This article presents linearized models of motorcycles and bicycles built with the main objective of introducing analytical and numerical analysis tools for students. Using the methodology of problem-based learning, the analysis and simulation of control systems were developed by both state variables and transfer functions approaches. The first step is the description and operation of the system’s individual components; the mathematical models of their isolated and integrated elements are developed and interpreted and, at last, the simulation and analysis of the open-loop system dynamic behavior is carried out. Once the behaviors that need change are identified, such as oscillations or instability, the appropriate control strategies are employed in order to achieve the desired system performance. Finally, the simulation and analysis of the closed-loop system dynamic behavior are made and improvements in the system performance are verified. All simulations and analysis of the open and closed loop systems are executed with the aid of Simulink/MATLAB.
