First off all a big hello to all board members.
I'm designing a full suspension mountain bike the rear suspension use's a 4 bar design.
My question is..
I have found the reaction force at the rear axle, now i want to calculate forces in each pivot
My question is as follows..
Is the first moment calculated by multiplying the force at the axle X the distance to the center of curvature of the linkage?
Are the other moments calculated by multiplying the force X distance to their physical pivot?
i included a pic of the design
