    Monoshock wheel rates and roll stiffness

    Yes. Would that TLLTD method be valid, because as one wheel goes into bump the other is forced into droop, although the amount is reduced with the belleville washers. It's not an anti-roll system as such? But if you think it would be valid, at least for simple static calculations, then I'll go...

    Monoshock wheel rates and roll stiffness

    That is correct. The lack of roll damping at the front is probably a bit of an issue, but perhaps the friction in the disc spring stack helps a bit. Also, the car is really quite stiff, and I would imagine that the rear dampers do quite a bit of the roll damping as the suspension warps. But for...

    Monoshock wheel rates and roll stiffness

    Hi I am going to be racing a Dallara F3 car next year with a monoshock front suspension, using a belleville washer stack to supply some roll stiffness. I am hoping to calculate various things on the car to determine starting points for stack stiffnesses and spring rates etc. 1. Because the...

    Spring Preload in Single Seater Race Cars

    Hi, I have been running a 1988 F3 car in a UK based championship for the last year (Monoposto), and have been trying to climb the steep learning curve. One thing has caused a lot of confusion, and I've not really been able to find or deduce real answers: Spring Preload! Our car uses rising...
