    Roll center and effect on roll stiffness

    (assuming the tyres and chassis are rigid) and you set the roll axis coincident with the CG to get no roll. Does the roll stiffness ratio still come into play when working out the lateral load transfer? If it does how? as this I can't understand yet and if it doesn't then will the load transfer...

    Roll center and effect on roll stiffness

    I understand the difference in a straight line will obviously be different but I am not talking about that. Ill try to rephrase my question better as I've seem to missed the mark. If we take a steady state corner condition. So corner of x radius with y constant speed (Not accelerating) and we...

    Roll center and effect on roll stiffness

    As we all know, the roll stiffness ratio effects the load transfers during steady state cornering (Why changing anti roll bars effect handling) If we have a roll center on the ground, then the full lateral forces from corning acting through the CoG is 100% taken by the spring/dampers and the...

    Lap Simulation

    If you know a bit of matlab it really isn't that hard to create your own, I designed one but it took about two months. And two months in SAE time is too much. The hardest part of designing your own (well for me anyways) wasn't the actual calculations because there fairly straight forward but...

    Modifying mass question

    Hi guys, I've just started playing with ABAQUS as apart of my master course. We had people from SIMULIA teach the subject on ABAQUS but that part is over now so I don't have anyone to ask questions too hence I'm here. I have a automotive tubular chassis I designed and I'm crashing it into a...
