Hi all, stuck on a problem here if anyone knows about this stuff..
I have a simple coil suspension and damper linked to a wheel. I have found a formula for the load carrying capacity of the tire that includes the displacement. When sizing the spring, do I simply subtract the tire displacement from the needed needed spring displacement? How does one take into account the tires ability to absorb a load when sizing the coiled spring?
I understand this can be a very broad topic for specific answers, I'm looking for more of a ball park idea at the moment to get my values. Neglecting camber and turning if needed.
