ROLL CENTER FORMULA HELP
ROLL CENTER FORMULA HELP
(OP)
Hi,
I'm working on a software program to calculate the front roll center of a NASCAR Nextel Cup race car. Does anyone know of a mathematical formula for this? I've done it by plotting it out on graph paper based on suspension measurments and I would like to be able to do it on the PC. I'll give you a free copy of the proram for your help.
Thanks in Advance

I haven't worked out the formula as such, it would probably get very difficult to account for the correct quadrant in the sines and coses in a short long arm, for example.
You might want to look in the FAQ.

I would suggest you confer with William C. Mitchell. He has software that does what you want and a whole bunch more. Do a Google search "William C Mitchell software". This man has been doing chassis software for years and has some very usefull, easy to use programs.

Is it correct to assume that the suspension is not necessarily symmetrical left side vs right in terms of link lengths and inclinations? That will determine how many independent inputs are necessary.
