pitch stiffness calculation with migrating pitch centre

pitch stiffness calculation with migrating pitch centre

pitch stiffness calculation with migrating pitch centre

(OP)
Hello,

Im trying to estimate the  longitudinal weight transfer distribution between the 2 sides of the car in a rolled state when on the outside the geometric pitch centre is 8m in front of the car, and on the inside the pitch centre is about midway between front and rear axles.

in theory shouldnt the outside pitch stiffness be much much higher than the inside due to the lever arm of the springs being further away from the pitch centre?

also i guess this has a smaller effect than 1st thought as the 2 sides are linked by a stiff body, so the inside cant pitch 10x as much as the outside.
