optimal roll centers
optimal roll centers
(OP)
Together with a couple of coleagues, (racecar builders), we have a discusion on what is the ideal position and movement of roll centers. the type of car is a rear wheel drive touring car with front engine, solid axle,1300 kg 50/50 distribution, with 2.74 mts wheelbase, 1.65 mts track. we would like to know what others think, since we cann´t decide if it is better to have roll centers above or under the ground, and which should be higher. thank you

how can i calculate the Suspension roll stiffness at axle roll axis for semi-trailers axles ?!! can anybody help and advise please?? i attached a drawing for SAF type axles..
RE: optimal roll centers
Transport trucks are designed to not have appreciable body roll, because if any appreciable body roll were allowed, it would let the center of gravity shift outward and allow the truck to tip over more easily. It's done by having extraordinarily high roll stiffness, and that's why even trucks with air-ride suspension still have a rough ride ...
