Thanks both of you for your posts. You've both given me alot to think about. Goran, thanks for pointing me to those two Racecar Engineering articles. I just read them both, and I'll probably re-read them five or six more times... I really appreciate being able to get help from people who are...
Again, I realize I’m talking to people who know much more than me, so thanks for your patience!
If you defined the roll center to be the intersection of the force lines from each tire and defined the roll axis to be the axis about which the car rolls, then what sort of effects would its...
Greg, thanks for your response. I realize that many people do not put much stock into the geometric roll center. I haven’t done enough research/thought through it enough to decide what I think of the geometric roll center (it’s an ongoing process for me, as I am somewhat new to vehicle...
What are the effects of lateral roll center migration? From what I have read, I generally understand that significant lateral migration of the roll centers is a bad thing. Is this true? Why? I can’t seem to find much information on the effects of roll center migration. Does it matter if the...
I am currently struggling through attempting to understand the function of anti roll bars as a part of the entire load transfer picture. I am new to this, so this is a pretty basic question. As I understand it, anti roll bars contribute to the elastic portion of the total lateral load...
