    Roll Stiffness and Spring Rates, Trying to Understand

    AeroFC Yeh Im aware, I've raced karts for nearly 15 years now, But with adjustments available in axle and chassis stiffness, which would alter the pitch and roll stiffness of the vehicle, I was trying to understand how certain adjustments would affect the overall balance and why. When you...

    Roll Stiffness and Spring Rates, Trying to Understand

    Greg, Thanks for that point. I understand that it is only part of the big picture in which the vehicle operates. However its easy to forget. imcjoek, I'm going to go back and read something more basic and take the steps you suggested to try and understand exactly what is going on. I'm also...

    Roll Stiffness and Spring Rates, Trying to Understand

    Gt6Racer2, Thanks for that input, so its more a case of less load being applied to the outside rear in relation to the inside rear. I think I understand now, karts have always fascinated me in the sense that some manufacturers say a softer axle or chassis setup in the rear causes less grip in...

    Roll Stiffness and Spring Rates, Trying to Understand

    Hi Everyone, I've had a search and haven't found the answer to my exact question so here goes. I will just inform you initially I'm trying to work from two conflicting views regarding differing spring rates, roll stiffness and tyre loads as a result. I'm in my head trying to work out how a go...

    engine and ride vibration calculation

    it does but i wanted it to be quite specific to the application. I'm not looking to work out the exact vibration as i know you would have to work out the vibration through materials etc. Is there a relatively simple method of working out what vibration would potentially come from the...

    engine and ride vibration calculation

    Hi, I'm sure this question will seem pretty basic for most here but I'm not particularly familiar with vibration and would really appreciate pointing in the correct direction. I'm trying to set up a test whereby i will test different sensors using different vibration frequencies. The idea is...

    Adams Go Kart Simulation HELP!

    Ok fair point, how about if i go for something quite simple to begin with? I only stated Adams View as its the program i know best how to use and the one i have the most access to. Is it not possible to make it a very simple model using a spring and damper type arrangement? maybe using two...

    Adams Go Kart Simulation HELP!

    Hi, I've only just started using ADAMS view and car so please bear with me. What I want to do is model a go kart in Adams view and then use the model to simulate different situations that are available in Adams car such as the ISO lane change. I then want to place a roll cage onto the kart and...
