Im starting up an initial dynamic model of a medium sized sedan, front engine layout, all wheel drive, around 1400kg (3000lb), would anyone have figures for roll, pitch, yaw inertia's for something like this?

Hi,
I was just wondering what you guys thought would be the best plan of action when faced with the problem of power steering when converting an IC car (say honda civic say 94) to electric. Ive come up with a number of ways to overcome this:
1. No power steering and just adjust the suspension...
Hi all,
Ive tried a few searches but nothing has come up for what im after regarding the stiffness of helical spring lock washers.
Im interested in their force deflection curve (stiffness)for standard metric sizes, much like the readily available full disc spring washers or also known as...
Hi,
Ive been looking into some deisel engines, both NA and turbocharged. For natrualy aspirated version it troubles me that there isnt really a strong control of deisel / air ratio, well apart from the deisel pump (which could offer tight control??). I was wondering what the ranges would be...
Just after a comfirmation in regards to the true side view instant center for a mcpherson strut suspension system.
The IC point needs to lie in the wheel center plane, projecting the lower control arm to the plane is the same as with a SLA system.
However for the strut top, is it projected...
Just after a comfirmation and any correction if need be on the terms to use in the calculation of compression and rebound damping ratio.
For compression, use the chassis spring and tyre spring rate combined, the combined damper and tyre damping, and the mass of the unsprung system.
For rebound...
Hi all,
Have a question regarding dynamic stability control or electronic stability program what ever one like to describe a system which uses brake pulses to control understeer / oversteer.
Im curious as to why it requires 3 primary sensors; steering angle, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration...
