I am interested in the forces at play determining wheel lock up at different speeds.
Lets say a car is capable of locking the front wheels up at 130mph.
Does it lock up the wheels significantly easier at 30mph? If so, why?
If we assume it can generate the same acceleration level from both...
I have done a fair bit of mathematical and 3D modelling of independent automotive suspension systems, and have come to the conclusion that the in pure steady state cornering no matter what the combination of springs, ARB/sway bars, motion ratios or linkage geometry, the roll angle (ignoring the...
Hi everyone, I have a 3D wireframe model of an automotive suspension in WF5 that takes parameters for roll, pitch and steering angles, and outputs parameters for camber and toe angles amongst others. I want to write a macro that will plot the output parameters for a given range on input...
I have been doing a bit of reading into electronic brake force distribution, as I am interested in retrofitting it to my autocross car in an attempt to improve my performance under trailbraking. It would seem that the only physical difference between an EBD system and an regular 4 channel ABS...
I appreciate the boost ratio is not fully linear, however seeing as boost ratio is often noted in brake calculations, is there a way to determine it from the size of the booster and the applied vacuum?
I have a dual diaphragm booster with a total of 88sq.in with ~11.3psi vacuum (~28inHg) that I...
Hi all, first post on the forum so go easy on me!
My question relates to a discussion on an owners club forum where the members were discussing the effects of spring rate changes on the cars handling balance. The car in question was a FWD sports car, with equal spring rates front and rear, and...
