What are the drawbacks of anti-roll bar?
Because an anti-roll bar connects wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle, the bar transmits the force of a bump on one wheel to the opposite wheel. On rough or broken pavement, anti-roll bars can produce jarring, side-to-side body motions (a "waddling" sensation), which increase in severity with the diameter and stiffness of the sway bars. Other suspension techniques can delay or dampen this effect of the connecting bar. Excessive roll stiffness, typically achieved by configuring an anti-roll bar too aggressively, can make the inside wheels lift off the ground during hard cornering. This can be used to advantage: many front-wheel-drive production cars lift a rear wheel when cornering hard in order to overload the opposite wheel, limiting understeer.
How to Calculate Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate?
Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate calculator uses Assumed Initial Roll Rate = (Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2+Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2) to calculate the Assumed Initial Roll Rate, The Assumed initial roll rate given required anti-roll bar rate formula is used to find the initially assumed spring rate of the anti-roll bar which would be used to find the required anti-roll bar rate of the system considered. Assumed Initial Roll Rate is denoted by KΦ symbol.
How to calculate Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate, enter Required Anti Roll Bar Rate (Ka), Wheel Centre Rate (Kw), Track Width of Vehicle (a) & Tyre Vertical Rate (Kt) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 76693.26 = (89351+35239*(1.2^2)/2)*(321330*(1.2^2)/2)/(321330*(1.2^2)/2+89351+35239*(1.2^2)/2).
