Ride Rate given Wheel Centre Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ride Rate = (Tyre Vertical Rate*Wheel Centre Rate)/(Tyre Vertical Rate+Wheel Centre Rate)
K_r = (K_t*K_w)/(K_t+K_w)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Ride Rate - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Ride Rate is defined as vertical force per unit vertical displacement of the tire ground contact with respect to chassis.
Tyre Vertical Rate - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Tyre Vertical Rate is the spring rate controlled by the tyre compound, sidewall stiffness and operating pressure.
Wheel Centre Rate - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Wheel Centre Rate is the vertical force acting on the tire per unit vertical displacement at the location along the spindle corresponding to the wheel centerline, measured relative to the chassis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tyre Vertical Rate: 321330 Newton per Meter --> 321330 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Wheel Centre Rate: 35239 Newton per Meter --> 35239 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_r = (K_t*K_w)/(K_t+K_w) --> (321330*35239)/(321330+35239)

Evaluating ... ...

K_r = 31756.4002198733

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

31756.4002198733 Newton per Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

31756.4002198733 ≈ 31756.4 Newton per Meter <-- Ride Rate

Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go 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)

Tyre Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Tyre Vertical Rate = (((Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)*Assumed Initial Roll Rate)/((Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)-Assumed Initial Roll Rate))*2/Track Width of Vehicle^2

Wheel Centre Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Wheel Centre Rate = (Assumed Initial Roll Rate*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2-Assumed Initial Roll Rate)-Required Anti Roll Bar Rate)/((Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)

Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Required Anti Roll Bar Rate = Assumed Initial Roll Rate*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2-Assumed Initial Roll Rate)-Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2

Ride Rate given Wheel Centre Rate Formula

LaTeX Go

Ride Rate = (Tyre Vertical Rate*Wheel Centre Rate)/(Tyre Vertical Rate+Wheel Centre Rate)
K_r = (K_t*K_w)/(K_t+K_w)

Why to use this formula?

With the tyre selected able to generate our required cornering forces, we can add in our tyre vertical spring rate to come to a wheel centre rate. In reality, there are two springs acting between the chassis and the ground. These two springs are the wheel centre rate, controlled by the spring and anti-roll bar, and the vertical tyre rate, controlled by the tyre compound, sidewall stiffness and operating pressure. In order to combine these two spring effects to create one, we must add them together. Although they are acting in series, the equation is slightly different than our linear springs in series equation due to the tyre rate being involved. Therefore, we use this formula.
