What are the main functions of anti-roll bar?

The first function is the reduction of body lean which is dependent on the total roll stiffness of the vehicle. Increasing which does not change the steady-state total load (weight) transfer from the inside wheels to the outside wheels, it only reduces body lean. The total lateral load transfer is determined by the CG height and track width. The other function is to tune the handling balance of a car. Understeer or oversteer behaviour can be tuned out by changing the proportion of the total roll stiffness that comes from the front and rear axles. Increasing the proportion of roll stiffness at the front increases the proportion of total load transfer that front axle reacts to—and decreases proportion that rear axle reacts to. In general, this makes outer front wheel run at a comparatively higher slip angle, and outer rear wheel run at a comparatively lower slip angle, which is an understeer effect. Increasing the proportion of roll stiffness at the rear axle has the opposite effect and decreases understeer.

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 Roll Rate with Anti-Roll Bar?

Roll Rate with Anti-Roll Bar calculator uses Roll Rate = (Tyre Vertical Rate*(Rear Track Width^2)/2*(Roll Rate of Anti-Roll Bar+Wheel Centre Rate*(Spring Track Width^2)/2))/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Rear Track Width^2)/2+Roll Rate of Anti-Roll Bar+Wheel Centre Rate*(Spring Track Width^2)/2) to calculate the Roll Rate, The Roll rate with Anti-roll bar formula used to find the stiffness of the car with an axle suspension and anti-roll bar in the roll mode.
