Spring rate given wheel rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Spring Rate = Wheel Rate of Vehicle/((Installation Ratio^2)*cos(Damper Angle from Vertical))
K = K_t/((IR^2)*cos(Φ))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Spring Rate - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Spring rate is the measure of a spring's stiffness in a racing car's tire behavior, affecting the vehicle's handling and responsiveness during cornering and braking.
Wheel Rate of Vehicle - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Wheel Rate of Vehicle is the ratio of the spring rate of the suspension to the motion ratio of the tire, affecting the racing car's handling and stability.
Installation Ratio - Installation ratio is the proportion of tire installation that affects the racing car's performance, handling, and overall tire behavior during a race.
Damper Angle from Vertical - (Measured in Radian) - Damper angle from vertical is the angle at which the damper is positioned in relation to the vertical axis of the racing car's tire.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wheel Rate of Vehicle: 100 Newton per Meter --> 100 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Installation Ratio: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Damper Angle from Vertical: 89.62 Degree --> 1.56416407563702 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K = K_t/((IR^2)*cos(Φ)) --> 100/((0.5^2)*cos(1.56416407563702))

Evaluating ... ...

More about Wheel rate

Wheel rate is a measure of the effective stiffness of the suspension system measured at the wheel center. The wheel rate is the slope of a graph plotting wheel force vs wheel travel. It is expressed in Newtons per meter or N/m.

The primary contributor to the wheel rate is the suspension spring. If the suspension system has rubber bushes at the joints, the torsional stiffness of the bushes also contributes to the wheel rate of the suspension. Wheel rate in roll also includes the contribution of the anti-roll bar. The wheel rate of a suspension system can be used to calculate the ride frequency of a vehicle if the sprung mass is known.
