Stiffness of Spring provided Wheel rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stiffness of Spring = Wheel Rate of Vehicle/(((Motion Ratio in Suspension)^2)*(Spring Angle Correction Factor))
k = K_t/(((M.R.)^2)*(cosθ))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Stiffness of Spring - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of Spring is the measure of a spring's resistance to deformation in a racing car's tire behavior, affecting its overall performance and handling.
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.
Motion Ratio in Suspension - Motion ratio in suspension is the ratio of the motion of the suspension to the motion of the wheel in a racing car, affecting its overall performance.
Spring Angle Correction Factor - Spring angle correction factor is a measure of the adjustment made to the spring angle to optimize tire behavior and performance in racing cars.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wheel Rate of Vehicle: 100 Newton per Meter --> 100 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Motion Ratio in Suspension: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
Spring Angle Correction Factor: 0.86025 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = K_t/(((M.R.)^2)*(cosθ)) --> 100/(((0.85)^2)*(0.86025))

Evaluating ... ...

k = 160.893117696332

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

160.893117696332 Newton per Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

160.893117696332 ≈ 160.8931 Newton per Meter <-- Stiffness of Spring

What is Spring rate or stiffness?

A spring’s Spring Rate is the amount of weight required to deflect a spring by one unit (say one inch/meter). The lower the Spring Rate, the softer the spring. The softer the spring, the smoother the ride.

How to Calculate Stiffness of Spring provided Wheel rate?

Stiffness of Spring provided Wheel rate calculator uses Stiffness of Spring = Wheel Rate of Vehicle/(((Motion Ratio in Suspension)^2)*(Spring Angle Correction Factor)) to calculate the Stiffness of Spring, Stiffness of Spring provided Wheel rate formula is defined as the ratio of the transmissibility of the suspension system to the sprung mass, providing a measure of the stiffness of the suspension system in relation to the wheel rate, which affects the vehicle's ride and handling characteristics. Stiffness of Spring is denoted by k symbol.
