Wheel Rate given Tire Rate and Ride Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wheel Rate of Vehicle = (Tire Rate*Ride Rate of Car)/(Tire Rate-Ride Rate of Car)
K_t = (K_tr*K_RR)/(K_tr-K_RR)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Tire Rate - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Tire rate is the measure of a tire's performance and responsiveness in a racing car, affecting its speed, handling, and overall racing experience.
Ride Rate of Car - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Ride rate of car is the measure of a racing car's suspension movement, affecting its stability, handling, and overall performance during high-speed cornering and braking.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tire Rate: 11.11 Newton per Meter --> 11.11 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Ride Rate of Car: 9.9991 Newton per Meter --> 9.9991 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_t = (K_tr*K_RR)/(K_tr-K_RR) --> (11.11*9.9991)/(11.11-9.9991)

Evaluating ... ...

K_t = 100.000000900171

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

100.000000900171 Newton per Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

100.000000900171 ≈ 100 Newton per Meter <-- Wheel Rate of Vehicle

Contact Point of Wheel and Curb Distance from Wheel Center Axis

Go Contact Point Distance from Wheel Center Axis = sqrt(2*Effective Radius of Wheel*(Height of Curb-Height of Curb^2))

Angle between Traction Force and Horizontal Axis

Go Angle between Traction Force and Horizontal Axis = asin(1-Curb Height/Effective Radius of Wheel)

Tire Side Wall Height

Go Tire Side Wall Height = (Aspect Ratio of Tire*Tire Width)/100

Aspect Ratio of Tire

Go Aspect Ratio of Tire = Tire Side Wall Height/Tire Width*100

Wheel Rate given Tire Rate and Ride Rate Formula

Wheel Rate of Vehicle = (Tire Rate*Ride Rate of Car)/(Tire Rate-Ride Rate of Car)
K_t = (K_tr*K_RR)/(K_tr-K_RR)

What is wheel rate?

Wheel Rate is basically the Spring Rate but measured at the wheel instead of where the spring attaches to the linkage.
