A car of mass m where wheelbase L is to be designed as an oversteer vehicle with a critical speed of V. This is to be done by adjusting the center of mass location. Given that the cornering stiffnesses at the axles are Cf and Cr calculate the center of mass location (Lf & Lr) as a function of M, L, Vc Cf and Cr. What would be this center of mass location, in case an understeer vehicle is to be designed? What is the speed parameter (critical speed/characteristic speed) that needs to be accounted for here?
Step by Step Solution
There are 3 Steps involved in it
Step: 1
The center of mass location Lf and Lr for an oversteer vehicle can be calculated using the formula Where m is the mass of the car L is the wheelbase o...
