Wheel Rate, Ride Rate, and Hop Rate
Request Number: 50000210
| Component | Unit | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (X): Left Wheel Rate | N/mm | The left wheel vertical stiffness (excluding tires) when both the left and
right wheels are moving in-phase
or: 1/(C(3,3)+C(3,9)) |
| 2 (Y): Left Ride Rate | N/mm | The left wheel vertical stiffness (tires in series) when both the left and
right wheels are moving in-phase or: ((wheel rate)*(tire stiffness))/((wheel rate)+(tire stiffness)) |
| 3 (Z): Left Hop Rate | N/mm | The left wheel vertical stiffness (tires in parallel) when both the left and
right wheels are moving in-phase or: (wheel rate) + (tire stiffness) |
| 4 (X): Right Wheel Rate | N/mm | The right wheel vertical stiffness (excluding tires) when both the left and
right wheels are moving in-phase
or: 1/(C(9,3)+C(9,9)) |
| 5 (Y): Right Ride Rate | N/mm | The right wheel vertical stiffness (tires in series) when both the left and
right wheels are moving in-phase or: ((wheel rate)*(tire stiffness))/((wheel rate)+(tire stiffness)) |
| 6 (Z): Right Hop Rate | N/mm | The right wheel vertical stiffness (tires in parallel) when both the left and
right wheels are moving in-phase or: (wheel rate) + (tire stiffness) |
