Selection of Anti-Roll bars and K&C parameters to meet the target understeer gradient for a Lightweight sporty vehicle

Introduction: The main aim of this project is to select anti-roll bars and K&C parameters to meet the target understeer gradient using the specified vehicle level targets (roll gradient and understeer gradient) for a Lightweight sporty vehicle. At first, the roll gradients were adjusted to get the dimensions of the…

Pacejka Tire model (or) Magic tire formula: Pacejka Tire model was developed by Hans B. Pacejka (TU Deflt), Egbert Bakker and Lars Nyborg (Volvo Cars Group). This is used to fit the experimental tire data, which is widely used in vehicle dynamics simulation studies. This formula gives the empirical representation of tire…

Introduction: The main aim of this project is to select springs and anti-roll bars using the specified vehicle level targets (ride frequency, roll gradient and pitch gradient) for a 4WD Sedan with a McPherson strut suspension in the front and a multilink setup in the rear. Spring rates are the ones which plays an important…
