Front View Geometry and Roll Center Height 1
1.Calculate the following geometric parameters:
i.Instant center location (coordinates)
Ans:
Line eqn: y - y1 = [(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)] * (x - x1)
Line eqn of UCA (Lu) => z = 7/36*y +4855/12
Line eqn of LCA (Ll) => z = -3/53*y + 10120/53
IC => intersection of Lines Lu & Ll =>
IC_y = 850.99165 ~ 851 mm
IC_z = 239.113 mm
ii.Roll center height
Line eqn of RC => z = -239.113/851 * y
y @ vehicle centerline = 800 mm
=> z = -224.783 mm
Negative sign indicates that RC is below the ground
