Front View Geometry and Roll Center Height 1

AIM :-

To calculate the instant center and roll center location using the given hardpoints.

GIVEN :-

Hardpoints,

Tire radius = 300 mm.

Track width = 1600 mm.

INSTANT CENTER CALCULATION :-

Therefore the instant center location is (-855 , 238.76).

CALCULATION OF ROLL CENTER HEIGHT :-

Since the trackwidth of the vehicle is 1600 mm, the coordinates for half the trackwidth will be (800,0).

Using these equations the roll center location is obtained from the graph as shown below.

Therefore, the roll center location is (800 , -224.64).

CONCLUSION :-

• The instant center location is calculated.
• The roll center location is calulated.
