Problem set 2 -week 3 challenge
- Front end deflection under load = 0.21 inches
- Rear end deflection under load = 0.13 inches
- Pitch angle = 0.20 degrees
- Pitch gradient = 0.40 (deg/g)
- Front anti-lift angle= 3.45 degrees
- Rear anti-squat angle= 6.04 degrees
- Front swing arm angle for 100% anti-lift = 9.84 degrees
- Rear swing arm angle for 100% anti-squat = 9.84 degrees
- Front anti-lift % = 0
- Rear anti-lift % = 61.42
For zero pitch angle
- Front anti-lift % = 0
- Rear anti-squat % = 260 percent
- Front end deflection under load, accounting for the new anti characteristics = 0.21 inches
- Rear end deflection under load, accounting for the new anti characteristics = -0.21 inches
- Pitch angle, accounting for the new anti characteristics (verify that it is indeed zero) = 0
Calculations were done in Matlab instead of Excel.
