Week 4 Challenge 2- Damper profile calculation

1) Find Wheel rate (Kw), Ride rate (Kr)and the Sprung masses at the front and rear.

• Kw = Ks*MR^2
• Kr = Kw*Kt/(Kw+Kt)

2) Then find the Sprung and Unsprung mass critical damping

• Cs.crit = 2*(Kr/Ms)^0.5
• Cus.crit = 2*((Kw+Kt)/Mus)^0.5

3) Find the Sprung and Unsprung mass damping coefficient

• Cs = Damping ratio*Cs.crit
• Cus = Damping ratio.*Cus.crit

4) Find the Low speed and High speed compression damping coefficient

• Low speed Compression C = Cs/2
• High speed Compression C = Cus/2

5) Find the Low and High speed rebound damping coefficient

• Low speed rebound C = (Rebound/Compression ratio) * Low speed compression C
• High speed rebound C = (Rebound/Compression ratio) * High speed compression C

6) Follow these equations for both rear and front
