Suspension designing from scratch
Hi, ive got a clean sheet of paper for designing suspension on a single seater FS car. I need to design the front and rear suspension and there are no wings (hence only drag forces here). How do designers go about designing suspension from scratch. What aspect of suspension do they approach first. any comments please as im a little lost. but have so far got this in mind.
![]() 1) decide what tyres are to be used front and rear and figure out their force capabilities 2) locate the C of G then figure out the roll moment distribution 3) Do a kinematic analysis (including RC) 4) do a force analysis 5) itnerate between 3 & 4 6) ride analysis what do you guys reckon then??? |
