Introduction to the course This introduction gives an overview of some key topics which will be important to ensure you can use RACE Software successfully to complete the modules in this course. What is ...
Camber compliance Camber compliance (the inverse of camber stiffness) is a measure of the compliance of a suspension system when subject to a cornering (lateral) force at the contact patch. It is expressed as ...
Wheel centre longitudinal compliance Wheel centre longitudinal compliance is a measure of the compliance of a suspension system when it is subject to a longitudinal force. It is measured in millimetres per kilo-newton, mm/kN. ...
Final tuning challenge In this final tuning challenge you are given a tuning scenario with a number of suspension performance targets which you must deliver. This is a self assessed challenge, you have completed ...
Final tuning challenge – Walk through This lesson takes you through one approach to delivering the suspension targets set out in the final tuning challenge. Each step in the tuning process is accompanied by ...
Steering Axis Geometry The steer axis of a suspension is the axis about which the suspension steers when the driver applies an input to the steering wheel. The steer axis geometry is defined by ...
Lateral compliance steer Lateral compliance steer (also know as side force steer) is a suspension compliance metric to measure the amount of self steer generated by a suspension system when it is subject to ...
Bump steer linearity In this lesson we will revisit bump steer (if you have not completed the bump steer lesson, you are advised to complete it before completing this lesson). This time we will ...
Brake steer Brake steer is a metric to measure the amount of self steer generated by a suspension system when it is subject to a braking (longitudinal) load at the tyre contact patch. Brake ...
Bump camber Bump camber (also known as camber gain) is a measure of suspension camber change with wheel travel and is expressed in degrees of camber change per metre of suspension travel, Deg/m. Roll ...
