  • A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment
    A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment by Allison Waters A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 c Allison Waters 2017 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis presents the work of creating and validating a novel corner module for a three-wheeled urban electric vehicle in the tadpole configuration. As the urban population increases, there will be a growing need for compact, personal transportation. While urban electric vehicles are compact, they are inherently less stable when negotiating a turn, and they leave little space for passengers, cargo and crash structures. Corner modules provide an effective solution to increase the space in the cabin and increase the handling capabilities of the vehicle. Many corner module designs have been produced in the hopes of increasing the cabin space and improving the road holding capabilities of the wheel. However, none have been used to increase the turning stability of the vehicle via an active camber mechanism while remaining in an acceptable packaging space. Active camber mechanisms are also not a new concept, but they have not been implemented in a narrow packaging space with relatively large camber angle. Parallel mechanism research and vehicle dynamics theory were combined to generate and analyse this new corner module design.

  • Tech 03: Spring Spacing, Roll Stiffness and Transverse Weight Transfer
    Tech 03: Spring spacing, Roll Stiffness and Transverse Weight Transfer By ZŝĐŚĂƌĚ͞Doc͟ Hathaway, H&S Prototype and Design, LLC. Understanding how your choice of spring type, spring stiffness, spring placement and spring angle influence the front and rear roll stiffness and the roll stiffness distribution is important to understanding how the weight is distributed to the tires when the race car is cornering. In this tutorial we will work primarily with helping you understand how roll stiffness is determined and how your choice of the above mentioned variables affects its value. Just as the springs act to support the race car weight and control the vertical chassis motions, they also work to control the amount of roll the race car chassis has when cornering. This resistance to chassis roll offered by the springs is called roll stiffness. In addition to the roll stiffness, the front and rear roll center heights also determine how each of the suspensions transfer the cornering forces, the weight transfer and how much roll the chassis takes on during cornering. Tech 01- Springs, Shocks and your Suspension which was posted earlier is a reference for this Tech session. A quick overview of that material is included to assure you have correct suspension values with which to work. The terminology There are two primary angles that govern how race cars transfer weight during racing maneuvers. The first is the roll angle which is the angle, side-to-side, the car seeks as the turn is entered and as the car proceeds through the turn. If there is a roll angle, there MUST be a center for that rotation to occur about; that defines the roll center.

  • Chassis Tuning 101 Matt Murphy’S Dirt Oval Chassis Tuning Guide
    Chassis Tuning 101 Matt Murphy’s Dirt Oval Chassis Tuning Guide PREFACE Over the last 17 years of my life, I have raced Dirt Oval all over the United States, on foam tires and rubber, hard packed and loose dirt. I have learned a lot about chassis setup on many different track surfaces with many different types of cars. Much of what I have learned is from trial and error, and quite a bit I have learned from doing plain old research on race car chassis dynamics. My goal now is to take what I have learned, and share it with you, but I want to do so in the simplest, easiest to understand manner that I possibly can. I certainly do not know everything, and I am not always right, however I can say that it is rare that I work on a particular chassis setup, and do not find improvement with each adjustment. My theories are just that, and are intended only to help you better enjoy your RC race cars, no matter which make and model you choose. Some things I pay much more attention to than others when it comes to chassis setup, but please understand there is no right or wrong, there is simply what works best for YOU!

  • Roll Center Technical Info.Pdf
    Roll center The roll center of a vehicle is the imaginary point marking the center of where the car will roll (when cornering) when looked at from the front (or behind). The location of the geometric roll center is solely dictated by the suspension geometry. The official definition of roll center is: "The point in the transverse vertical plane through any pair of wheel centers at which lateral forces may be applied to the sprung mass without producing suspension roll". The significance of the roll center can only be appreciated when the vehicles center of mass is also considered. If there is a difference between the position of the center of mass and the roll center a “moment arm” is created. When the vehicle experiences lateral acceleration due to cornering, the roll center moves up or down and the size of the moment arm, combined with the stiffness of the springs and roll bars (sway bars in some parts of the world) dictate how much the vehicle will roll while cornering. The geometric roll center of the vehicle can be found by following basic geometrical procedures when the vehicle is static: Draw imaginary lines parallel to the suspension arms (in red). Then draw imaginary lines between the intersection points of the red lines and the bottom center of the wheels as shown in the picture (in green). The intersection point for these green lines is the roll center. You should note that the roll center will move when the suspension is compressed or lifted, that's why it's actually an instantaneous roll center.
