Granted I'm cherry picking quotes here and the dialog has evolved however;
so we seem to agree that connecting a left and right bellcrank is fine say for anti roll or anti pitch or heave.
...
The number 1 right above that in the rules is you only get 4 dampers/Shock Absorbers. So sounds like you can do a Third spring system, as long as it's only a spring and no dampening. and yeah I...
2. Dampers must be independent from each other with no interconnectivity.
However, data acquisition is permissible, as long as it serves no
other purpose.
Could someone help me with where the...
So, I would think once you get a simulation working of POU, what you're looking to do is combine the MZ output of both inboard and outboard tire to get to a steering wheel torque function.
Then...
Yeah I'm familiar with that forum. It's not so obvious on that forum to seperate opinion from published scientific concensus. I read up some from that forum and came away .... I'll just stick...
I'm about to re-code my suspension points generating program and had a couple questions.
What does everyone else think about trying to get the kinetic roll center to move left and right with the...
Is there a common favorite CFD software among everyone?
OpenFOAM
Solidworks
Fluent
I've tried to open OpenFOAM it won't even come up. Think I'm gonna have to make a new partition for Linux...
To start I was more thinking of the coanda effect years. Sidepods were much larger on those cars though.
I remember our teams Aerodynamisist struggling to maintain a high downforce diffuser with...
I'm not familiar with Mr. Lathrop. Though its clear he has the respect of everyone here, he has no doubt worked very hard, lost sleep, time and money to be deserving of the respect given to him. I...
A simplification seems to have caught you out. Chris, as you don't sound like your familiar with the concepts lets talk tire models.
What's being discussed here:
Is the result of excess slip...
That's what I was saying!!
It wasn't getting any support hahaha. Thanks Chris
Sounds like even some rudimentary track maps would go a long way.
Googling those next chance I get
So Diffusers are supposed to be the most efficient means of generating downforce. It's a surface area thing. And with all the discussion in preshows for F1 since the aero rule changes in 09...
Was thinking street mode is riding on 16s and track mode rides on 13s clearing speedbumps. Kinematics is MUCH less important in the street.
I'm terrified to take it on the highway for not being...
I go back to school for my last course, Quality Control. And then I'm done engineering.
SAE wasn't a course at my school, an extra curricular. However like happens to a lot of students I missed...
Daryl;
Are you saying, because it says "ALL" ... show up with a dyno print and your one off motor and you meet the rules and its up to the CRB to ban your one off motor next month?
Roger good to see Yeah here
Castrol is no Mosport or Road Atlanta. Maybe you're right 180-200 is more realistic. I have a drawing of Castrol with corner radiuses but no straight lengths (double...
I don't know that I'm starting at FB. I've got limited time in TAG 2-stroke Karts but I learned a bit there. I've got a lot of time in Autocross as locally that's a community 100 strong, and...
The above mentioned "Mass produced 4-stroke" gets rid of the funny business but since its been 8 years?? Now for F1000 and no ones done the Ducati Aprilia thing you're worried about i wouldn't...
So what's the worst part of driving an FB that it inspires these aerobatic plane analogies? The power to weight maybr means it might be a challenge to put the power down and throttle control is very...
There's still lots of single cylinder development to get the Bishop Rotary Valves to work. Company went under so finding seals is the issue.
The valves deserve a moment in the sun and all the RPM...
Thanks for your responses.
I'm thinking that was the ETS team you met at Trois Rivière. In pics of their latest car with the billet crank case there's only a poor one from 5 feet back of...
Oh okay I see.
It's not simply dyno it and we'll get back to you with a restrictor or rev limit. It's dyno it and we can say no even though its an open engine class
Road Atlanta is a long drive to show up and be told ... well the rules don't say it but it's always been an understanding that you can't. Which I've read in a couple places in the rules forum now...
I'm pretty sure you caught that I more meant how he did his own sand castings. There's apparently only one running Britten so you're never getting that 1L motor. However;
How far would you have...
Thanks Randy
After reading some of the forum though; will there be a class to enter in a couple years?
I'm about to graduate Automotive Engineering and made a few SAE cars in school. My father had a heart...
I don't see anything in the rules spelling out what it is to be the engine manufacturer?
Can someone pull a "John Britten" in this class?
