    Automotive How to find the uneven weight distribution on 4 wheels

    Okay, I think I was mixed up on your method and notation. I now see the terms like Fz,(F&R)R meant the both the right wheels collapsed together. Also, it seems you are splitting the problem up into a couple 2D problems rather than 3D. Continuing with this, yes, I am assuming the vehicle will be...

    Automotive How to find the uneven weight distribution on 4 wheels

    A few questions: I recognize your 1st, 2nd, and 5th equations are the same as the few I mentioned as well, the moments in the x_hat and y_hat direction about the front left (FL) wheel and the full sum of all the z forces to be 0. However, would equations 3 and 7 effectively say 0 = 0 if...

    Automotive How to find the uneven weight distribution on 4 wheels

    Hello, I am working on a project where I am trying to find the weight distribution on a 4 wheeled vehicle that is traveling diagonally up an incline. You can effectively think of the vehicle as having a pitch and a yaw angle in the body frame. Using an arbitrary location of the total center of...
