    Determine speed needed to cause rollover of car hitting ramp

    The dimensions are indeed known, as well as the cg Yes, the dimensions are known as well as the cg height. How would you suggest estimating the moment of inertia? Treat as a known rigid body like maybe a rectangle perhaps?

    Determine speed needed to cause rollover of car hitting ramp

    Oh and the way I determine a roll is if the car achieves its SSA (static stability angle) which relates a car's c.g. height and track width (track width = the distance from the center of one front tire to the center of the other front tire). SSA is defined as arctan((t/2)/h) where t = vehicle...

    Determine speed needed to cause rollover of car hitting ramp

    Hello, So my issue is as follows: You have a car going at a constant speed and the right side of the car hits a ramp which causes that side to elevate and cause the car to rotate about its x axis. What I need to figure out is how fast does the car need to hit the ramp to cause a rollover...
