How Do You Calculate Ride Frequency for Optimal Comfort?

AI Thread Summary
Calculating ride frequency for optimal comfort involves using ride rate and sprung mass, with multiple variables influencing the outcome. Key parameters include vehicle type, terrain, weight, and tire specifications. For instance, an army troop carrier with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 12 tons and a payload of 2 tons requires specific spring rate calculations. The use of 10R20 crossply tires also affects the overall comfort level. Understanding these factors is essential for selecting the appropriate suspension components for any vehicle.

How to calculate ride frequency for a vehicle by using Ride rate and Sprung Mass?
What are the parameters for right comfort level?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
what kind of vehicle
what terrain?
what is weight
what kind of tires..you have many varibales that have to be addressed before proper springs can be selected
see psot

Race car suspension Class
 
It is an army troop carrier.
It is an off road vehicle.
Its GVW is 12 Ton and payload is 2 Ton.
Tyres used are 10R20 crossply...
 
i am out of my league on this one but suspect the math is the same..suggest you read the following post as background on basic spring rate calculations

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
