Hi,
We were facing problem in deciding the slip angles of the inner and outer tires at which we would want them to operate for extracting the maximum lateral force during cornering with the limitations we have.
With the maximum chassis roll limited to 2.4 deg (by the suspension team )during cornering the maximum lateral acceleration we can generate is 1.4g which limits our maximum lateral force to 4527 N.
the Hoosier tires 20.5*7.0 which we use peaks at around 7 deg in an Fy vs SA graph(with co-efficient of friction 0.7). Now the problem is we are not in a position to extract the best lateral force that can be generated by (due to chassis roll limitation) our tires ,so how do we go about selecting the slip angles for the inner and outer tires to construct our steering geometry.Also, how do we find the rear slip angles and hence the cornering stiffness
