Before the propeller heads strike, let me just give you some free advice:

1) Google drive will allow you to share this type of file. Get a GMail I.D.

2) You will need to join the TTC (Tire Test Consortium) and buy into the tire data for a specific tire(s) your team is considering. I show an example of how to get tire Fz spring rates from the TTC data.
There is also a way to get tire damping values from these tests but it seems to be a lost science. The people who proved the Earth was not flat ran similar tire test procedures and have published their work using special machines called 'typewriters' .

3) The 5% rule may not be to your liking because the tires are so load sensitive (They actually Like load). If the FSAE tires had a Facebook Marketplace page, you could "Like" them. ("What color are the tyres". "Do you still have it", " Interested" ==> typical interactions from the Faceplant social network).

4) There is a thread on a recent Eng-Tips Suspension Forum that discusses the TLLTD issue.

5) Do your own analysis of the loads and load distribution(s) necessary to achieve a flat ride at some speed and a stable yet 'quick' turning car. Your thesis will get you a high paying job in an industry of your choice.

6) Modeling time: What software tools do you have available ? What lab test equipment is around to validate your modeling efforts ? Can you build a Mule car to evaluate your results ?

7) How are you at Broomball ? That's also a Team Effort.90112054.jpg Ask these folks to help you.
