Wheel rate given Roll rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wheel rate of vehicle = (2*Roll rate/ Roll stiffness)/Track Width of Vehicle^2
Kt = (2*KΦ)/a^2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Wheel rate of vehicle - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Wheel rate of vehicle is effectively the spring rate when measured at the wheel as opposed to at the spring.
Roll rate/ Roll stiffness - (Measured in Newton Meter per Radian) - Roll rate/ Roll stiffness is the resistance moment generated per unit of roll angle of the sprung mass, and it has SI units of Nm/rad.
Track Width of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Track Width of Vehicle is the distance between the center line of each of the two wheels on the same axle (front/rear axle).
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Roll rate/ Roll stiffness: 40000 Newton Meter per Radian --> 40000 Newton Meter per Radian No Conversion Required
Track Width of Vehicle: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Kt = (2*KΦ)/a^2 --> (2*40000)/1.2^2
Evaluating ... ...
Kt = 55555.5555555556
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
55555.5555555556 Newton per Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
55555.5555555556 55555.56 Newton per Meter <-- Wheel rate of vehicle

Height of Center of Gravity of Vehicle by method of jacking Vehicle from Rear
Go Height of Center of gravity (C.G.) of vehicle = (Loaded radius of front wheels*(Horizontal distance of C.G. From rear axle/Wheelbase of Vehicle))+(Loaded radius of rear wheels*(Horizontal distance of C.G. From rear axle/Wheelbase of Vehicle))+(((Weight of front wheels with rear elevated*Wheelbase of Vehicle)-(Mass of vehicle*Horizontal distance of C.G. From rear axle))/(Mass of vehicle*tan(Angle through which rear axle of vehicle raised)))
Spring rate required for coilover given desired droop and motion ratio
Go Stiffness of Spring = Corner sprung mass of vehicle*Acceleration due to Gravity/(Motion ratio in suspension*Wheel travel*cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical))
Spring rate provided Wheel rate
Go Stiffness of Spring = Wheel rate of vehicle/(((Motion ratio in suspension)^2)*(cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical)))
Installation Ratio given Wheel Rate
Go Installation ratio = sqrt(Wheel rate of vehicle/(Spring rate*cos(Damper angle from vertical)))
Damper angle from Vertical given wheel rate
Go Damper angle from vertical = acos(Wheel rate of vehicle/(Spring rate*(Installation ratio^2)))
Spring rate given wheel rate
Go Spring rate = Wheel rate of vehicle/((Installation ratio^2)*cos(Damper angle from vertical))
Wheel rate
Go Wheel rate of vehicle = Spring rate*(Installation ratio^2)*cos(Damper angle from vertical)
Wheel rate in vehicle
Go Wheel rate of vehicle = Stiffness of Spring*((Motion ratio in suspension)^2)*(Spring angle correction factor)
Track Width of Vehicle given Wheel rate and Roll rate
Go Track Width of Vehicle = sqrt((2*Roll rate/ Roll stiffness)/Wheel rate of vehicle)
Spring angle correction factor
Go Spring angle correction factor = cos(Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical)
Roll rate or Roll stiffness
Go Roll rate/ Roll stiffness = ((Track Width of Vehicle^2)*Wheel rate of vehicle)/2
Wheel rate given Roll rate
Go Wheel rate of vehicle = (2*Roll rate/ Roll stiffness)/Track Width of Vehicle^2

Wheel rate given Roll rate Formula

Wheel rate of vehicle = (2*Roll rate/ Roll stiffness)/Track Width of Vehicle^2
Kt = (2*KΦ)/a^2

All about Wheel rate of vehicle

Wheel rate is effectively the spring rate when measured at the wheel as opposed to at the spring. It is important to understand the wheel rate of a vehicle for calculating the spring rates and understanding the car dynamically. Wheel Rate is the effective spring rate at the wheel, due to the leverage advantage the wheel has with respect to the spring on the control arm.
