This gives us the forces:
Worst Case Loading (N) Conditions | Fx at CP | Fx at UCA node | Fz at CP | Fz at UCA node |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Braking & Cornering Inner (inside front wheel) | 1775 | 592 | 1672 | 558 |
Braking & Cornering Outer (outside front wheel) | -3550 | -1183 | 1672 | 558 |
We can use these forces to find the tensile/compressive forces in the arms of the UCA.
...
Solving for the system of equations that arises, we get
Inner | Outer | ||
|---|---|---|---|
FAB[compressive] | FAC[tensile] | FAB[tensile] | FAC[compressive] |
471.5N | 1075.5N | 1847.7N | 1243.7N |
To get the forces on the chassis bar through the clevises, we can resolve these forces into the X and Z directions.
