Steering Analysis
- Devon Copeland
Owned by Devon Copeland
Task:
Analyze the steering geometry on MSXI and determine how the design can be improved. Some things to focus on in particular include:
- Ackerman steering
- Toe
- Turning radius
- Caster
- Camber
Come up with an improved design that can be worked into MSXI without significant rework to the suspension.
Some resources for getting started:
- Video: Rack and pinion steering
- Video: Ackerman steering
- Video: Camber
- Video: Axis inclination
- Book: Race Car Vehicle Dynamics *steering starts on page 709
