Lateral bump stop mechanism geometry and forces (IM-SUS-131)

Last updated on 06 December 2013 11:24

The APT suspensions are based' on the 'Bing' geometry, whereby quasi-static displacements of the lateral suspensions are linearly related to the angles of active body tilt on curves. This coupling arises because the lateral suspension lies below the tilt suspension and is thereby exposed to unbalanced centrifugal forces (cant deficiency...
