A theoretical study of the effects of wheelbase and vehicle length upon the lateral stability of four-wheeled vehicles with U.I.C. double-link suspension (TN-DYN-074)

The lateral stability of four example vehicles has been studied. Parameter variations have included empty and full load conditions, wheelbases 10 ft (3.05m) to 25 ft (7.62m) and effective conicities of 0.05 to 0.30. It was found that in no case did the lateral suspension damping provided completely eliminate body...
