Parasitic yaw stiffness associated with inclined swing-links (IM-APT-247)

Last updated on 24 July 2014 4:10
Inclining the swing-links in the pitch plane offers a spatial advantage over vertical swing links, so permitting a more compact arrangement of vertical suspension jacks at the four corners of the suspension frame. However, inclined swing-links cause coupling between yaw displacements of the suspension frame and relative roll between the...
