TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - A study of the effect of rear suspension auxiliary roll damping on vehicle-handling dynamics JO - Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of automobile engineering A1 - Uzunsoy, E. A1 - Olatunbosun, O. A. SP - 21 EP - 30 VL - 219 IS - 1 N2 - The handling dynamics of a University of Birmingham Racing Formula Student racing car, incorporating a novel rear suspension load transfer system which provides auxiliary roll damping, is modelled using a simulation tool, HANDSIM, developed for vehicle-handling studies, and the effect of the system on the vehicle's handling performance is discussed by considering the results obtained from the simulation. The aim of implementing this suspension load transfer system is to improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle in severe cornering manoeuvres.
