FAQs on Rear Lateral Load Transfer

What is the formula to find Rear Lateral Load Transfer?
The formula of Rear Lateral Load Transfer is expressed as Rear Lateral Load Transfer = Lateral Acceleration/[g]*Mass of Vehicle/Rear Track Width*Centre of Gravity Distance to Roll Axis*Rear Roll Rate/(Front Roll Rate+Rear Roll Rate)+Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Front Axle/Wheelbase of Vehicle*Rear Roll Centre Height. Here is an example- 162.2953 = 9.81/[g]*155/1.4*3.4907*67800/(94900+67800)+27/2.7*0.0762.
How to calculate Rear Lateral Load Transfer?
With Lateral Acceleration (Ay), Mass of Vehicle (m), Rear Track Width (tr), Centre of Gravity Distance to Roll Axis (H), Rear Roll Rate (KΦr), Front Roll Rate (KΦf), Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Front Axle (a), Wheelbase of Vehicle (b) & Rear Roll Centre Height (Zrr) we can find Rear Lateral Load Transfer using the formula - Rear Lateral Load Transfer = Lateral Acceleration/[g]*Mass of Vehicle/Rear Track Width*Centre of Gravity Distance to Roll Axis*Rear Roll Rate/(Front Roll Rate+Rear Roll Rate)+Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Front Axle/Wheelbase of Vehicle*Rear Roll Centre Height. This formula also uses Gravitational acceleration on Earth constant(s).
