Wheel Centre Rate in Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Formulas

Wheel Centre Rate is the vertical force acting on the tire per unit vertical displacement at the location along the spindle corresponding to the wheel centerline, measured relative to the chassis. And is denoted by K_w. Wheel Centre Rate is usually measured using the Newton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Wheel Centre Rate is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Wheel Centre Rate?

Wheel Centre Rate is the vertical force acting on the tire per unit vertical displacement at the location along the spindle corresponding to the wheel centerline, measured relative to the chassis. Wheel Centre Rate is usually measured using the Newton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Wheel Centre Rate is always positive.

Can the Wheel Centre Rate be negative?

No, the Wheel Centre Rate, measured in Surface Tension cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Wheel Centre Rate?

Wheel Centre Rate is usually measured using the Newton per Meter[N/m] for Surface Tension. Millinewton per Meter[N/m], Gram-Force per Centimeter[N/m], Dyne per Centimeter[N/m] are the few other units in which Wheel Centre Rate can be measured.
