Single Bump Wheel Rate

Vertical spring rate of the suspension relative to the body, measured at the wheel center due to motion of the wheel.

Computed by:

SVCRAT

Input Variables Used:

Front and rear compliance matrices

Method:

SVC computes single bump wheel rate as the inverse of the z-axis displacement at the wheel center due to the vertical force applied at the wheel center.
Left = 1 / C( 3,3 )
Right = 1 / C( 9,9 )
