to address some possible disadvantage for this kind of heave spring, you have to be careful if you are using nonlinear motion ratio for your dampers/rockers. using nonlinear motion ratio with a T-bar type heave spring can result in higher roll stiffness, because the T-bar will not just rotate about the vertical axis but also pivot about the lateral axis resulting in compression of the heave spring in roll. Also your single wheel bump stiffness will increase, which may not be a problem for relatively smooth track surface on most of the permanent race tracks. but ie. for hillclimb cars, higher bump stiffness may cost you more performance that you gain with aero. in some cases it may be better to minimize your contact patch load variation than adding loads of downforce to the car, it depends mostly on the tyres you are using

I was just thinking that in the first example, the suspension doesn't really have independent movement. A pump in one wheel forces the other wheel down. Driving on uneven surfaces or taking a lot of curbs, I feel like this antiroll bar T-bar thing may not be the best option.

FWIW heave springs aren't by any means limited to cars with inboard suspension setups, for example the McLaren 12C/650S road car uses a Z-bar type heave spring at the rear. It acts similarly to a rollbar, but since it's Z-shaped instead of U-shaped, it only acts when both sides are compressed (so for both squatting and heave in this case).

10:19 El tercer conjunto muelle-amortiguador sirve para limitar la altura mínima del eje, es decir, evita que el eje baje más allá de cierto punto, además contrarresta el efecto de la barra estabilizadora en línea recta, por lo que se puede emplear una barra estabilizadora mucho más rígida. Los conjuntos muelle-amortiguador no van unidos a los brazos de la suspensión directamente, sino a través de un "bell crank", de esta manera pasan a ser masa suspendida y se logra una disminución de la masa no suspendida con la consiguiente mejora en comodidad y rendimiento. Los 2 conjuntos muelle-amortiguador han de estar un poco más verticales (como en el Ferrari Purosangue) posición diagonal y no completamente horizontal, de esta manera podremos emplear una idea similar al sistema de amortiguadores TrueActive de Multimatic de Ferrari. Si bien es verdad que seguimos manteniendo el fluido magnetoreológico en contraposición a el mecanismo de orificios variables que tiene este sistema, la idea que copiamos es la tuerca y el perno de baja fricción que permiten retraer o expandir el eje del amortiguador, para levantar o bajar cada una de las 4 esquinas del coche de forma independiente y mucho más rapido que una suspensión neumática. Para poder implementar esta idea los 2 amortiguadores deben estar en diagonal, ni completamente horizontal, ni completamente vertical.

Remarkable to see in my lifetime the changes with suspension systems on open-wheel racers. Look back at some of the F1 cars of the 1960s, such as McLaren M7A, where it had exposed coil springs in the front and rear suspension. Car builders back then, such as Colin Chapman for Lotus and Dan Gurney with AAR Eagle seemed better aware of the aero drag of exposed coil springs; where they had the font suspension coil springs mounted inboard with their F1 racers.

Thanks for this great video - I am at the early stages of designing my own Exo road/track day car. I plan to have some wing and "ground effect" floor in the car. I was wondering if it is worth me using this T bar set up or is it only really any use with cars with large amounts of down force? If it would be good how do I work out the spring/damping for the T bar, also what size bar should the T bar be? Or is flattened tube an option so I can rotate it to change the amount of force needed to bend it (a bit like the chassis bars used on karts). Also does this system mean the suspension has an amount of anti-dive on the brakes?
@eddyg4742
@eddyg4742 3 жыл бұрын
One important thing to note as well is that heave spring makes the anti roll Bar less effective. When the car is rolling the ARB now has to work harder fighting the heave spring to lift the other wheel. So heave spring stiffness increase must also be accompanied by ARB stiffness increase to compensate.

I don't think that's true. You could lock the heave spring assembly, reduce the roll torsion spring stiffness to zero and roll the car side to side by hand. They're independent as far as i can tell.

Maybe I missed it but it wasn’t clear to me how the heave setup you showed allowed for independent adjustment of heave and pitch. It seemed to me to be a heave/pitch sdu. Are there setups with independent spring/dampers for heave and pitch? Is there any benefit for that? I imagine an independent heave setup would necessitate a front and rear interconnect of some sort. Is that the case? Cool video! Thanks!

I have a topic for you. You are right downforce increases with the square of the velocity for traditional wing elements, but for ground-effect cars, downforce also varies with the height of the car's skirt, even at a constant speed. Your thoughts? Personally, I think this is the origin of the current porpoising problem.

yes it would. It's only connected to the one axle so if both wheels move in the same direction the heave system comes into play. As you noted, yes this could help prevent bottoming out. All of this design should become even more important for F1 cars in 2022 due to the move to 18" wheels and lower profile tires. Meaning that less of the suspension travel will be made up but the tires squishing.

If it's so rigid that it doesn't twist, as one wheel lifts 2", the lateral member of the T-bar moves straight back and the other wheel will lift 2" as well, compressing the heave spring.

There’s different valving designs. One style uses discs as the valve. Small bumps don’t deflect the disc as much so the shock can stay stiffer, large bumps deflect the disc more so it softens the shock. A different style can use different orifices so the stiffness of the shock can change over its travel. Those are more common in offroad racing where you’ll want a shock that lands good from a jump at full extension, but also does good over bumps in the middle of travel. Shocks become magic and are pretty complicated for something that is also simple.

Because, if one wheel moves up, the other wheel moves down… so, the only tendency to resist roll is due to the torsional resistance? Couldn’t this be improved by arranging the levers in a way where mechanical arrangement and forces support anti-roll?

No because the T-bar is pivoted in below and therefor not in fixed state where it pushes that T-bar other direction on the other end. When one wheel is pushed up that side of T-bars upper end is moving forward and it's torsion spring tries to fight it back and same time it moves the other end of that upper side of T-bar forward and thus tries to level other wheel upwards. Just like antirollbar. Don't know if this is in any undestandable form since my english isn't the greatest (not my native language). Edit: That animation without third shock was kinda bad because it didn't show that torsionbar moving back and forth and twisting under load.

Yeah, that'd be an interesting thing... The one solution I can think of, off the top of my head, is a Z-bar type system that connects the front and the rear suspensions' heave modes... Basically you'd have a Z-shaped bar (very much like a traditional anti-roll bar, except that when one end moves up, the other goes down) that's connected to the heave modes of the suspension at the front and the rear. In pitch, when both front corners compress, it pulls up on one end of the Z-bar, which pushes the end that's attached to the rear down, all in all not really affecting pitch (at least if the linkages are designed properly...), and in squat the reverse happens. But in full four corner heave, both ends want to go up, which bends the Z-bar and makes it act as a spring.
@TheDamian58c
@TheDamian58c 3 жыл бұрын
@@jubuttib Yeah, that could be a solution, but I wonder what kind of solution is actually used in cars like F1, if it's used at all. I can see some problems with the solution you commented about (if I understood it correctly), like the stiffness of the bar and ergonomics of its connections to the suspensions and the chassis of the vehicle (I understand it being a z shaped beam where its ends are connected to the front and rear suspensions, and that there's a pivot point connected to the chassis). If I'm not mistaken, I think I've heard of a hydraulic system connecting suspension rods of each wheel together, and controlling pitch, roll, heave and warp parameters with valves. Of course that kind of system has complications of its own. Other than that, I can think of a cord system, which would connect to each wheel's suspension to each other, and each cord would have a spring which would control either the pitch, warp, heave or roll characteristics, depending on which wheels is the cord connected to. I'm kinda disappointed that the video actually discusses pitch springs rather than heave ones, there would actually have to be something connecting front and rear suspensions, and that something would need a spring, for it to be an actual heave spring.

@@TheDamian58c I think F1 uses something akin to what was in the video, pretty sure they do "heave" via having 3rd springs front and rear. I haven't heard of any cars IRL that would have a fully separate four wheel heave system, beyond MAYBE something like the inter and cross connected hydraulic system of some McLaren road cars... I don't think the added complexity and weight is worth it for most racing applications. It is an interesting thought however. Also FWIW I do work with vehicle simulations, and have had to look up lots of different suspension layouts over the years. Not saying that I know everything (FAR from it) but I have had a gander at a fair few.

In summary, if I understand correctly, you would want to bottom out the heave spring a little before the corner springs bottom out, for purpose of ride height control.

This was really cool to learn about but there's still one thing that's puzzling me. How would a team set up a non linear spring so that its got linear motion up to around 150kps, then suddenly drops 2-3 inches then goes back to linear motion like what was on the Mercedes in 2021. I just cant get my head around how you can get a traditional spring or torsion bar or react like that.

What about heave vs pitch? I guess there's no way to distinguish them without some front to rear connection, but maybe I'm missing something.

No, you're right. You need a front-rear connection for that. You could use an anti-roll bar type setup, except oriented sideways to connect the front and rear, or do it hydraulically like some F1 cars did before it was banned.

I remember Gordon Murray saying that that to much downforce leads to a stiff suspension on road cars. I always thought there has to be a solution to that.

Hydropneumatic spring-less system with self levelling and linear spring rate would be far superior...retaining perfect ride height and mechanical grip without compromise.

Active suspension would be even better (pure hydraulic) and it was us in formula 1 in early 90, before it was banned. I do not know why in non restricted series is not used now, electric moved long way in last 30 years so making active suspension now is trivial thing.

@@truthseeker8483 I know what is it, I even drow car with it like 25 years ago. But problem in it is gas, you do not want not controlled spring that why in f1 they did not use it even on road car it is in use from early 1950.
