How to Calculate Understeer Gradient?
Understeer Gradient calculator uses Understeer Gradient = (Load on Front Axle at High Speed Cornering/(Acceleration due to Gravity*Cornering Stiffness of Front Wheels))-(Load on Rear Axle at High Speed Cornering/(Acceleration due to Gravity*Cornering Stiffness of Rear Wheels)) to calculate the Understeer Gradient, The Understeer gradient formula is defined as the tendency for a vehicle to require more or less steering input relative to the Ackermann steer angle is a measure of under steer. The gain due to lateral acceleration is the understeer gradient. Understeer Gradient is denoted by K symbol.
How to calculate Understeer Gradient using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Understeer Gradient, enter Load on Front Axle at High Speed Cornering (Wfl), Acceleration due to Gravity (g), Cornering Stiffness of Front Wheels (Caf), Load on Rear Axle at High Speed Cornering (Wr) & Cornering Stiffness of Rear Wheels (Cαr) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Understeer Gradient calculation can be explained with given input values -> 717.8148 = (9000/(9.8*40))-(7800/(9.8*35)).
