Curved Beam Vehicle Suspension: MathCAD Appendix RGL - 10/28/
As there are no applied moments, we utilize equation 10.10 in Burr (Chapter 10). Find each of
the deflections in the x (horizontal) and z (vertical) directions. Assume Fx and Fz are applied.
First, the moment in the y direction is,
y
z
⋅ rsin φ ( ) ⋅ F x
⋅r 1 cos φ ( ) − ( ) = − ⋅
Now, apply equation 10.10 to each deflection:
