Calculation of roll stiffness due to road springs<br />

provides the basis for a calculation of the road spring contribution for the<br />

simplified arrangement shown. In this case the inclination of the road<br />

springs is ignored and have a separation across the vehicle given by L s .<br />

As the vehicle rolls through an angle the springs on each side are deformed<br />

with a displacement s given by<br />

s L s /2 (6.4)<br />

The forces generated in the springs F s produce an equivalent roll moment<br />
