Re: Weber 48 IDA - Show me your linkages

Doc-
Looks very interesting, and I'd be interested. Could it be used for experimenting with suspension geometry too?

Re: Weber 48 IDA - Show me your linkages

John,

I was thinking that myself actually, and with a little more work I could work out all the geometry of the suspension. I would then probably go to far and use a genetic algorithm to optimise the suspension.... finally a use for my PhD.....

Re: Weber 48 IDA - Show me your linkages

Sounds like it would make a good class project for Mech. Eng. students, if you teach. When I was a Junior (back in the day), we tried something like that for aircraft landing gear using an analog computer. Wasted enough graph paper to repopulate a forest and never did get it right. Don't mean to go off-topic, so PM me if you get it working- I'm curious how you go about optimizing with non-linear components and variables.

I found this some time ago, it may be of some use to you fellows:
