Episode Synopsis

As our Vehicle Dynamics Insights series returns for Episode 2 to focus on the widely discussed and debated topic of roll centres, we are joined again by expert dynamicist Mike Law.

In this episode, we explore the influence of the roll centre on a race car's dynamics and discuss the considerations engineers will have in deciding where to place the roll centre, including some clever tricks which can be used to introduce some complex behaviours to find performance where we need it.

Enjoy!

Mike has a book published called "Ace Thinking" which takes the skills and experience he's gained developing race cars to create a framework for approaching tasks, engineering and otherwise.

Many of the approaches to problems you hear in these episodes are communicated in the book, which you can find on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ACE-Thinking-Lessons-Engineering-Ultimate/dp/B0BDXFMGPR

All proceeds from the book go towards the Small Piece Trust.
