general questions I have to outline research:
- why are tapered roller bearings and angular contact bearings really common for fsae unsprung systems? is this something that could be transferrable to solar cars?
- is it important for us to be able to withstand thrust and radial loads at the same time?
- how does this change bearing calculations?
- step down? (ie. having a larger outer-board bearing but a smaller inner-board bearing) This could save space and save weight, but how does this affect loads?
- designing fixtures/figuring out tolerances for specific bearings? how should bearings be retained?
- how important is surface contact consideration/materials?
- bearings prevent metal/metal contact, reducing friction, heat, and wear.
- What is the best wag to reduce rolling resistance?
- what is bearing hysteresis?
- calculating dynamic loads?
