Painonsiirtoa
Painonsiirto is a Finnish term describing the transfer of load or weight from one support point to another as a result of movement or acceleration. It refers to how the vertical load carried by contact surfaces changes when a body or vehicle experiences forces such as gravity, braking, acceleration, or turning. The phenomenon arises from the position of the center of gravity relative to the supports and is influenced by factors such as mass, height of the center of gravity, and the geometry of the contact points.
In vehicle dynamics, painonsiirto occurs in longitudinal and lateral directions. Longitudinal weight transfer moves load between
In sports and biomechanics, painonsiirto describes intentional or natural weight shifting to improve balance, propulsion, or
In engineering and design, understanding painonsiirto informs the sizing and layout of structures, suspensions, and supports
