Could someone please explain if porpoising is influenced by the car`s mass distribution, by the centre of pressure, by the centre of gravity or a combination of all 3 and maybe much more factors than those above mentioned ... Thanks in advance!
In boats porpoising happens because too much weight in the back, so you use trim tabs, or put passengers in the front to keep the boat level. I feel that there's several factors involved as you say, more than 3, and all contribute to the effect.
I don't think that the problem can be fully solved, but it can be mitigated enough that it won't affect reliability or driver confidence. I
think a big part of the solution is minimizing the amplitude of the waves.
