Comparing Tire Data
Comparing the force and moment characteristics of two sets of tire data is an important task. It is important for tire manufacturers and also for vehicle dynamicists. Differences between the sets of data could include:
Lateral thinking on tyre load variations
A seven post rig is all well and good but when it comes to lateral and longitudinal tyre loads OptimumG engineer Claude Rouelle believes there’s a need for a fresh approach.
Linear or non-linear – that is the question!
Among all the topics discussed during the Vehicle Dynamics and Control Seminar hosted in Cambridge last year, there was one issue the delegates seemed unable to agree upon. The handling limits of virtually all road vehicles are dictated by the tires, how much force...
