  2. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    SUA resolutions include applying the brakes or clutch, or shifting into neutral with an automatic transmission. [ 72 ] [ 73 ] [ 3 ] In most cars, fully applied brakes are easily capable of stopping the car while the accelerator pedal is also fully applied. [ 17 ] "

  4. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    Figure 1 Hard wheel rolling on and deforming a soft surface, resulting in the reaction force R from the surface having a component that opposes the motion. (W is some vertical load on the axle, F is some towing force applied to the axle, r is the wheel radius, and both friction with the ground and friction at the axle are assumed to be negligible and so are not shown.

  5. Transmission brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_brake

    The transmission brake is the yellow drum, to the right rear of the transfer box. A transmission brake or driveline parking brake is an inboard vehicle brake that is applied to the drivetrain rather than to the wheels. Historically, some early cars used transmission brakes as the normal driving brake and often had wheel brakes on only one axle ...

  6. Tractive effort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractive_effort

    The term tractive effort is often qualified as starting tractive effort, continuous tractive effort and maximum tractive effort.These terms apply to different operating conditions, but are related by common mechanical factors: input torque to the driving wheels, the wheel diameter, coefficient of friction (μ) between the driving wheels and supporting surface, and the weight applied to the ...

  7. Traction (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(mechanics)

    a physical process in which a tangential force is transmitted across an interface between two bodies through dry friction or an intervening fluid film resulting in motion, stoppage or the transmission of power.

    Multiple cars were damaged from the concrete and transmission fluid, the latter of which had reportedly been stolen from a local business. The following men were arrested: Mason Stone, 19.

  9. Torque converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

    For example, in an automobile, this stage of operation would occur when the driver has placed the transmission in gear but is preventing the vehicle from moving by continuing to apply the brakes. At stall, the torque converter can produce maximum torque multiplication if sufficient input power is applied (the resulting multiplication is called ...
