2. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

   Ackermann geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii. It was invented by the German carriage builder Georg Lankensperger in Munich in 1816 ...

3. Steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

   Steering. Steering is the control of the direction of motion [ 1 ] or the components that enable its control. [ 2 ] Steering is achieved through various arrangements, among them ailerons for airplanes, rudders for boats, cylic tilting of rotors for helicopters, [ 3 ] and many more.

4. Understeer and oversteer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer_and_oversteer

   Understeer and oversteer are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of the vehicle to changes in steering angle associated with changes in lateral acceleration. This sensitivity is defined for a level road for a given steady state operating condition by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in document J670 [1] and by the ...

5. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_(automotive)

   In automotive engineering, toe, also known as tracking, [1] is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects. This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel ...

6. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

   Steering motions included "balance", in which both wheels move together to steer the tire contacts under the center of mass; and "true circle", in which the wheels steer equally in opposite directions and thus steering the bicycle without substantially changing the lateral position of the tire contacts relative to the center of mass.

7. Steering knuckle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle

   Steering knuckle. In automotive suspension, a steering knuckle or upright is that part which contains the wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension and steering components. [1] The terms spindle and hub are sometimes used interchangeably with steering knuckle, but refer to different parts. The wheel and tire assembly attach to the ...
