  2. Slip (vehicle dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(vehicle_dynamics)

    In (automotive) vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed (usually described as percent slip), or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of motion (referred to as slip angle).

  3. Slip ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ratio

    Slip ratio is a means of calculating and expressing the slipping behavior of the wheel of an automobile.It is of fundamental importance in the field of vehicle dynamics, as it allows to understand the relationship between the deformation of the tire and the longitudinal forces (i.e. the forces responsible for forward acceleration and braking) acting upon it.

  4. Understeer and oversteer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer_and_oversteer

    If the lateral and longitudinal forces presented at the tyre during operations exceeds the tyre's available traction force then the tyre is said to be saturated and will loose its grip on the ground and start to slip. Push (plow) can be understood as a condition where, while cornering, the front tyres become saturated before the rear and slip ...

  5. Stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiffness

    Stiffness is the extent to which an object resists deformation in response to an applied force. [ 1 ] The complementary concept is flexibility or pliability: the more flexible an object is, the less stiff it is.

  6. Cornering force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_force

    'Deflected' tread path, sideslip velocity and slip angle Graph of cornering force vs slip angle. Cornering force or side force is the lateral (i.e., parallel to wheel axis) force produced by a vehicle tire during cornering. [1] Cornering force is generated by tire slip and is proportional to slip angle at low slip angles.

  7. Road slipperiness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_slipperiness

    A surface friction tester, used to measure road slipperiness. Road slipperiness is a condition of low skid resistance due to insufficient road friction. It is a result of snow, ice, water, loose material and the texture of the road surface on the traction produced by the wheels of a vehicle.

  9. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    That is, perpendicular to the longitudinal stability axis. At low angles of attack, the lift is generated primarily by the wings, fins and the nose region of the body. The total lift acts at a distance x c p {\displaystyle x_{cp}} ahead of the centre of gravity (it has a negative value in the figure), this, in missile parlance, is the centre of ...
