  2. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body (such as a ball, tire, or wheel) rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects; that is, not all the energy needed for deformation (or movement) of the wheel, roadbed, etc., is recovered when the pressure is removed.

  3. SAE J2452 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J2452

    SAE J1269 and SAE J2452 performed on new tires. SAE J2452 is a standard defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers [1] to measure the rolling resistance of tires. [2] Where the older standard, SAE J1269, produces measurements of rolling resistance under steady-state (i.e. thermally equilibrated) operating conditions, SAE J2452 produces measurements during a transient history of speed that ...

  4. Low rolling resistance tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_rolling_resistance_tire

    The rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) indicates the amount of force required to overcome the hysteresis of the material as the tire rolls. Tire pressure, vehicle weight and velocity all play a role in how much force is lost to rolling resistance. The basic model equation for SAE J2452 is: Rolling Resistance (N / lbs) = (+ +) where: is the ...

  5. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Rolling resistance is the force that resists the rolling of a wheel or other circular object along a surface caused by deformations in the object or surface. Generally the force of rolling resistance is less than that associated with kinetic friction. [74] Typical values for the coefficient of rolling resistance are 0.001. [75]

  6. SAE J1269 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1269

    SAE J1269 is a standard test defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers [1] to measure the rolling resistance of tires under conditions of thermal equilibrium. [2] [3] SAE J2452 is an alternative procedure for measuring rolling resistance under conditions similar to a vehicle coastdown event, where the tire is in a roughly isothermal condition (but not thermal equilibrium).

  7. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

    Force variation axes. Tire forces are divided into three axes: radial, lateral, and tangential (or fore-aft). The radial axis runs from the tire center toward the tread, and is the vertical axis running from the roadway through the tire center toward the vehicle.

  9. Curve resistance (railroad) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_resistance_(railroad)

    For example, in the USSR, the standard formula is Wr (curve resistance in parts per thousand or kgf/tonne) = 700/R where R is the radius of the curve in meters. Other countries often use the same formula, but with a different numerator-constant. For example, the US used 446/R, Italy 800/R, England 600/R, China 573/R, etc.
