2. Slip angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_angle

   The ratios between the slip angles of the front and rear axles (a function of the slip angles of the front and rear tires respectively) will determine the vehicle's behavior in a given turn. If the ratio of front to rear slip angles is greater than 1:1, the vehicle will tend to understeer, while a ratio of less than 1:1 will produce oversteer. [2]

3. 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).

4. Cornering force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_force

   The diagram is misleading because the reaction force would appear to be acting in the wrong direction. It is simply a matter of convention to quote positive cornering force as acting in the opposite direction to positive tire slip so that calculations are simplified, since a vehicle cornering under the influence of a cornering force to the left ...

5. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

   Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.

6. 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.

7. Circle of forces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_forces

   Drag of this kind is an unavoidable consequence of the mechanism of slip, by which the tire generates lateral force. The diameter of the circle of forces, and therefore the maximum horizontal force that the tire can generate, depends upon many factors, including the design of the tire and its condition (age and temperature, for example), the ...
