Rolling radius is the effective radius of the tire when the tire is rotating and moving forward on the ground . The value of rolling radius can be calculated either using the wheel forward & wheel angular velocity or by measuring the distance traveled as a function of wheel revolution.
The vehicle turns because of applied Lateral tire forces . While turning the tire experience a centrifugal or inertial force, which lead to the deformation of tire tread at bottom contact patch and their is the generation of forces and moments.
In this Blog, We discuss suspension geometry and its kinematics. The key topics covered in this Blog include degrees of freedom, kinematics of suspension geometry, instant center, instant access, jacking, roll center, camber change rate, and Scrub of wheel.
This Blog is about toe and dual access steering systems, we will discuss what angle is and how toe affects the handling characteristics of a vehicle. What is thrust angle and what is dual axis steering system and how it works.
