The characteristics of ground vehicle ‫كلية تكنولوجيا الصناعة والطاقة‬

The characteristics of ground vehicle describe in terms :-

1. Handling qualities are concerned with the response of the vehicle to the
driver’s commands and its ability to stabilize its motion against external
disturbance.

2. Performance characteristics refer to the ability of the vehicle to accelerate, to


develop drawbar pull, to overcome obstacles, and to decelerate.

3. Ride characteristics are related to the vibration of the vehicle excited by


surface irregularities and its effects on passengers and goods.

Introduction
Tire forces & Moments ‫كلية تكنولوجيا الصناعة والطاقة‬

The force system at the tire contact is


described by three forces and moments of
the reaction of the road on the tire with
respect to the tire axis system
Tire forces & Moments ‫كلية تكنولوجيا الصناعة والطاقة‬

It is enough to remember that a vehicle can maneuver only by


longitudinal, vertical, and lateral force systems generated under
the tires.
Tire forces & Moments ‫كلية تكنولوجيا الصناعة والطاقة‬

1. Longitudinal force Fx. It is a force acting along the x-axis. The resultant
longitudinal force Fx > 0 if the car is accelerating, and Fx < 0 if the car is braking.
Longitudinal force is also called forward force.

2. Normal force Fz . It is a vertical force, normal to the ground plane.


The resultant normal force Fz > 0 if it is upward. Normal force is
also called vertical force or wheel load.

3. Lateral force Fy . It is a force, tangent to the ground and orthogonal


to both Fx and Fz . The resultant lateral force Fy > 0 if it is in the
y-direction.

4. Roll moment Mx. It is a longitudinal moment about the x-axis. The resultant
roll moment Mx > 0 if it tends to turn the tire about the x-axis. The roll moment is
also called the bank moment, or overturning moment.

5. Pitch moment My. It is a lateral moment about the y-axis. The resultant pitch
moment My > 0 if it tends to turn the tire about the y-axis and move forward. The
pitch moment is also called rolling resistance torque.

6. Yaw moment Mz. It is an upward moment about the z-axis. The resultant yaw
moment Mz > 0 if it tends to turn the tire about the z-axis. The yaw moment is
also called the aligning moment, or self aligning moment

The moment applied to the tire from the vehicle


about the tire axis is called wheel torque T .
