Friction Modeling of a Free-spinning Bicycle Wheel
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment is conducted in which a free-standing bicycle wheel is given an initial angular speed and then allowed to slow down to rest. Measurements of the wheel speed, using a magnetic sensor, during the decay are compared to predictions from a model accounting for a combination of viscous and dry friction at the wheel bearing. The time history data indicate two dynamic regimes: (i) a higher speed phase corresponding to the first part of the motion for which a simple viscous friction model applies, and (ii) a slower speed phase corresponding to low speed to stop behavior for which a model involving both viscous and dry friction is proposed. A method is presented for finding the viscous and dry friction coefficients of the two phases.

Identification of Wheel Spinning Cases while Learning and Retaining a Skill in Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Wheel Spinning, by definition [1] means a situation where in the students may not reach mastery in reasonable amount of time. The Wheel Spinning is unproductive and may lead to frustrating experience to some students, in particular dyslexics, since they have difficulty in memorizing and thinking skills. If the wheel spinning can be identified early, then they may be offered some other mode of i...
متن کاملOptimal Planning and Control for Hazard Avoidance of Front-Wheel Steered Ground Vehicles
Hazard avoidance is an important capability for safe operation of robotic vehicles at high speed. It is also an important consideration for passenger vehicle safety, as thousands are killed each year in passenger vehicle accidents caused by driver error. Even when hazard locations are known, high-speed hazard avoidance presents challenges in real-time motion planning and control of nonlinear an...
متن کاملBalanced Motions Realization for a Mechanical Regulators Free and Front-Wheel Drive Bicycle Robot Under Zero Forward Speed
This paper focuses on a mechanical regulator free and front‐ wheel drive bicycle robot. We present a scheme to achieve the robotʹs track‐stand motion and circular motion under zero forward speed. In a situation where the robotʹs front‐bar is locked at 90 degrees, a kinetic constraint about the rotating rate of the front‐wheel and the yawing rate of the frame is...
متن کاملConstrained Nonlinear Estimation of Road Friction Coefficient and Wheel Slip for Control of Anti-Lock Braking System
In designing the anti-lock braking system (ABS), some states and parameters of vehicle system such as road friction of coefficient and wheel slip should be estimated due to lack of cost effective and reliable sensors for direct measurement. Because of nonlinear characteristics of vehicle dynamics and tire forces, development of a nonlinear estimation algorithm is necessary. However, considerati...
متن کاملTractrices, Bicycle Tire Tracks, Hatchet Planimeters, and a 100-year-old Conjecture
The geometry of the tracks left by a bicycle has received much attention recently [9, 10, 11, 18, 20, 27]. In this paper we discuss the connection between the motion of a bicycle and that of a curious device known as a hatchet planimeter, and we will prove a conjecture about this planimeter that was made in 1906. Bicycle. We use a very simple model of a bicycle as a moving segment in the plane....
