Friction and camber influences on the static stiffness properties of a racing tyre

Investigation of the stationary load-deflection behaviour of tyres reveals many details of the structure and the rubber to road friction properties. These characteristics are fundamental to the understanding of the behaviour of both the stationary and the rolling tyre. In connection with racing, tyre static stiffness characteristics are of interest as they reflect on the controllability of the ...

Non-Singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control of a Nonholonomic Wheeled Mobile Robots Using Fuzzy Based Tyre Force Estimator

This paper, proposes a methodology to implement a suitable nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller associated with the output feedback control to achieve a successful trajectory tracking of a non-holonomic wheeled mobile robot in presence of longitudinal and lateral slip accompanied. This implementation offers a relatively faster and high precision tracking performance. We investigate this...

Comparison of Slips and Pulling Forces on Worn and New Tyres

Original scientific paper The slip, the resistance to rolling and pulling force are interconnected. The influence of tyre wear on the tractor pulling force and slip on three different grounds was observed. The tangential force was measured by dynamometers fixed to tractor driving half-axle. The pulling force on the pulling rods was measured by dynamometer fixed to the pulling force. The tractor...
