Abstract
The tire cornering characteristics, lateral force and self-aligning torque to side slip angle, are dealt with in this chapter. Following the theoretical investigation into the effects of the tire parameters on the cornering characteristics based on Fiala's theory, more specific explanations of the effects of side slip angle, vertical load, road condition, tire pressure, tire shape, braking and traction forces, etc. are given based on previous experimental data. In order to study the tire cornering characteristics during combined slip of lateral and longitudinal directions, the brush tire model is introduced. After giving the explanation of the model, detailed descriptions of the lateral and longitudinal forces are given as functions of basically lateral slip, longitudinal slip, and vertical load. The transient characteristics of lateral force and self-aligning torque are also dealt with using simplified tire model.
