Computer simulation seems to be one of the cheapest and relatively fast methods of investigating vehicle motion. Thereby, it may be important in the case of calculations for the reconstruction of traffic incidents. In particular, that may be important to answer the following question: How wheels' normal reaction forces differ during the cornering of a vehicle?
In this article, the authors presented how the normal reaction forces vary in the case of roll motion of a vehicle body. Suitable mathematical equations are presented. Furthermore, the measurements of the height of the centre of gravity were performed, which was necessary to obtain the normal reaction forces while vehicle body rolls. The authors decided to apply dimensionless coefficients, which represented the properties of a front and rear suspension. Additionally, dimensionless parameters were applied to consider the impact of asymmetrical distribution of vehicle load on normal reaction forces of wheels on a road surface.
W artykule przeanalizowano proces hamowania samochodu z zablokowaniem kół przedniej lub tylnej osi. Wyznaczono zakres wartości, w którym mieści się opóźnienie pojazdu podczas hamowania z pozostawieniem śladów ogumienia na nawierzchni. Zaproponowano wprowadzenie współczynnika korekcyjnego, który uwzględnia możliwość niepełnego wykorzystania siły hamowania przez tylną lub przednią oś pojazdu.
Braking traces vs. vehicle braking deceleration
Vehicle braking process with the front or rear axle wheels locking was analysed. The range of vehicle deceleration during braking while leaving traces of the tires on the surface was specified. The introduction of a correction coefficient which takes account of the possibility of incomplete use of the braking force by the rear or front axle of the vehicle was proposed.
