lateral force — the component of the tire force vector in the y direction. Note: for small slip and inclination angles, the lateral force developed by the tire can be approximated by fy = caa + cyy angular rotations are positive clockwise when looking in the… … Mechanics glossary
Lateral Force Variation — Tires provide for steering, traction, braking, and load support by transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road. Lateral Force Variation (LFV) is a property of a tire that characterizes its dynamic behavior of these forces. High values of … Wikipedia
lateral force variation — the periodic variation of lateral force of a straight free rolling tire which repeats each revolution, at a fixed loaded radius, given mean normal force, constant speed, given inflation pressure and test surface curvature … Mechanics glossary
lateral force coefficient — the ratio of the lateral force to the vertical load … Mechanics glossary
lateral force offset — the average lateral force of a straight free rolling tire … Mechanics glossary
first order lateral force variation — the peak to peak amplitude of the fundamental frequency component of the Fourier series representing lateral force variation. Its frequency is equal to the rotational frequency of the tire … Mechanics glossary
peak-to-peak lateral force variation — the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the lateral force during one revolution of the tire … Mechanics glossary
total lateral force variation — see peak to peak lateral force variation … Mechanics glossary
force — a directed interaction between two objects that tends to change the momentum of both. Since a force has both direction and magnitude, it can be expressed as a vector applied force axial force body force braking force camber force central force… … Mechanics glossary
lateral traction coefficient — the maximum value of lateral force coefficient which can be reached on a free rolling tire for a given road surface, environment and operating condition … Mechanics glossary
Lateral earth pressure — is the pressure that soil exerts in the horizontal plane. The common applications of lateral earth pressure theory are for the design of ground engineering structures such as retaining walls, basements, tunnels, and to determine the friction on… … Wikipedia
