Linear tire model
Linear relationship between tire lateral force and slip angle.
Contents
Sintax
The class LinearTire has two methods
Fy = TireModel.Characteristic(alpha)
TireModel.PlotTire()
Arguments
The following table describes the input arguments
| alpha | Tire slip angle [rad] |
Outputs
| Fy | Tire lateral force [N] |
Description
The lateral force of the tire can be calculated as
\[ F_y = K \alpha \]
where \(F_y\) is the lateral force, \(K\) is the cornering stiffness and \(\alpha\) is the tire slip angle.
Hypothesis
- Linear tire model
- Valid only for small values of slip angle
