    Braking during cornering

    imcjoek: I actually spent quite a bit of time with debugging the model before sending here the question. I can't exclude a problem in the tire model with 100% certainty but it seemed ok to me. Probably we should isolate the tire model from the rest of the system and validate it using with real...

    Braking during cornering

    Thanks for the answers. I am looking to roll steering issue and in general to the suspension system which is not modeled with adequate detail at the moment. I can't exclude an error in tire model but my first priority at the moment is getting something drivable as soon as possible :).

    Braking during cornering

    Hi Mike, Yes body roll is included. On the other hand roll steer is not implemented. I started to read about roll steer and it might just be the thing that I am missing. But I am not sure whether I understand the concept. Is the following scenario correct?: We drive 120 kmh on a highway and...

    Braking during cornering

    Some extra information: The brake I am talking about is not a hard-brake and I am not sure that I am reaching the traction limits. I was also careful to implement a forward bias in braking. Some numbers might clarify: Weight of car: 1560kg speed : 130kmh front wheel deflection: 0.35 degrees...

    Braking during cornering

    Hi, I am working on a driving dynamics simulation and have a problem with braking during cornering. I don't have automotive engineering background so obviously I am missing something. Here is the story: If I brake during a turn, turn rate increases considerably. E.g. when driving on highway at...

    Blade element model

    Hi, I am working on helicopter rotor simulation using blade element model and have a question about how to compute the forces and moments at the hub. I have N blades which are connected to the hub with a vertical and a horizontal hinge. Now, together with the helicopter body I have a pretty...
