What are the effects of slip angle?
The ratios between the slip angles of the front and rear axles (a function of the slip angles of the front and rear tires respectively) will determine the vehicle's behavior in a given turn. If the ratio of front to rear slip angles is greater than 1:1, the vehicle will tend to understeer, while a ratio of less than 1:1 will produce oversteer. Actual instantaneous slip angles depend on many factors, including the condition of the road surface, but a vehicle's suspension can be designed to promote specific dynamic characteristics. A principal means of adjusting developed slip angles is to alter the relative roll couple (the rate at which weight transfers from the inside to the outside wheel in a turn) front to rear by varying the relative amount of front and rear lateral load transfer. This can be achieved by modifying the height of the roll centers, or by adjusting roll stiffness, either through suspension changes or the addition of an anti-roll bar.
How to Calculate Lateral Slip Velocity?
Lateral Slip Velocity calculator uses Lateral Slip Velocity = Axle Speed over Roadway*sin(Slip Angle) to calculate the Lateral Slip Velocity, The Lateral slip velocity formula is used to find the lateral component of slip velocity. Lateral Slip Velocity is denoted by vlateral symbol.
How to calculate Lateral Slip Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Lateral Slip Velocity, enter Axle Speed over Roadway (VRoadway) & Slip Angle (αslip) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Lateral Slip Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.606709 = 30*sin(0.087).
