Tire Traction Grading Procedures as Derived from the Maneuvering Characteristics of a Tire-Vehicle System. Volumes I and II (Combined).

摘要

The report contains: (1) wet-surface longitudinal and lateral shear-force data for 10tires which differ in construction and/or state of treadwear; (2) rank difference correlations between tire traction quality rankings derived from tire testing and tire rankings derived from tire-vehicle system tests; (3) a comprehensive tire shear force model and a mathematical method for fitting tire data (these are included in Vol. II) and (4) results from analyses and simulation studies of tire-vehicle system performance in J-turns and locked-wheel diagonal braking stops.
