Tire Patch Slip Ratios

This routine computes the tire patch longitudinal slip ratios as used in the tire model to calculate tire forces. These angles include the first order relaxation lag developed by the tire.

Input:

REQ/id, FUNCTION = USER (1111 )

Request File Output

Column Number Output:

1. Slip ratio of tire patch 1
2. Slip ratio of tire patch 2
3. Slip ratio of tire patch 3
4. Slip ratio of tire patch 4
5. Slip ratio of tire patch 5 (if used)
6. Slip ratio of tire patch 6 (if used)

Notes on Input and Output

Using the ADAMS/Chassis modeling standards, the vehicle is modeled with the following wheel numbering convention:

Wheel #1 = Left front wheel
Wheel #2 = Right front wheel
Wheel #3 = Left rear wheel (outside left rear for dual rear wheels)
Wheel #4 = Right rear wheel (outside right rear for dual rear wheels)
Wheel #5 = Inside left rear wheel for dual rear wheels (not working)
Wheel #6 = Inside right rear wheel for dual rear wheels (not working)
