Optimum Acceleration and Braking Force Distribution Curve - part 2 with EXCEL Program
Contents Sign convention on the direction of acceleration and braking force Condition of the optimum acceleration and braking force distribution curve Relationship between tire friction force and gravitational acceleration Basic equation for the optimum force distribution curve Practical example for a car Analysis of the optimum force distributio curve Theoretical base for the important values of curve Conclusion sign convention on the direction of acceleration and braking force Sign convention is redefined to explain both of acceleration and braking Plus sign is for acceleration Minus sign is for braking The shape of the brake force distribution graph moves from upper-right quadrant to lower-left quadrant. it is a point symmetry of the previous one as shown as following graph. Longitudinal force distribution(a) - optimum case Explained in the previous article, the vehicle weight can be expressed as two equations here in which a is plus for acceleration and minus in braking. ...
