Vehicle Dynamics

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Vehicle Dynamics.

• Circle of Forces — Represent a tire contact patch's combined longitudinal and lateral force capacity as a friction-circle or friction-ellipse envelope, so braking, driving, and cornering consume one coupled traction budget.
• Roll Center — Represent an axle suspension’s lateral-force-to-sprung-mass coupling by a state- and definition-qualified point in its transverse plane, using either kinematic motion or force-resultant construction while keeping migration, jacking, load transfer, and the distinction from a literal pivot explicit.
