Rolling resistance Definition and 37 Threads

Hi, What is the formula or methodology for finding the Crr? There are many of those tests done on the internet, but none state the procedure of calculation. I'm trying to find the correlation between tire pressure and distance and want to use Crr as one of the key factors influencing it. Maybe...

Hello I,d like to find or to calculate Rolling resistance coefficient on sand tyre 37/12.5 R37. Thanks for your help

Dear all, I have a very simple question. The rolling resistance (rr) of, say, a car, is defined as being proportional to the normal force/weight of an object. That seems reasonable: ##F_{rr} = C_{rr} \times F_N## The coefficient C_{rr} is a constant, depending on the materials. But now a...

Say that I have a round object on a table and it is still. If I apply a force and it doesn't move the resistive force is rolling resistance rather than a frictional force right? Now I must be able to apply forces in different amounts until it exceeds a boundary for the object to move similar to...

I have conducted an experiment which involves measurements of the velocities of a carriage moving in a straight line which has 4 polyurethane caster wheels attached to it. (The kind you can get a hardware store.) In one phase of the test the carriage is pushed at about .1 meters per second. In...

I was wondering that if rolling resistance is basically caused by slight deformation of a body, we must have formulas in place to relate it to the physical and material properties of a body. But when I went ravaging for it in library or internet, everything was experimental. I wished to know...

Homework Statement Estimate the rolling resistance force for a 75gram vehicle with axle friction coefficient of 0.2 if the wheel is 40mm diameter and the axle 2mm diameter. I am having trouble with applying the axle friction coefficient. I could not find a similar problem online. Basically...

I am comparing three brands of tires to see which one provides the lowest rolling resistance and thus give the best efficiency at low speeds. I have the information of the tires such as footprint, weight (of the tire and load), speed. How would i go about doing this ? am really stumped thanks

Hello, My name is Hugh Carstensen. I am a CSE undergrad at the Ohio State University. I recently secured a position designing and assembling an automated camera-rig for digitization of archival works in the Knowlton School of Architecture. The rig will be powered by a number of small stepper...

http://imageshack.com/a/img923/733/FJKAqj.jpg so here is the deal. is rolling resistance N+Ft or are they "separate" in a means of: N part is for static friction = mu*N and Ft is part of rolling resitance=coefficient of rolling resistance*Ft so that in order for tire to start rolling without...

Hi! Well, I'm programming a vehicle's physics, and I have trouble finding a way to calculate Rolling resistance, though i searched a lot. I already have the Traction Force and the Drag Force, but now I need Rolling Resistance. The best thing i found is that Froll = Croll * P, where Croll is the...

I'm a games programmer working on a (simple, so far) physics engine for a driving game. Right now I'm interested in acceleration, and in particular trying to estimate the forces that go into it. I've got basic data for a bunch of cars (0-60 time, 0-100 time, top speed, mass) and a brute-force...

Consider a object of 5 kilos which is fixed with 4 rolling tyres (like in a trolly) which is in a slanting position of 30 degree angle. My question:How to find the force required to move the object upwards the slope along with rolling resistance considered? I tried the force using the F push...

A question in regards to rolling resistance. Am I wrong in thinking that not everything you hit on the road with your tire effects your gas mileage? Don't tires have a tolerance in terms of how much energy they can absorb before it effects your traction, therefore effecting your gas mileage...

Hi everyone - quick question on something that's been bugging me. So, train wheels, which are solid steel, have incredibly low rolling resistance, an order of magnitude less than average car tires. This is because they don't bend significantly, so you're not wasting energy to heat as in the...

Freight train is more efficient than truck due to lower rolling resistance. And I wonder which one has lower rolling resistance, small diameter or larger one or it doesn't not depend on diameter at all? Both are steel wheel on steel rail.

We know that in real world scenarios, for rolling without slipping of bodies like sphere, dis, cylinder etc. there is a rolling resistance present. This rolling resistance comes from the fact that in actual situations bodies aren't perfectly rigid. So there is some compression at the point of...

Hi PF. I'm currently developing a 2D platform game that is significantly physics-based using the Box2D physics engine. However, one of my main problems right now is that the main "character" of my game is a ball and unfortunately, Box2D does not support rolling friction. The result is that...

Hi all you physics people... we are building a high-speed robotic camera dolly here in LA for a film, and are trying to make sure we calculate our torque requirements correctly. The maximum torque required to propel a wheeled vehicle up an incline at a given acceleration is fairly easy to...

I just want to know if I am understanding this correctly. I am wondering what effect the rolling resistance has on the motion of a car when pushed, or when rolling to a stop. The mass of the car is 1,000kg. I looked up on a table to find the rolling resistance coefficient of a normal car...

Homework Statement Determine an equation for rolling resistance for a wheeled vehicle @20 mph. Homework Equations (1) Drr = Crr * g * m * V The Attempt at a Solution (2) Drr = Crr * g * m My real question: is velocity a valid part of...

I'm calculating the rolling resistance and air drag for a 60,000 lb truck. I used a Cd=0.7 for drag coefficient; 6 m2 for frontal area; and a rolling coefficient of Cr=.008; density of air=1.3 kg/m3. I get a force from rolling resistance of 2142 N (Cr*mass*g). I get a force from air drag at 35...

Hypothetically, if I had a sphere and a block (of the same mass and material (hence the same coefficients of static friction for both interfaces) both stationary on a surface, they would require the same force to initiate motion? Once moving, a coefficient of sliding friction is employed in...

My zipline is 200 feet long built with 7/16" Stainless Steel Cable. Would 3/8" cable result in a faster ride with less noise from the trolley due to significantly less surface area for friction?

1) when a wheel turns there is a forward acting friction but the 'frictional' force that opposes it is rolling resistance right? So when a wheel successfully turns and move does it mean the friction is greater than the rolling resistance? Then in a car the resisting force will be this rolling...
