Creating a Car Model for Turning: Dynamics Knowledge Needed

AI Thread Summary
Creating a car model for turning requires a solid understanding of vehicle dynamics, particularly the forces acting on the wheels during a turn. Resources such as academic papers, textbooks, and online courses can provide the necessary knowledge. A shared link to class notes from an automotive course offers valuable insights into vehicle dynamics. Users are encouraged to save the notes for future reference, as their availability may be limited. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurate modeling of car behavior during turning maneuvers.

I'm trying to create a model for a car turning to make a differential (I need forces aplied on the wheel, and all other things) but I don't have enough knowledge of dynamics to do that. Does someone know a book(s), papers or sites with good explanation about that?

Try that file. Those are notes from an automotive class being offered at my university. I can't tell you how long those will be up so you may want to save them.

Hope this helps.
 
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
