Understanding Tire Dynamics - Factors & Dissipation

AI Thread Summary
Tire dynamics involve understanding the contact area and slip area while a tire rotates on the road. Key factors influencing these areas include tire pressure, load, and road surface conditions. Dissipation primarily results from the friction between the tire and the road, as well as the material's damping properties. For further reading, "Tyre Vehicle Dynamics" by Pacjeka is recommended as a valuable resource. Understanding these elements is crucial for optimizing tire performance and vehicle handling.

can anybody please help me to understand some of the things regarding tire dynamics?

first of all , while tire is rotating on a road, what are the factors to be considered to find the contact area, and slip area?
second, dissipation, what is the main factor that lead to dissipation , is it the friction of road and tire or is it the damping in the material itself?
It would be nice if some one can suggest any gud text on this
thank you

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
