SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating specific coefficients related to car dynamics, particularly for a WMR (Wheeled Mobile Robot). Key coefficients include mass (m), moment of inertia (J), driving force (F_d), and lateral forces (F_f, F_r). The user seeks these coefficients for a single car model but struggles to find reliable sources, noting that race teams typically do not disclose such detailed specifications. The recommended approach is to explore specifications from race cars, as they encompass the necessary design parameters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vehicle dynamics and control systems
  • Familiarity with coefficients in mechanical engineering
  • Knowledge of the equations of motion for wheeled vehicles
  • Basic principles of robotics, particularly mobile robot control
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specifications from race car teams for detailed design coefficients
  • Study the book "Introduction to Mobile Robot Control" for foundational concepts
  • Explore resources on vehicle dynamics modeling and simulation
  • Investigate academic papers on the dynamics of wheeled mobile robots
USEFUL FOR

Students in mechanical engineering, robotics enthusiasts, and automotive engineers seeking to understand vehicle dynamics and control systems.

Homework Statement
I need to find coefficients for car, all of them must be about the same car, but I don't kbow where to look, can you help me?
Relevant Equations
m - mass of the WMR
J - moment of inertia of the WMR about G
F_d - driving force
F_f; F_r - front and rear wheel lateral forces
T - time constant of the steering system
u_s - steering control input
K - a constant coefficient (gain)
Fd - (1/r=tau_d), with r the rear wheel radius, and tau_d the applied motor torque.2

So I tried to look in google, but all I found is same books, from which I took this formulas. The book is "introduction to mobile robot control"

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

I'm guessing that your best chance would be to find the specs on some race car, since all of those things will be part of the car's design. But most race teams would not want to publish such specs outside of the team, I would guess.

I'll ping @Ranger Mike to see if he has any ideas...
