Another very cool effect is slipangle!!! Is the difference of the wanted direction and the real orientation of the car!!! The real traction lost effect!!
My thoughts on slipangle vs. traction loss:
It is just the case when the slip angle of the rear wheels is larger than the slip angle of the front wheels, which causes the rear of the vehicle spin (ie, in a curve outwardly spin). The tire slip is the dominant of determining the stability sizes. The tire slip angle as a function of the lateral force is influenced by the type of tire, but particularly from the tire internal pressure and the wheel load. Further tire construction and tread condition, as well as the superimposition of a circumferential force have an influence.
When diagonally running wheel the rubber elements are deflected by the attacking side in the tire force from its normal position. Initially affects the elastic restoring force of the tire against the above the run length (approximately linearly) increasing deflection. Is the maximum transferable friction of rubber elements in the contact patch exceeded (that is, for example, for large slip angles of the case), then it comes to slide these elements and the deflection will not increase while on the run length.
The useful for vehicle guidance effect of tire slip, namely the setting up of a lateral force to the slip angle is illustrated schematically here.
Basicallythe profile provides for all tires of the same. Only the inclination of the first linear increase is different. It depends mainly on the tire structure (height / width ratio, carcass, rubber compounds, ...), inflation pressure and wheel load. It is evident, however, that at a certain slip angle, the lateral force decreases. So there is an optimum slip angle for maximum lateral force. This optimum is, however, again depends on many factors, including the vehicle speed plays a role. At high speeds, causing the slip a significant heating of the tire. Therefore are generally at high speeds smaller skew angle driven, so that the tires are not damaged.
So far my thoughts. As always = sorry for my english
