What are the units used in the PAC2002 tire model definition for VERTICAL_DAMPING?

0 Kent West over 8 years ago

Hi reida,

I would hope that they correspond to the UNITS block at the top of the .tir file. Here's what the example one shows:

[UNITS]

LENGTH                  ='meter'

FORCE                   ='newton'

ANGLE                   ='radian'

MASS                    ='kg'

TIME                    ='second'

One of the passenger tire examples that we provide has a value of 50 N-s/m, for reference. I asked google about that value and got a lot of different thoughts back for race car tires, aircraft tires and all in between... :)

HTH,

Kent

Hi Kent,

I had considered that title block, but in literature I have seen both (N-s/m) and (kg-s/m). Just wanted to make sure!

I wouldn't trust a source which gives a damping coefficient in mass/velocity ...
