Goliath 94 Posted April 28, 2010 Very interesting, i'm surprised at how often the tyre loses contact with the track. It almost looks deflated in the hard corners though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars Posted April 28, 2010 That's more extreme than I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted April 28, 2010 Very interesting, i'm surprised at how often the tyre loses contact with the track. It almost looks deflated in the hard corners though! It's called pneumatic trail, all tyres will do that to a certain extent, it's how you get your cornering force. Cool video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24seven 104 Posted April 28, 2010 Have a look for some slomo top fuel take-offs if you get bored. Their sidewalls crumple even more spectacularly, you'll be surprised just how much slip there is in the tyres due to hysteresis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryskid 193 Posted April 28, 2010 Amazing stuff,i don't know if i would want to think about it when cornering hard though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted April 28, 2010 Hysteresis is a little different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24seven 104 Posted April 28, 2010 It's the deformation of the tyre which in effect causes the slip I was on about in my last post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted April 28, 2010 That's just slip angle, hysteresis is how the tyre moulds around the aggregate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted April 29, 2010 It could also be applied to how it transmits the impacts and the internal carcass damping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
