Description
Summary:In this paper, we present a method of calculating cornering stiffness for different camber angles. The method removes the need for measurement data at different camber angles. The camber angle is regarded as equivalent to a local shift of load in the contact patch from one half-side to the other. A simple model is presented to describe the load shift. The cornering stiffness from each side, accounting for their loads, is then assumed to contribute to the total stiffness. The load shift model is validated through two finite element models. Cornering stiffnesses given by the model for two different tires are then compared to the measurements. To show the universality of the method, its application to interpolated measurement data is shown. The proposed method shows promising results for moderate camber angles.
