friction is given by weight on the contact surface multiplied by friction coefficient.

When one of these cars enters a corner fast (with the gas pedal down) its rear wheels will lose traction (will have a tendency to spin) and the centrifugal force the car is subject to combined with the reduced friction coefficient to the rear wheels will lead their rear end off the curve.

Tyre friction coefficient changes nonlinearly with vertical load.

«Slippery» mode optimises the handling on surfaces with low friction coefficients such as snow or ice.

In some embodiments, the program code may be further configured to use the received sensor inputs to calculate friction coefficients, slip rates and angles, velocity vectors and resultant wheel motor speed and torque commands.

The clutch plates in the four - wheel drive system now have a higher friction coefficient, which ensures even faster and more precise torque distribution to the front axle, while the rear axle still features a torque vectoring differential.

Braking on surfaces with different friction coefficients, so - called μ - split braking, is generally a situation that is particularly difficult to master — the side with more grip pulls the vehicle in its direction.

In «dynamic» mode, torque is distributed to the rear axle earlier and to a higher degree, which means that driving dynamics are enhanced further, especially on surfaces with low friction coefficients.

Conversely, the friction coefficient can rise a hundredfold when sliding speed reduces and the temperature drops.

«Now we can make a proper calculation of the friction coefficients,» says Makkonen.

Coulomb's equation states that in order to slide one hand against the other the shear stress — akin to the force applied to slide your hands — divided by the surrounding pressure — squeezing the sand together — must equal something called the friction coefficient.

If this ratio reaches the friction coefficient (determined by the sand's properties), your hand will move.
