3.1 Introduction

This chapter is devoted to the analysis of the properties of a relatively simple theoretical tire model belonging to the third category of Figure 2.11. The mathematical modeling of the physical model shown in Figure 2.13 has been a challenge to various investigators. Four fundamental ...
