Description

The Rolling Resistanceblock models the resistance force that acts on the wheel hub due to the rolling resistance at the road-wheel contact surface. The block can use a constant resistance coefficient or the pressure and velocity dependence of the SAE J2452 standard. The resistance force is zero when the normal force acting at the wheel-road surface is less than or equal to zero.

Constant Resistance Coefficient Model

When you set Resistance model to ```Constant coefficient```, the rolling resistance is directly proportional to the resistance coefficient F = Nμ, where parameters represent the following quantities:

• F is the rolling resistance force

• N is the normal Force

• μ is the rolling resistance coefficient

The rolling resistance coefficient has a hyperbolic form that eliminates discontinuity at vhub = 0:

`$\mu ={\mu }_{0}\cdot \mathrm{tanh}\left(\frac{4\cdot {v}_{hub}}{{v}_{threshold}}\right),$`

where parameters represent the following quantities:

• μ0 is the asymptotic rolling resistance coefficient

• vhub is the hub velocity

• vthreshold is the threshold velocity

Pressure and Velocity Dependent Model

When you set Resistance model to ```Pressure and velocity dependent```, the block uses the formula:

`$F={\left(\frac{P}{{P}_{0}}\right)}^{\alpha }{\left(\frac{N}{{N}_{0}}\right)}^{\beta }{N}_{0}\cdot \left(A+B|{v}_{hub}|+C{v}_{hub}{}^{2}\right),$`

where parameters represent the following quantities:

• P is the tire pressure

• vhub is the hub velocity

• α, β, A, B, C are the approximating coefficients

• P0 is defined as 1 Pascal (Pa)

• N0 is defined as 1 Newton (N)

In this equation, the parameters P0 and N0 remove the physical units from each exponential expression base.
