Tire- Road Interaction doubt.

Tire- Road Interaction doubt.

Tire- Road Interaction doubt.

(OP)
I'm running a simulation using ADAMS in which,
I tired to run the vehicle over a gradient of 17 deg.
when I was changing the road friction from 0.5 to 0.4 vehicle was only able to climb upto a certain distance(say 15m).

Gradient is same in both the simulation, so C.G shifting will be same.
torque input is same.

what is the reason?

RE: Tire- Road Interaction doubt.

(OP)
cgz means?, C.G location is not very high. and yes it is fwd.

RE: Tire- Road Interaction doubt.

(OP)
Yeah, But theoretically I would like to know how to find the gradeability of the vehicle

RE: Tire- Road Interaction doubt.

your friction does sounds rather low even if it were wet weather this could cause and issue, or amplify any other issues for sure
