Block Longitudinal Wheel - Disc Brake implements the longitudinal behavior of an ideal disc brake wheel. The block allows you to set the method for calculating the longitudinal force and rolling resistance, as well as the type of brake. Use this unit when modeling the transmission and longitudinal motion of a vehicle, when low-frequency forces of interaction of the tire with the road and braking forces are required to determine acceleration, braking and rolling resistance of the wheel. For example, this unit can be used to determine the torque and power required for a given driving cycle or braking event. The unit is not suitable for applications requiring combined side sliding.
The block simulates the longitudinal force as a function of wheel slip relative to the road surface. To calculate the longitudinal force, set the parameter Longitudinal Force one of the following values:
Magic Formula constant value — an empirical formula with constant coefficients of stiffness, shape, peak and curvature.
Magic Formula pure longitudinal slip — an empirical formula with load-dependent coefficients according to equations 4.E9–4.E18 from [2].
To calculate the rolling resistance moment, set the parameter Rolling Resistance one of the following values:
None — rolling resistance is not taken into account.
Pressure and velocity — the method defined in [1]. Rolling resistance depends on tire pressure, normal force, and speed.
Magic Formula — the equations of the empirical formula under the number 4.E70 in [2]. «Magical» The formula is an empirical equation based on approximation coefficients.
To calculate the vertical movement, set the parameter Vertical Motion one of the following values:
None — the unit transmits the applied chassis forces directly to the rolling resistance and longitudinal force calculations.
Mapped stiffness and damping — vertical movement depends on the stiffness and damping of the wheel. Stiffness is a function of tire sidewall displacement and pressure, and damping is a function of tire sidewall velocity and pressure.
Rotating wheel dynamics
The unit calculates the inertial response of the wheel, taking into account:
axis losses;
braking and driving torques;
rolling resistance of the tire;
contact with the road through the tire.
The input torque is the sum of the applied axle torque, the braking torque, and the torque resulting from the total tire torque.:
For the moment arising from the total torque of the tire, the unit implements the traction forces of the wheel and rolling resistance with first-order dynamics. Rolling resistance has a time constant parameterized in terms of the relaxation length:
To calculate the rolling resistance moment for the parameter Rolling Resistance you can set one of the following values:
None — the unit sets the rolling resistance torque equal to zero.
Pressure and velocity — the block uses the method described in [1]. Rolling resistance is a function of tire pressure, normal force and speed, namely:
ISO 28580 — the block uses the method described in [3]. The method takes into account the normal load, parasitic losses and thermal corrections caused by the test conditions, namely:
Magic Formula — the unit calculates rolling resistance according to the equation of the empirical formula 4.E70 in [2]. «Magical» The formula is an empirical equation based on approximation coefficients.
If the brakes are on, the unit determines the braking state (locked or unlocked) based on an idealized dry clutch friction model. Depending on the state of the lock, the block uses the following friction and dynamics models.
