Mt = (Fxl-Fxr)*dL
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Moment Arising from Traction Force - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Moment Arising from Traction Force is defined as the total moment arising on the wheels due to tractive force while steering.
Tractive Force on Left Wheels - (Measured in Newton) - Tractive Force on Left Wheels is defined as the force arising due to traction between wheel and the road.
Tractive Force on Right Wheels - (Measured in Newton) - Tractive Force on Right Wheels is defined as the force due to traction between wheels and the road.
Lateral Offset at Ground - (Measured in Meter) - Lateral Offset at Ground is the offset of the wheels from their usual position after steering.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Tractive Force on Left Wheels: 500 Newton --> 500 Newton No Conversion Required
Tractive Force on Right Wheels: 400 Newton --> 400 Newton No Conversion Required
Lateral Offset at Ground: 0.04 Meter --> 0.04 Meter No Conversion Required

4 Moments Acting on Steering System and Axles Calculators

Moment due to Vertical Force on Wheels during Steering
Go Moment arising from Vertical Forces on Wheels = ((Vertical Load on Left Wheels-Vertical Load on Right Wheels)*Lateral Offset at Ground*sin(Caster Angle)*cos(Steer Angle))-((Vertical Load on Left Wheels+Vertical Load on Right Wheels)*Lateral Offset at Ground*sin(Lateral Inclination Angle)*sin(Steer Angle))
Moment about Steeraxis due to Driveline Torque
Go Moment about Steeraxis due to Driveline Torque = Tractive Force*((Distance between Steeraxis and Tire center*cos(Caster Angle)*cos(Lateral Inclination Angle))+(Radius of Tire*sin(Lateral Inclination Angle+Angle made by Front Axle with Horizontal)))
Moment Arising due to Lateral Forces on Wheels during Steering
Go Moment on Wheels Arising from Lateral Force = (Lateral Force on Left Wheels+Lateral Force on Right Wheels)*Radius of Tire*tan(Caster Angle)
Moment Arising from Traction Force on Wheels during Steering
Go Moment Arising from Traction Force = (Tractive Force on Left Wheels-Tractive Force on Right Wheels)*Lateral Offset at Ground

Moment Arising from Traction Force on Wheels during Steering Formula

Moment Arising from Traction Force = (Tractive Force on Left Wheels-Tractive Force on Right Wheels)*Lateral Offset at Ground
Mt = (Fxl-Fxr)*dL

Why do we need to calculate moments on wheels due to tractive force?

Design and development of a modern steering system influences vehicle response to steering wheel input, driver effort, comfort, safety and fuel economy. The traction force Fx acting at the wheel contact center acts on the kingpin axis to produce a moment which is function of the lateral offset d.
