What is Rolling Resistance?
Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects; that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc., is recovered when the pressure is removed.
How to Calculate Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles?
Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles calculator uses Rolling Resistance = (Rolling Resistance Factor*Weight on Wheels)+(Tire Penetration Factor*Tire Penetration*Weight on Wheels) to calculate the Rolling Resistance, The Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles formula is defined as the rolling resistance offered by external force when we have prior information of weight of wheel, tire characteristics and rolling resistance factor. Rolling Resistance is denoted by R symbol.
How to calculate Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles, enter Rolling Resistance Factor (Rf), Weight on Wheels (W), Tire Penetration Factor (Rp) & Tire Penetration (p) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1200 = (10*20)+(10*5*20).
