Variation of adhesion during wheelspin (IM-ES-098)

Last updated on 10 May 2013 12:09

As part of studies of wheelspin, a recording of traction motor current and wheel speed during a wheelspin was analysed. Values of dynamic adhesion coefficient were found. It was noted that minor spins occurred before the major spin.
