Friction-related Accelerating and Climbing Ability
If the entire friction potential is utilised for acceleration or climbing, one receives the equilibrium of forces by setting up a force balance in the x and y direction and the moment balance around the y-axis which is indicated in Table 3-5 for various drive concepts.
The following conditions are considered in the derivation:
For a maximum friction induced accelerating ability from standstill, the rotating masses are neglected.
For climbing ability, low driving speeds are assumed so that air resistance can be neglected; besides only deceleration is considered.
The table above presents the relationships used in the definition of the friction-related accelerating and climbing ability.
