Tire Grip | EXPLAINED 

My thoughts exactly. Although I'm no longer working in engineering, that was what I studied and F=uN was my explanation for tyre grip. I'm glad I watched this before buying a spring balance and setting up an experiment to make myself look daft. Just goes to prove that "a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing".

well still just enjoing the fact of understanding only 1% of the material xD

Blessed comment

I've discovered this channel recently, and I'm hooked. The research that goes into his videos is staggering. This channel gives similar vibes to another channel albeit on cars i.e. "Engineering Explained".

Great point.

Many "engineers" think the equations they learned dictate the behavior of real physical systems. Those equations are only applicable to a narrow set of conditions, and nature is free to generate data that is in disagreement with the (simple) equations, given the limited applicability of the equations. My hypothesis is that Germans are taught that electrical systems behave as per the aggregate of manufacturer's specification, and design fragile systems based on the inability to imagine corner cases. That's the only way I can imagine the stark difference between German electrical systems and Japanese electrical systems.

I'm reading Motorcycle Dynamics at this exact moment! As a tire nerd/material scientist/chemist/mechanical engineer/former racer, thank you SO MUCH for making this video. Tires are so under appreciated, they're all just black and round right? This video is already in depth, but only scratches the surface of the complexity. Could have added (and probably way too technical) the Loss Modulus and Storage Modulus based on temperature (such as a DMA graph). Which is a discussion on glass transition temperature/rubbery plateau/flow region to demonstrate exactly why operating temperatures are so critical to tire operation, tire warmup, and over-heating. It would also be cool to see a comparison of a 190 rear on a 5.5" and 6" rear wheel. U vs V profile on the wheel, and contact patch at lean angle vs straight line stability based on that profile. Such a great video.

Wow, what a list! thanks.

What do I win if I own all of the above referenced?

@@RedTurbocar My undying respect and a whole lot of knowledge.

Ohhhh man I fucking love the Carrol Smith books. Have devoured all of them. Holy fuck you actually read Miliken? Clearly you are my type of person. I've also read Gillespie. If you get a chance read "Race Car Engineering" by Paul Van Valkenburgh. I may have misspelled it. His books are very similar to Carrol Smith's books, but it's interesting to see the same information from someone else's opinion. Got a new subscriber by the way

hey holla fellow Malaysian! :D

Cool comment,I don't weigh much and I,very got fk all grip too.cheer,s, happy and safe new year from,Auckland,New Zealand,all the best...

Underrated comment

🤣

bro you can find replacement grips on ebay n stuff you can even get heated grips

@@jmc2567 what???....🤔💭

As an engineering student you should know the video is wrong. its first year physics

@@MikeonBikes Thanks for the input 👌

No first year engineering student can make any statement on the validity of this video. The concepts here just begin to get into polymer science. Viscoelastic materials can be thought of as a dash pot and spring combination. I guarantee you that no undergrad ME has a scientific understanding of this topic (viscoelastic materials was a 500 level class in my Master's program). Please see the references Mike has listed.
