Lateral Slip Ratios

The slip angle  is defined as:

                          (3)

The lateral slip ratio due to slip angle, , may then be defined as:

   (4)

The lateral slip ratio due to inclination angle, , is defined as:

                                 (5)

A combined lateral slip ratio due to slip and inclination angles, , is defined as:

  (6)

where,  is the length of the contact patch.
