The difference in angles between the plane of the wheel and the rolling direction of the tire.
the flexibility of a tire causes the longitudinal centreline of any wheel to deviate from the path followed by the contact patch centerline, as soon as the steering wheel is turned from the straight-ahead position. The angle between the wheel centerline and the contact patch centerline is called the slip angle, and each wheel will normally run at a different angle, because its value depends on a number of factors. These include suspension geometry, tire construction, tire pressure and cornering speed. The difference between the average front and rear slip angles will determine whether a car oversteers or understeers.
The angular difference between the direction in which a tire is rolling and the plane of its wheel. Slip angle is caused by deflections in the tire's sidewall and tread during cornering. A linear relationship between slip angles and cornering forces indicates an easily controllable tire.
It suggests the difference in angle between the direction in which a tire is moving and the plane of its wheel. It is usually created by deflections in the tire's sidewall and tread during cornering.
The angle between a tire's direction and successive contacts of a point on its tread in one rotation. Note, it's a measure of inherent tire deformation, not sliding. See also Neutral, Oversteer, Understeer (and their extremes).
The angle between the direction in which a tire is aimed or steered and the actual direction of tire travel.
In car handling, slip angle is the angle between a rolling wheel's actual direction of travel and the direction towards which it is pointing (i.e., the angle of the vector sum of wheel translational velocity v and sideslip velocity u). This slip angle results in a force perpendicular to the wheel's direction of travel -- the cornering force. This cornering force increases approximately linearly for the first few degrees of slip angle, then increases non-linearly to a maximum before beginning to decrease.
