STEADY TURNING OF SINGLE-TRACK VEHICLES

Steady turning of single-track vehicles is examined by reference to dynamical equations applicable when rolling takes place without slip. In formulating these equations, advantage is taken of the fact that one may linearize in the steering angle without restricting the turning radius. This makes it possible to arrive at equations which permit one to obtain both numerical results and general insights rather easily.
