What does traction failure mean?
1 Answers
Traction failure means that the transmission system of wheeled vehicles such as cars, railway locomotives, and bicycles cannot generate sufficient torque to rotate the wheels. The following is a related introduction about traction: 1. Definition: In mechanical engineering, traction refers to the rotational torque generated by the transmission system of wheeled vehicles such as cars, railway locomotives, and bicycles on the wheels, which is produced through the interaction between the driving wheels and the ground or rails. 2. Introduction: Middle school physics often mentions the traction of various motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, trains, and bicycles. Some people believe that traction refers to the force applied by the transmission system to the driving wheels. Indeed, the force applied by the engine to the driving wheels through the transmission system promotes the rotation of the driving wheels, which is fundamentally important for the normal operation of the entire vehicle. However, the so-called 'traction' does not refer to this capability. Some people think that the 'traction force received by the car' refers to the 'forward horizontal force applied by the ground to the driving wheels'. This statement is not entirely correct either.
