  2. Aquaplaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaplaning

    Dynamic aquaplaning is a relatively high-speed phenomenon that occurs when there is a film of water on the runway that is at least 2.5 mm (1 ⁄ 10 inch) deep. [11] As the speed of the aircraft and the depth of the water increase, the water layer builds up an increasing resistance to displacement, resulting in the formation of a wedge of water ...

  3. Speed wobble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble

    Speed wobble (also known as shimmy, tank-slapper, [1] or death wobble) is a rapid side-to-side shaking of a vehicle's wheel(s) that occurs at high speeds and can lead to loss of control. It presents as a quick (4–10 Hz) oscillation of primarily the steerable wheel(s), and is caused by a combination of factors, including initial disturbances ...

    Inspect the car's most difficult-to-clean places, such as under the seats, gaps in panels in the trunk and behind the engine, looking for mud, debris or water lines.

  5. Ground vibrations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_vibrations

    The magnitudes of these forces generally increase with the increase of train speeds. Therefore, the levels of generated ground vibrations may be substantial in the case of high-speed trains. If a train speed becomes larger than Rayleigh wave velocity in the ground, an additional very large increase in generated ground vibrations takes place.

  6. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

    Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.

  7. Amphibious vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_vehicle

    ACVs have a high speed over water (an SR.N4 Mk.1 could do 83 knots (95 mph or 154 km/h)) and can make the transition between land and water at speed – unlike most wheeled or tracked amphibians. Drawbacks are high fuel consumption and noise levels.

  8. Supercavitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercavitation

    A supercavitating propeller uses supercavitation to reduce water skin friction and increase propeller speed. The design is used in military applications, high-performance racing boats, and model racing boats. It operates fully submerged with wedge-shaped blades to force cavitation on the entire forward face, starting at the leading edge.

  9. Traction (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(mechanics)

    [citation needed] A tank or similar tracked vehicle uses tracks to reduce the pressure on the areas of contact. A 70-ton M1A2 would sink to the point of high centering if it used round tires. The tracks spread the 70 tons over a much larger area of contact than tires would and allow the tank to travel over much softer land.
