Max permissible Tractive effort due to Ground Adhesion- TEGA

To Calculate Max TE due to ground adhesion 
you will need to have following data as input.

Mue =Coefficient of friction between road and wheel
=0.7 (Dry road)
=0.4 (wet surface)

GUV(Gross vehicle Weight)= 9500 Kg

Formula:
Tractive effort= GVW X Mue=9500 x 9.81 x 0.7

=65236.5 N

  1. This calculation helps you to find wheel slip condition.
    When you compare it with Produced Tractive effort

Calculate Tractive Effort at wheels-TE Inputs Required Torque at Wheels = 32607 N-m Tyre SLR = 0.4 meters Tractive effort (N) =  Torque at Wheels  /  Tyre SLR = 32607/0.40 =81518.4 N Related Link https://autocal1.blogspot.com/2020/06/calculating-torque-at-wheels-inputs.html
