  • Abstract:
    Because the rolling behavior of a car with a V2 term is described by a non-linear differential equation, it had been assumed that no closed-form solution existed and that we would have to use a numerical integration procedure (e.g. Runge-Kutta) to solve the associated differential equation. Using a closed-form solution in PROFILE and SPEEDCON allows them to be an order of magnitude faster in running time as compared to using a numerical integration procedure. However, it now appears that even with a V2 term, there does exist a closed-form solution for the associated differential equation. The derivation of velocity and position as a function of time is the focus of this Informal Note.
