Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Dyanmics of Oversteer: Modelling Drift by Solving a System of Equations

Description
The dynamics of friction as they relate to automobile behavior have been heavily analyzed under conditions that are favorable and predictable in the realm of daily driving. The scope of this project is to investigate behavior of slip in unfavorable conditions and develop a mathematical solution that allows users to…

The dynamics of friction as they relate to automobile behavior have been heavily analyzed under conditions that are favorable and predictable in the realm of daily driving. The scope of this project is to investigate behavior of slip in unfavorable conditions and develop a mathematical solution that allows users to predict behavior of oversteer and excessive sideslip. I am fascinated by the topic as I have developed a background in the sport of drifting (controlled oversteer) and would like to contribute to the understanding of this lesser appreciated science. Highly valued components of the project such as velocities, forces, coefficients of friction, steering angles, slip angles, and multi-wheel analysis will all lead to a deeper understanding of relationships between aspects of a vehicle undergoing oversteer.
