Length of Slip Arc
Length of Slip Arc is the length of the arc formed by slip circle.
Symbol: L'
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Radial Distance
Radial Distance is defined as distance between whisker sensor's pivot point to whisker-object contact point.
Symbol: dradial
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Factor of Safety
Factor of Safety is a measure of the load-carrying capacity of a structure or material compared to the actual load or stress that is applied to it.
