Greetings everyone and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I am currently part of a team tasked with designing and constructing an autonomous, mechanically powered two-axle vehicle capable of making left-hand u-turns around a set track.
I have designed a steering mechanism I believe is functional but have had difficulty locating any information in regards to determining the steering radius of the vehicle.
Specifically, I am unsure what kind of equation I can use to determine the steering radius of a vehicle given that the front axle itself turns with respect to the rear axle (the max angle between the front and rear axles is 30 deg).
Thanks again and please let me know if I should add anymore information.
