1. Yaw-drift model: steady state

In this section, we will examine a particular state of the vehicle's yaw-drift plane motion: the steady-state cornering state. This state is particularly important in the overall understanding of vehicle motion during cornering; it allows us to justify and understand certain assertions made previously, to qualify vehicle behavior and to validate the practice of basic vehicle dynamics testing. The starting point is the equations obtained in paragraph 5.3 of [AF 5 100] .
