Motion-trajectory(MT) curves are used to introduceFrenet oscillations. Time-varying orientation of themotion planethat contains the absolute velocity and acceleration vectors is defined in terms of threeFrenet–Euler angles; thecurvature,vertical-development, andbank angles, referred to as theFrenet anglesfor brevity. The Frenet bank angle and the associatedFrenet super-elevationof the motion plane, which measure deviation of the centrifugal inertia force from the horizontal plane, can be used to shed light on definition of thebalance speedused in practice. The concept of thepre-super-elevated osculating (PSEO) planeis introduced andRodrigues’ formulais employed to develop an orthogonal rotation matrix that provides a geometric interpretation of the PSEO plane. A newinverse-dynamics problemthat utilizes experimentally or simulationrecorded motion trajectories(RMT) is used to define theFrenet inertia forcesand demonstrate their equivalence to the Cartesian form of the inertia forces. New expressions for the curvature vector in terms of the velocity and acceleration, limit on the magnitude of the tangential acceleration for a given forward velocity, condition required for the centrifugal force to remain horizontal, and condition ofcurvature singular pointsare derived. The Frenet bank angle can be used to prove existence of the normal vectors at the curvature singular points. It is shown that the inertia force can assume different forms, depending on the curve parameter used. The results of a simple analytical curve demonstrateFrenet oscillationsand importance of distinguishing between the highway-ramp and railroadtrack bank anglesand super-elevations, which are time-invariant, and theFrenet bank angleand super-elevation, which are motion-dependent.
