I mean that there is no difference in applying the longitudinal tire force in the contact point or in the wheel hub. This happens because no generalized coordinates relates the wheel hub and the tire contact point, and their jacobians for computing the generalized forces result the same. For...

I'm having issues in the application of tire forces while deriving a multi-body model of a motorcycle via Lagrange. In particular, I considered several bodies that are: swingarm, main frame, front upper fork, front lower fork and wheels. I suppose the wheels to have zero slippage, then...
