If in a further step normalized sinkage is plotted against the diagonal for the tyre/track data,<br />

the correlation becomes better and the linear regression function is significant with an R 2<br />

of 0.639 and a p-value of 0.034 as shown in Figure 121.<br />

Figure 121: Contact pressure/rel. density increase vs. length of diagonal<br />

With the unsatisfactory previous results, the last step of the theoretical approach described<br />

before is taken and normalized sinkage is plotted against the Form Factor * Length of Di-<br />

agonal for the tyre/track data in Figure 122. The spread of data is similar to the previous<br />

one and so is the R 2 of 0.631 and the p-value of 0.037.<br />
