Road Vehicle Dynamics

Meer over het boek

Focusing on automotive engineering terminology, this book explores the mechanics and analytical methods central to vehicle dynamics. It delves into tire force and torque generation, along with the components of drive train and suspension systems. Key topics include vehicle dynamics fundamentals, dynamic models of force elements, and a tire model. The author employs simple vehicle models and MATLAB® examples to enhance understanding and verify theoretical predictions. Additional resources such as electronic lecture notes and a solutions manual are provided for course adoption.
