Description and Table of Contents

Description

The book starts with an historical overview of road vehicles. The first part deals with the forces exchanged between the vehicle and the road and the vehicle and the air with the aim of supplying the physical facts and the relevant mathematical models about the forces which dominate the dynamics of the vehicle.The second part deals with the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle in normal driving conditions with some extensions towards conditions encountered in high-speed racing driving.

Table of Contents

  • Short historical notes on motor vehicles
  • forces acting between road and wheels
  • aerodynamic forces
  • performance of motor vehicles on straight road
  • steering of the vehicle
  • effect of the suspension system on the behaviour of motor vehicles
  • models of vehicles with deformable body
  • simulation of road accidents.
