Road Vehicle Dynamics: Fundamentals and Modeling (Ground Vehicle Engineering Series) by Georg Rill combines the basics of computer-simulated modelling with vehicle-dynamics fundamentals, to provide a practical and unique insight into vehicle dynamics.
The material in the text is drawn from lectures taken from graduate and undergraduate courses, symposiums and seminars, giving practical insights into the subject. Readers are only required to take the first prerequisite course in programming language and dynamics to be able to comprehend the material.
The text is divided into 11 sections: Introduction, Road, Tire, Drivetrain, Suspension System, Force Elements, Vertical Dynamics, Longitudinal Dynamics, Lateral Dynamics and Driver Behavior. At the end of each chapter are exercises which will help to reinforce the concepts and programming examples. in the introduction, readers will learn about quantities, units, definitions, terminology, motion equations and multibody dynamics. in Road, topics such as modeling aspects, stochastic and deterministic road models are covered. in Tire, students will learn about torques, state forces, bore torque and combined forces. in Drivetrain, topics such as power sources, differentials and tire and wheel are addressed. Suspension System covers steering systems and double-wishbone suspensions. Force Elements looks at standard and dynamic force elements. in Vertical Dynamics, the topics covered are sky-hook damper, optimal damping and basic tuning. Longitudinal Dynamics covers braking, driving, maximum acceleration and brake pitch. in Lateral Dynamics, the topics addressed are mechatronic systems, steady-state cornering and kinematic approach. Finally, in Driving Behavior, students will learn about driving manoeuvres, driver model and 3D vehicle models.
Road Vehicle Dynamics: Fundamentals and Modeling (Ground Vehicle Engineering Series) was published by CRC Press in 2011 and is available in hardcover format.
Key Features:
The text will teach students about simple models derived from vehicle dynamics fundamentals.
