Presenting the terminology of automotive engineering, this book introduces the basic mechanics and analytical methods used in vehicle dynamics. The text provides insight into tire force and torque generation and surveys the components of drive train and suspension systems. It also covers the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics and includes a tire model, as well as dynamic models of force elements. Using simple vehicle models, the author provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics of road vehicles. Many MATLAB® examples are used to verify theoretical predictions. Electronic lecture notes and a full solutions manual are available with qualifying course adoption.
