This book provides a detailed and
well-rounded overview of the dynamics of road vehicle systems.
Readers will come to understand how
physical laws, human factor considerations, and design choices
come together to affect a vehicle's
ride, handling, braking, and acceleration. Following an introduction
and general review of dynamics,
topics
include:
analysis of dynamic systems;
tire dynamics;
ride dynamics;
handling dynamics;
braking;
acceleration; and
total vehicle dynamics.
The authors' emphasis on safety
reflects growing consumer interest in vehicle safety. Safety
considerations
are covered throughout the book, with specific chapters on roll dynamics and
accident reconstruction.
