BookPublisher: Warrendale, Pa. : SAE International, c2008Description: xxii, 852 p. : ill. ; 29 cm. + hbk.ISBN: 9780768016437; 0768016436.Subject(s): Automobiles -- Dynamics

DDC classification: 629.231

Contents:

Introduction -- Analysis of dynamic systems -- Tire dynamics -- Ride dynamics -- Vehicle rollover analysis -- Handling dynamics -- Braking -- Acceleration -- Total vehicle dynamics -- Accident reconstruction.

Summary: This book provides a detailed overview of the dynamics of road vehicle systems, looking at how physical laws, human factor considerations, and design choices come together to affect a vehicle's ride, handling, braking, and acceleration. After an introduction and general overview of dynamics, the book covers analysis of dynamic systems, tire dynamics, ride dynamics, handling dynamics, braking, acceleration, and total vehicle dynamics. Safety considerations are emphasized throughout, with specific chapters on vehicle rollover analysis and accident reconstruction. While the focus is on road vehicles, road vehicles that are frequently driven off-road, such as sport utility vehicles, are also covered.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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; vehicle rollover analysis; handling dynamics; braking; acceleration; and total vehicle dynamics.

Bibliography: p. 805-810 - Includes index.
