This text is for engineering students. It introduces the fundamental knowledge used in vehicle dynamics. This knowledge can be utilized to develop computer programs for analyzing the ride, handling, and optimization of road vehicles.
Vehicle dynamics has been in the engineering curriculum for more than a hundred years. Books on the subject are available, but most of them are written for specialists and are not suitable for a classroom application.A new student, engineer, or researcher would not know where and how to start learning vehicle dynamics. So, there is a need for a textbook for beginners.
This textbook presents the fundamentals with a perspective on future trends.
The study of classical vehicle dynamics has its roots in the work of great scientists of the past four centuries and creative engineers in the past century who stablished the methodology of dynamic systems. The development of vehicle dynamics has
moved toward modeling, analysis, and optimization of multi-body dynamics upported by some compliant members. Therefore, merging dynamics with optimization theory was an expected development. The fast-growing capability of accurate positioning,
sensing, and calculations, along with intelligent computer programming are the other important developments in vehicle dynamics. So, a textbook help the reader to make a computer model of vehicles, which this book does.
Level of the Book
This book has evolved from nearly a decade of research in nonlinear dynamic systems and teaching courses in vehicle dynamics.
It is addressed primarily to the last year of undergraduate study and the first year graduate student in engineering. Hence, it is an intermediate textbook. It provides both fundamental and advanced topics. The whole book can be covered in two
successive courses, however, it is possible to jump over some sections and cover the book in one course. Students are required to know the fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics, as well as a basic knowledge of numerical methods.
The contents of the book have been kept at a fairly theoretical-practical level. Many concepts are deeply explained and their application emphasized, and most of the related theories and formal proofs have been explained. The book places a strong emphasis on the physical meaning and applications of the concepts. Topics that have been selected are of high interest in the field. An attempt has been made to expose students to a broad range of topics and approaches. There are four special chapters that are indirectly related to vehicle dynamics: Applied Kinematics, Applied Mechanisms, Applied Dynamics, and Applied Vibrations. These chapters provide the related background to understand vehicle dynamics and its subsystems.
