Vehicle DynamicsMartin Meywerk, Helmut-Schmidt-University (University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg) GermanyVehicle Dynamics comprehensively covers the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics with application to automotive mechatronics. It is divided into the three parts covering longitudinal, vertical and lateral dynamics, and considers the application of these to modern mechatronic systems including the anti-lock braking system and dynamic stability control.The text provides a comprehensive overview of key classical elements of the vehicle, as well as modern twenty-first century concepts that have only recently been implemented on the most modern commercial vehicles. The topics covered range from basic vehicle rigid body kinematics and wheel dynamic analysis, to advanced concepts in cruise control, hybrid powertrain design and analysis, and multi-body systems. The conflict between safety and comfort is also discussed, and consideration is given to dynamic behaviour, the suspension system and oscillations of the powertrain.Key features:* Presents a number of different design, analysis and implementation considerations related to automobiles, including power requirements, converters, performance, fuel consumption and vehicle dynamic models* Covers the dynamics, modeling and control of not only the entire vehicle system, but also of key elements of the vehicle such as transmissions, and hybrid systems integration* Includes exercise problems and MATLAB(r) codes* Accompanied by a website hosting animationsVehicle Dynamics is an ideal textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students in automotive engineering, and is also a useful reference for practitioners in the automotive industry (designers, engineers and analysts, etc).
