This is the first book to combine classical vehicle dynamics with
electronic control. The equation-based presentation of the theory
behind vehicle dynamics enables readers to develop a thorough
understanding of the key attribute to both a vehicle's driveability
and its active safety. Supported by MATLAB tools, the key areas
that affect vehicle dynamics are explored including tire mechanics,
the steering system, vehicle roll, traction and braking, 4WS and
vehicle dynamics, vehicle dynamics by vehicle and human control,
and controllabiliy.
As a professional reference volume, this book is an essential
addition to the resources available to anyone working in vehicle
design and development. Written by a leading authority in the field
(who himself has considerable practical experience), the book has a
unique blend of theory and practice that will be of immense value
in this applications based field.
* Get a thorough understand of why vehicles respond they way they
do with a complete treatment of vehicle dynamics from theory to
application
* Full of case studies and worked examples using MATLAB/Simulink
* Covers all variables of vehicle dynamics including tire and
vehicle motion, control aspects, human control and external
disturbances
The 18th Symposium of the International Association for Vehicle
System Dynamics was held at Kanagawa Institute of Technology,
Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan. The symposium was hosted by KAIT as one of
the memorial events of the 40th anniversary of KAIT. Though
overwhelming numbers of high quality papers were applied in
response to the call for papers for the presentation at the
symposium, the Scientific Committee accepted 89 papers for the oral
presentation and 38 for the poster presentation. Finally, 82 papers
were presented at the oral sessions and 29 papers at the poster
sessions in the symposium. There were five States-of-the-Arts
papers presented at the plenary sessions in the symposium.
Vehicle dynamics are vital for optimizing a vehicle's drivability,
efficiency, and safety. Understanding the forces and motions on a
vehicle (both theoretical aspects, like basic equations of motion,
and practical ones, like tire mechanics and human vehicle control)
is integral in the design and development of all vehicles. Masato
Abe's Vehicle Handling Dynamics, Second Edition, provides
comprehensive coverage of vehicle dynamics, enabling readers to
visualize and invent better vehicles. Vehicle Handling Dynamics
begins with an overview of the fundamental theories of vehicle
handling dynamics, based on simple equations of motion. The book
then extends to driver-vehicle behavior, handling quality and
active vehicle motion control. In addition, this new edition
includes two new chapters. Chapter 9 covers vehicle motion control
for electric vehicles, crucial in this new era of automobiles.
Chapter 12 studies the classic issue of model-based handling
quality evaluations (challenging the traditional dependencies on
test drivers for determining a vehicle's drivability). Written by
one of the most distinguished authorities in the area, Vehicle
Handling Dynamics, Second Edition, lends equal and careful
consideration to both theory and application, providing valuable
insights for students of and engineers working in vehicle dynamics
and control.
