Contents:
Introduction -- Mechanics of the Wheel with Tire -- Vehicle Model for Handling and Performance -- Braking Performance -- The Kinematics of Cornering -- Handling of Road Cars -- Handling of Race Cars -- Ride Comfort and Road Holding -- Handling with Roll Motion -- Tire Models.
Summary: "This textbook covers handling and performance of both road and race cars. Mathematical models of vehicles are developed always paying attention to state the relevant assumptions and to provide explanations for each step. This innovative approach provides a deep, yet simple, analysis of the dynamics of vehicles. The reader will soon achieve a clear understanding of the subject, which will be of great help both in dealing with the challenges of designing and testing new vehicles and in tackling new research topics. The book deals with several relevant topics in vehicle dynamics that are not discussed elsewhere and this new edition includes thoroughly revised chapters, with new developments, and many worked exercises."
