| Summary | Annotation This is the first book to comprehensively bridge the gap between classical vehicle dynamics and the widely-used, computer-based technique of Multibody Systems analysis (MBS). MBS is firmly established as a key part of all modern vehicle design and development processes; any engineer working on problems involving vehicle ride or handling will use MBS to simulate vehicle motion.<br /><br />Suitable for use both as a teaching text and 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 academic in the field (who himself has considerable practical experience) and the chief dynamics engineer of Prodrive, the pre-eminent rally, race and road technology organization, the book has a unique blend of theory and practice that will be of immense value in this applications based field.<br /><br />* Full of practical examples and applications<br />* Uses industry standard ADAMS software based applications<br />* Accompanied by downloadable ADAMS models and data sets available from the companion website that enable readers to explore the material in the book<br />* Guides readers from modelling suspension movement through to full vehicle models able to perform handling manoeuvres |
