This book provides a detailed and well-rounded overview of the dynamics of road vehicle systems. Readers will come to understand how physical laws, human factor considerations, and design choices come together to affect a vehicle¿s ride, handling, braking, and acceleration. Following an introduction and general review of dynamics, topics include: analysis of dynamic systems; tire dynamics; ride dynamics; handling dynamics; braking; acceleration; and total vehicle dynamics. The authors¿ emphasis on safety reflects growing consumer interest in vehicle safety. Safety considerations are covered throughout the book, with specific chapters on roll dynamics and accident reconstruction.
