[502]-509) and indexPreface; Nomenclature; Introduction ; Kinematics and Dynamics of Rigid Bodies; Multibody Systems Simulation Software; Modelling and Analysis of Suspension Systems; Tyre Characteristics and Modelling; Modelling and the Assembly of the Full Vehicle; Simulation Output and Interpretation; Active Systems; References; Appendix A-CThis 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. 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. * Full of practical examples and applications * Uses industry standard ADAMS software based applications * Accompanied by downloadable ADAMS models and data sets available from the companion website that enable readers to explore the material in the book * Guides readers from modelling suspension movement through to full vehicle models able to perform handling manoeuvresElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsMotor vehiclesDynamicsMotor vehiclesDynamicsComputer simulationVéhicules automobilesDynamiqueElectronic books.localHarty, Damianauthorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut731173Society of Automotive EngineersOriginal0768014964978076801496907506511219780750651127(OCoLC)56872358Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750651127An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information.b1365331303-03-2224-01-08991003237069707536Multibody systems approach to vehicle dynamics1440358UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engenk00
