Description
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.
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.
Audience
Practicing vehicle design engineers and analysts; Postgraduates in Automotive Engineering. Other undergraduates in civil engineering or transport studies studying automotive option units.
