Description
In this new paperback edition of Tyre and Vehicle Dynamics, theory is supported by practical and experimental evidence. Pacejka provides both basic and advanced explanations of the pneumatic tyre and its impact on vehicle dynamic performance. The book shows the way in which tyre models are incorporated in vehicle models and how important tyre influence is on overall vehicle behaviour. Those working in any industry involving equipment with tyres will continue to find this book both extremely relevant and useful.

Audience:
Mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, vehicle designers, dynamic specialists, tyre engineers in the automotive and other transportation industries including aircraft undercarriage design; Students of automotive engineering at post-graduate/masters level
