Description
This book will be of great interest to any professional engineer or automotive engineering student working on off-road vehicles. Reflecting
the increase in off-road vehicle production and development - recreational, agricultural, construction, military - this book
equips readers with all of the necessary knowledge to successfully design and model off-road vehicle systems, and provides a comprehensive
introduction to terramechanics, the mechanics of vehicle/terrain interaction.
Audience
Professional automotive engineers in the off-road sector; students of automotive engineering, agricultural and mechanical engineering;
mechanical and civil engineers studying soil mechanics; vehicle dynamic specialists
