The approach to vehicle dynamics has changed over time largely due to advances in computing power. The subject has in practice always been computer intensive but the use has changed and modelling of relatively complex vehicle dynamics topics is now possible even on a PC. Indeed it is the very act of creating these models which truly develops ones understanding so it's important to be properly guided through that process. Performance Vehicle Dynamics: Engineering and Applications offers an accessible treatment of the complex material needed to achieve level seven learning outcomes in the field. The reader is given a complete, structured understanding that enables the preparation of useful models for characterization and optimization of performance using the same Automotive or Motorsport industry techniques and approaches. Makes a direct transport of physics and engineering principals into improving the dynamic performance of a vehicle Explains how to numerically and computationally model vehicle dynamicsFeatures the use of cost functions with multi-body modelsDownloadable files and codes available on the book's companion site: booksite.elsevier.com/9780128126936 INDICE: 1.
