Fundamental Definitions
Vehicle Dynamics Physical condition Dynamic behavior

It concerns with the movements of vehicles on a road surface Acceleration and braking, ride, and turning Forces on the vehicle due to tires, gravity, and aerodynamics. Vehicle and its components are studied to determine forces produced by the sources at particular maneuver and trim condition How the vehicle responds to these forces.

Objective
Representation One mass approximation Located at its C.G. For acceleration, braking, and most turning analysis.

Two masses approximation

For ride analysis, wheels are treated as separate lumped masses


Body mass as sprung mass. Wheel mass as unsprung mass.

Vehicle Dynamics Interaction


Vehicle dynamics
Isolation Control

Separating driver from the disturbances


Internally generated disturbance
Externally generated disturbance

It implies the rejection of disturbance


Path

Absence of disturbance amplification


Speed

Engine vibration and noise

Aerodynamic interaction (crosswinds, wakes, etc)

Road undulation
Vertical Longitudinal Lateral Refinement Ride

Stability Agility Fidelity Linearity
