Garrett T.K., Newton K., Steeds W. The motor vehicle

Elsevier, 2004. 518 p. ISBN: 0750651121 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 t...

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2001. 304 p. ISBN:0750651342 "Motor Vehicle Structures" has been written as a unified textbook dealing with the structural mechanics of the mass produced integral passenger car body. It provides a clear and concise explanation of load paths in the vehicle body-in-white (BIW), based on engineering first principles. This is then used as a basis for an in-depth discussion of the conceptual design of car structures, using cas...

Society of Automotive Engineers Inc, 1992. 519 p. ISBN-10:1560911999 The first book providing comprehensive coverage of vehicle dynamics in a single volume, Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics provides a foundation of engineering principles and analytical methods to explain the performance of an automotive vehicle, with chapters focusing on: acceleration performance; braking performance; aerodynamics and rolling resistance; ride; tires; steady-sta...

CRC Press, 2002. 504 p. ISBN:0-8493-0104-1. Governed by strict regulations and the intricate balance of complex interactions among variables, the application of mechanics to vehicle crashworthiness is not a simple task. It demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals, careful analysis, and practical knowledge of the tools and techniques of that analysis. Vehicle Crash Mechanics sets forth the basic principles of engineering mechanics and a...

Springer, 2008. 1015 p. ISBN: 0387742433 (на английском языке) Vehicle Dynamics: Theory and Application is written as a textbook for senior undergraduate and first year graduate students in mechanical engineering. It provides both fundamental and advanced topics on handling, ride, components, and behavior of vehicles. This book includes detailed coverage of practical design considerations and a vast number of practical examples and exercises.

2nd edition, SAE International, 2005. 642 p. Tire and Vehicle Dynamics provides a complete reference on the mechanical behavior of pneumatic tires and their impact on vehicle performance. The comprehensive scope of the book includes developing an understanding of mathematical models of tire behavior, the incorporation of these models into vehicle models, and presenting an applied understanding of how the tire influences vehicle behavior. The bo...

Springer, 2010. 366 p. ISBN-10:3540240381 Ground Vehicle Dynamics is devoted to the mathematical modelling and dynamical analysis of ground vehicle systems composed of the vehicle body, the guidance and suspension devices and the corresponding guideway. Automobiles on uneven roads and railways on flexible tracks are prominent representatives of ground vehicle systems. All these different kinds of systems are treated in a common way by means of...

CRC Press, 2010. 434p. ISBN:978-1-4398-3133-5. High standards of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance are expected in vehicle design. Refinement is therefore one of the main engineering/design attributes to be addressed when developing new vehicle models and components. This book provides a review of noise and vibration refinement principles, methods, advanced experimental and modeling techniques and palliative treatments necessary...
