Tire and Vehicle Dynamics (eBook)

In this new paperback edition of Tire 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.

• Written by a world expert in tyre dynamics
• Covers both basic and advanced tyre modelling and simulation, including case studies of application examples and chapter exercises
• Indispensable for any engineer working in vehicle system dynamics and for any industry involving equipment with tyres
