Detailed
description of topics:
Complex vehicle modelling (Lagrange). Introduction
into tyre behaviour. Tyre cornering characteristics. Effective axle characteristics.
Simple 2-wheel car model. Non-linear handling properties. Directional stability. Stability
after small and large disturbances. Phase-plane solutions. Separatrices. Theory of
cornering and braking/driving behaviour of tyres. Theoretical and experimental modelling.
Steady-state and dynamic properties. Response to time-varying steer angle. Brake torgue,
wheel load. Application in dynamics of vehicle (sub-)systems: wheel shimmy forced stearing
vibrations, cornering and braking (ABS) on uneven road surfaces, motorcycle stability.
