Description: Conventional vehicle dynamics (e.g., handling/braking/cornering) is focused on low-frequency performance while NVH (noise/vibration/harshness) is focused on high-frequency performance. There is also another area called "ride" (comfort/stability) which focuses on mid-frequency. These three areas in the scope of generalized "vehicle dynamics" are among the most important performances of a vehicle. Other important components that affect vehicle dynamics are tire and road effects. Vehicle/Tire/Road Dynamics: Handling, Ride, and NVH presents the connection between NVH and conventional vehicle dynamics where both tire and road play a key role. In this book, there is a chapter for handling dynamics that provides an introduction to ride dynamics, and a chapter for ride dynamics that provides an introduction to NVH, presenting better coherence and synergy between these major areas of vehicle/tire dynamics. Accompanying the fundamental theories, case studies are given to facilitate comprehension. In addition to the experimental implementations, the state-of-the-art approaches to simulating vehicle/tire dynamics are presented from the viewpoint of both industry and academia. This new book bridges the gap for experts in tire or pavement NVH (also tire-pavement interaction noise) and those who are experts in vehicle dynamics. Presents a closed loop system for vehicle dynamics covering handling, ride, and NVH Provides insights into how intelligent tire will enhance the autonomous vehicle control and optimize multiple performances especially for electric vehicles Demonstrates how pavement characteristics could greatly influence the vehicle handling/ride/NVH and improve/balance these performances
