Railway vehicle dynamics and contact mechanics are critical disciplines that underpin the safe and efficient operation of rail transport systems. These fields focus on the dynamic behaviour of ...

Learn the simulation skills needed for meeting vehicle performance requirements. Get an automotive engineering grip on lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics. Vehicle dynamics is more than vehicle ...

This paper discusses the development of the 1997 Jeep Cherokee model for the National Advanced Driving Simulator's planned vehicle dynamics software, NADSdyna. Recursive rigid body formalism called ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – A new safety training course is on the horizon for employees who are responsible for maneuvering large military vehicles at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center. The ...

An analysis is made of the influence of tire-mechanics characteristics on the behavior of an automobile undergoing maneuvers requiring the tires to produce combined longitudinal and lateral forces.

This class covers the foundations of rigid multi-body mechanics. Topics include geometry of rigid bodies, rotating bodies, Lagrangian mechanics and variational principles, conservation of energy and ...
