Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Correlation with Field Maneuvers

Analytical models correlation for vehicle dynamic handling properties

“…On the other extreme, there are papers in the literature that present the comparison of physical measurements with the results of much more complex multibody models for non-linear dynamic manoeuvres, making usage of commercial multibody software packages, as it has been done using ADAMS® in previous works by Vilela (2001) and Prado et al (2001). Rill (2006) and Adamski et al (1999) describe in more details how some of these more complex multibody models work, showing the benefits of the flexibility that these models allow to the design engineer.…”

Numerical optimisation methods applied to the concurrent problem of vehicle ride and handling

“…Another possibility for the design engineer is to consider a detailed multibody model, making use of commercial multibody software packages, as it has been done using ADAMS ® in works by Rongshan et al (2010), Wu et al (2009), Vilela (2001) and Prado et al (2001) -this is currently a widely disseminated approach. By adopting these more complex models the engineer can get very accurate results for the vehicle dynamics response - Rill (2006) and Adamski et al (1999) describe in more detail how some of these multibody models work, showing the benefits of the flexibility they bring to the design engineer.…”
