Foreword

This book is an extract of lectures on vehicle dynamics and mechatronic systems in vehicles held at the Helmut-Schmidt-University, University of the Federal Armed Forces, Hamburg, Germany. The lectures have been held since 2002 (Vehicle Dynamics) and 2009 (Vehicle Mechatronics). The book is an introduction to the field of vehicle dynamics and most parts of the book should be comprehensible to undergraduate students with a knowledge of basic mathematics and engineering mechanics at the end of their Bachelor studies in mechanical engineering. However, some parts require advanced methods which are taught in graduate studies (Master programme in mechanical engineering).

Series Preface

The automobile is a critical element of any society, and the dynamic performance of the vehicle is a key aspect regarding its value proposition. Furthermore, vehicle dynamics have been studied for many years, and provide a plethora of opportunities for the instructor to teach her students a wide variety of concepts. Not only are these dynamics fundamental to the transportation sector, they are quite elegant in nature linking various aspects of kinematics, dynamics and physics, and form the basis of some of the most impressive machines that have ever been engineered.

Vehicle Dynamics is a comprehensive text of the dynamics, modeling and control of not only the entire vehicle system, but also key elements of the vehicle such as transmissions, and hybrid systems integration. The text provides a comprehensive overview of key classical elements of the vehicle, as well as modern twenty-first century concepts that have only recently been implemented on the most modern commercial vehicles. The topics covered in this text range from basic vehicle rigid body kinematics and wheel dynamic analysis, to advanced concepts in cruise control, hybrid powertrain design and analysis and multi-body systems. This text is part of the Automotive Series whose primary goal is to publish practical and topical books for researchers and practitioners in industry, and post-graduate/advanced undergraduates in automotive engineering. The series addresses new and emerging technologies in automotive engineering supporting the development of next generation transportation systems. The series covers a wide range of topics, including design, modelling and manufacturing, and it provides a source of relevant information that will be of interest and benefit to people working in the field of automotive engineering.

Vehicle Dynamics presents a number of different designs, analysis and implementation considerations related to automobiles including power requirements, converters, performance, fuel consumption and vehicle dynamic models. The text is written from a very pragmatic perspective, based on the author's extensive experience. The book is written such that it is useful for both undergraduate and post-graduate courses, and is also an excellent reference text for those practicing automotive systems design and engineering, in the field. The text spans a wide spectrum of concepts that are critical to the understanding of vehicle performance, making this book welcome addition to the Automotive Series.

Preface

This books covers the main parts of vehicle dynamics, which is divided into three topics: longitudinal, vertical and lateral dynamics. It also explains some applications, especially those with a mechatronic background, and outlines some components.

Figure 1 provides an overview of the chapters of the book. The main parts (longitudinal, vertical and lateral) as well as applications and component chapters are grouped together. Many principal aspects of dynamics are explained by using simple mechanical models (e.g. quarter-vehicle model and single-track model). As the virtual development process with very complex multi-body systems (MBS) is used in the design of modern cars, this simulation technique is described very briefly in the last chapter. Although these MBS models are able to predict many details, the user of such models should understand the principles of how vehicles behave, and the main theory behind dynamic behaviour. It is therefore important to learn the basic dynamic behaviour using the simple models described in this book.

Figure 1 Chapters of the book

Chapter 1 contains some general data for vehicles. These remarks are followed by an introduction to some of the basics of frames and axis systems. This introduction should be read by everyone. Following this are the three groups of longitudinal, vertical and lateral dynamics, which are largely independent. The longitudinal and the vertical parts are completely independent of the other parts and may be read and understood without any knowledge of the other parts. The third group, containing the lateral dynamics part, includes a number of aspects that may be difficult to understand without first reading the longitudinal or the vertical part.

The application chapters can only partly be understood without reading the corresponding theory chapter. Readers are therefore recommended to start with the basic parts: the basics for Chapters 7 (Hybrid Powertrains), 8 (Adaptive Cruise Control) and 17 (Torque and Speed Converters) can be found in the longitudinal dynamics chapters, while lateral dynamics is important for Chapter 16 (Suspension Systems), in the case of Chapter 18 (Shock Absorbers, Springs and Brakes) a knowledge is required of vertical dynamics as well as some aspects of longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Chapter 19 (Active Longitudinal and Lateral Systems), as the name reveals, involves longitudinal and lateral aspects. Chapter 20 is nearly independent of the theoretical considerations.

Figure 1 includes the letters B and M, which stand for Bachelor and Master, behind every chapter. Chapters of level B should be comprehensible for undergraduate students with a knowledge of engineering mechanics and mathematics at the end of their Bachelor studies in mechanical engineering. Topics covered are: algebra; trigonometric functions; differential calculus; linear algebra; vectors; coordinate systems; force, torque, equilibrium; mass, centre of mass, moment of inertia; method of sections, friction, Newton's laws, Lagrange's equation. In chapters followed by level M, an advanced knowledge is useful, as is usually taught to graduate students: ordinary differential equations (ODE), stability of ODEs, Laplace transformation, Fourier transformation, stochastic description of uneven roads and spectral densities.

At the end of nearly each chapter, you will find some questions and exercises. These are for monitoring learning progress or for applying the material learned to some small problems. For this reason, the questions and tasks are arranged in classesaccording to Bloom's taxonomy of learning (cf. Figure 2).

Figure 2 Bloom's taxonomy of learning

The simplest class is Remembering, which means that you only have to remember the correct content (e.g. a definition or a formula). You should be able to answer the questions of the second class Understanding if you have understood the content. The tasks of the third class Application involve applying the content to some unknown problem. The remaining three classes Analysing, Evaluating and Creating are more suited to extended student works, such as Bachelor or Master theses, and are therefore rarely included in this book.

Chapter 1Introduction

Automobiles have been used for over 100 years for the transportation of people and goods. Despite this long period, essential elements of an automobile have in principle remained the same, i.e. four wheels and an internal combustion engine with a torque converter drive. However, the technical details of an automobile have changed a great deal, and the complexity has increased substantially. This has partly gone hand in hand with general technical progress, on the one hand, and increasing customer demands, on the other. Legal requirements have also led to distinct changes in automobiles.

The importance of automobiles becomes evident when we look at the graphs in Figures 1.1–1.4. You should bear in mind that the abscissas of most graphs are partitioned logarithmically. The quantity, the distances travelled and the distances travelled per capita are at a very high level, or these values are increasing at a high rate. If we look at some European countries or the United States of America, we can recognize stagnation at a high level, whereas emerging economies exhibit high rates of growth. The need to develop new, economic and ecological vehicles is evident. In order to do this, engineers should be familiar with the basic properties of automobiles. As the automobile is something which moves and which not only moves forward at a constant velocity, but also dynamic behaviour depends on these basic properties. Consequently, the basic dynamic properties form the main topic of this book.

Figure 1.1 Passenger cars (and light trucks in US) per 1000 inhabitants (data from OECD 2014)

Figure 1.2 Road passenger km (million pkm) (data from OECD 2014)

Figure 1.3 Passenger km/capita (data from OECD 2014)

Figure 1.4 International Energy Agency (IEA) CO2 from fuel combustion (Mt) in Road Transport (data from OECD 2014)

The ecological aspect could be a dramatic limiting factor in the development of vehicles throughout the world. If the number of cars per 1000 inhabitants in China and Hong Kong grows from 22 in the year 2007 to 816, which is the number in the USA, then this represents a factor of 40. If we now multiply the CO2 emissions of the USA from the year 2007 by 40, we obtain around 57 000 Mt, which is 12 times the world CO emissions from fuel combustion in road transport for the year 2007. This seems to be very high (or perhaps too high), and vehicles with lower fuel consumption or hybrid or electric powertrains will have to be developed and improved in the coming decades.

The presentation of the most important buying criteria in Figure 1.5 highlights the ecological and economic aspects as well as safety, handling behaviour and comfort. The last three points, namely safety, handling behaviour and comfort, are strongly linked with the driving dynamics and suspension, making these aspects of particular importance in the automotive industry. Safety is generally subdivided into active safety (active safety systems help to avoid accidents) and passive safety (passive safety systems protect the occupants during an accident).

Figure 1.5 Importance of purchase criteria (Braess and Seiffert 2001)

It is evident that the dynamics of the vehicle is of crucial importance because of the impact on active safety; handling behaviour and comfort are also closely associated with the properties of vehicle dynamics. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on the aspect of dynamics in this course.

The aim of this course is to define and identify the basic concepts and relationships that are necessary for understanding the dynamics of a motor vehicle.

The content of this textbook is limited to the essentials, and the course closely follows the monograph of Mitschke and Wallentowitz 2004 (German). Further recommended reading can be found in the bibliography at the end of this book, e.g. Heissing and Ersoy 2011, Dukkipati et al. 2008, Gillespie 1992, Jazar 2014, or Reimpell et al. 2001.

1.1 Introductory Remarks

The content of this book is divided into four parts: longitudinal dynamics, vertical dynamics, lateral dynamics and structural design of vehicle components and automotive mechatronic systems. Longitudinal dynamics is included in Chapters 2–7, which discuss the process of acceleration and braking. Key importance here is given to the total running resistance, the demand and supply of power and the driving state diagrams. In Chapters 7 and 8, additional systems of longitudinal dynamics are described: alternative powertrains and adaptive cruise control systems. In Chapters 9 and 10, the behaviour of the vehicle when driving on an uneven surface is explained in the context of vertical dynamics. These chapters study the basics of the theory of oscillations and the influence of vibrations on humans. Lateral dynamics, the contents of Chapters 11–15, describes the handling behaviour of a vehicle during cornering. Important concepts such as slip, oversteer and understeer, toe and camber angle are explained. It deals with the influence of wheel load on the handling behaviour.

Chapters 16–19 highlight the engineering design (structural) aspects of an automobile. In addition to speed and torque converters, they also discuss brakes and chassis elements of active safety systems, such as anti-lock braking system (ABS), anti-slip regulation (ASR) and electronic stability programme (ESP). In Chapter 20, multi-body systems (MBS) are explained. MBS are computational models which allow more precise calculations of the dynamic behaviour of vehicles.
