accident in history.

 Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler (1886)
o First practical automotive powered by gasoline engine
 1900s
o Automotive vehicle were develop by many other pioneer such as
Rene Panhard, Armand Peugeot, Henry ford and other.
 1908
o Automotive industry was well established in United State with Henry
Ford manufacturing the model T
o General Motors Corporation being founded.
o In Europe the familiar company like Daimler, Opel, Renault, Benz
and Peugeot were recognized as automotive manufacturer
 A knowledge of the FORCE and MOMENTS generated by
pneumatic (rubber) tires at the ground is essential to
understanding highway vehicle dynamics.
 Ships, airplanes, railroad train and track-laying vehicle
(rubber tires vehicles) FOCUS
 Performance of a vehicle (motions in accelerating, braking,

cornering and ride)
 2 level of understanding vehicle dynamics:
o Empirical (derive from trial and error )
o Analytical (describe the mechanics of interest based on the known
laws of physics )
 Concerned with the movements of vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, buses and special purpose vehicle) on a road
surface.
 Movements of interest are acceleration and braking, ride
and turning.
 Dynamic behavior = force imposed on the vehicle from tires,
gravity and aerodynamics
 Vehicle and components are studied to determine what
kind of force will produced by each of these sources and
how the vehicle will respond to these force.
 Lumped mass located at vehicle center of gravity (CG) with
appropriate mass and inertia properties
 For acceleration, braking and most turning analysis, ONE
MASS is sufficient.
 For ride analysis, it is often to treat wheels as separately
(lumped mass = sprung mass, wheel = unsprung mass).
.Sprung mass Lumped mass
Mass that is supported
above the suspension
Unsprung mass
Mass of the suspension,
wheel and other component Figure 2: SAE vehicle Axis System
directly connected to them.
 Base on right-hand orthogonal coordinate system (origin in
CG and travel with vehicle)
 By SAE ( figure 2) convention the coordinate are:
o x – Forward and on the longitudinal plane of symmetry
o y – Lateral out the right side of vehicle
o z – Downward with respect to the vehicle
o p – Roll velocity about the x – axis Figure 3: Vehicle axis system
o q - Pitch velocity about y – axis

o r - Yaw velocity about z – axis
 Vehicle motion is usually describe by the velocities:
o Forward
o Lateral
o Vertical
o Roll
o Pitch
o Yaw
Respect to the fix coordinate system where the velocities are

referenced to the earth fix coordinate system,
 Vehicle attitude and trajectory through the course of a
maneuver defined with the respect to a right – hand
orthogonal axis system fixed on the earth.
 The coordinate are:
o X – Forward travel
o Y – Travel to right
o Z – Vertical travel (positive downward)
o Ψ – Heading angle (angle between x and X in the ground plane)
o ν - Course angle (angle between the vehicle’s vector and X axis)
o β – Sideslip angle ( angle between x axis and the vehicle velocity
vector)
X – Forward travel
Y – Travel to right
Z – Vertical travel
Ψ – Heading angle
ν - Course angle
β – Sideslip angle
Figure 4: Vehicle in an Earth Fixed Coordinate system

 Define as relationship of the vehicle fixed coordinate
system to the earth fixed coordinate system.
 Determine by a sequence of three angular rotations:
o Earth fixed system (beginning)
o Yaw, around z axis, (1st angular rotation)
o Pitch, around y axis, (2nd angular rotation)
o Roll, around x axis, (3rd angular rotation)
 Define as act on the vehicle
 Longitudinal (x axis) positive force, direction on the vehicle
is forward (←).
 Load on tire (z axis) positive force, direction is upward(↑).
Figure 5: Force acting on vehicle

 Fundamental law from most vehicle dynamic begin.
 Applies on translational system and rotational system.
 Translational system
o The sum of the external force acting on a body in a given direction is
equal to the product of its mass and the acceleration in that
direction (assuming the mass id fixed)
o σ 𝐹𝑥 = 𝑀. 𝑎𝑥 where; 𝐹𝑥 = force in the x-direction,
M = mass of the body
𝑎𝑥 = acceleration in the x – direction
 Rotational system
o The sum of the torques acting on a body about a given axis is equal
to the product of its rotational moment of inertia and the rotational
acceleration about that axis.
o σ 𝑇𝑥 = 𝐼𝑥𝑥 . ∝𝑥 where; 𝑇𝑥 = torques about the x-axis
𝐼𝑥𝑥 = moment of inertia about x–axis
∝𝑥 = acceleration about x-axis
 Consider the vehicle in figure, in which most of the
significant force on the vehicle.

o 𝑊𝑟 = (eq )4
𝐿
 Static Load on Ground
o When the vehicle sits statically on level ground, the load equations
simplify considerably. The sine is zero and he cosine is one, and the
variable s 𝑅ℎ𝑥 , 𝑅ℎ𝑧 , 𝑎𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝐴 are zero. Thus:
𝑐
𝑊𝑓𝑠 = 𝑊 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑡 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑡
𝐿
𝑏
𝑊𝑟𝑠 = 𝑊 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑟
𝐿
 Low Speed Acceleration
o When the vehicle is accelerating on level ground at a low speed,
such that 𝐷𝐴 is zero, the load on the axles are:, sin 1≈ 0, cos 1≈ 1,
𝑅ℎ𝑥 = 𝑅ℎ𝑧 ≈ 0

 Load on Grades
o Grade define as the “rise’” over the “run”. The ratio is the tangent of
the grade angle, θ.
o The common grade in highway are limited to 4% and on primary and
secondary road can reach 10% to 12%.
o Assume cos θ = 0.99++ ≈ 1
o Assume sin θ ≈ θ
o So that:

 The curb weight of a Continental 4-door sedan without
passenger are 1049 kg on the front axel and 560 kg on the
rear. The wheelbase, L is 277cm. Determine the fore/ aft
position of the center of gravity for the vehicle.
 The fore/aft position of the CG is defined by either
parameter c or b, which apply to a vehicle sitting at rest on
level ground.
𝑏 𝐿 560 × 277
𝑊𝑟𝑠 = 𝑊 , 𝑏 = 𝑊𝑟𝑠 = = 96.41 𝑐𝑚
𝐿 𝑊 1049 + 560
𝑐 𝐿 1049 × 277
𝑊𝑓𝑠 = 𝑊 , 𝑐 = 𝑊𝑓𝑠 = = 180.59 𝑐𝑚
𝐿 𝑊 1049 + 560
 So that, the CG of the vehicle is 96.41 cm aft of the front

axle and 180.59 cm fore of the rear axle.
 The Taurus GL sedan with 3.0L engine accelerates from a
standing start up a 6 percent grade at an acceleration
6 𝑚/𝑠 2 . Find the load distribution on the axles at this
condition. Given the curb weight are 884 kg on the front
axel and 498 kg on the rear; the wheelbase is 265 cm and
front passenger’s weight is distributed 49 percent on the
front axle and 51 percent on rear. Assuming a 100kg driver
and CG height, h is 50 cm.
 So that;
𝑊𝑓𝑠 = 884 + 49 = 933 𝑘𝑔 , 𝑊𝑟𝑠 = 498 + 51 = 549 𝑘𝑔
𝑊 = 1482 𝑘𝑔
𝑏 𝐿 549 × 265
𝑊𝑟𝑠 = 𝑊 , 𝑏 = 𝑊𝑟𝑠 = = 98.17 𝑐𝑚
𝐿 𝑊 1482
𝑐 𝐿 933 × 265
𝑊𝑓𝑠 = 𝑊 , 𝑐 = 𝑊𝑓𝑠 = = 166.82 𝑐𝑚
𝐿 𝑊 1482
tan 𝜃 = 0.06 ; 𝜃 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 0.06 = 3.434𝑜

 So that;
 From eq 3 and Eq 4
ℎ
𝑊(𝑐 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 − 𝑔𝑎𝑥 − ℎ sin 𝜃 )
𝑊𝑓 = = 743.49 𝑘𝑔
𝐿
ℎ
𝑊(𝑐 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 − 𝑎 −ℎ sin 𝜃 )
𝑔 𝑥
𝑊𝑟 = = 735.77 𝑘𝑔
𝐿
𝑊𝑓 + 𝑊𝑟 = 1479.26 𝑘𝑔
