Creating a Car Model for Turning: Dynamics Knowledge Needed

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on creating a car model for turning dynamics, specifically focusing on the forces applied to the wheels. A user seeks resources to enhance their understanding of vehicle dynamics, leading to a recommendation of a specific PDF document from an automotive class at Texas Tech University. This document serves as a foundational resource for understanding the principles of vehicle dynamics necessary for modeling car turning behavior.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of vehicle dynamics
  • Familiarity with automotive engineering concepts
  • Knowledge of force analysis in mechanical systems
  • Access to academic resources or textbooks on vehicle dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Read the PDF document on vehicle dynamics provided in the discussion
  • Explore textbooks on automotive engineering, focusing on dynamics
  • Research the principles of force application in turning vehicles

I'm trying to create a model for a car turning to make a differential (I need forces aplied on the wheel, and all other things) but I don't have enough knowledge of dynamics to do that. Does someone know a book(s), papers or sites with good explanation about that?

Try that file. Those are notes from an automotive class being offered at my university. I can't tell you how long those will be up so you may want to save them.

Hope this helps.
