Features: This book serves as a foundational guide for studying vehicle-road system dynamics (including vehicle dynamics and control, vehicle-road interaction, and other aspects) using virtual prototype technology and related software such as MSC.ADAMS. The main content of the book includes:
An introduction to virtual prototype technology and related software like MSC.ADAMS;
Virtual prototype modeling methods for vehicle systems;
Virtual prototype simulation of vehicle dynamics (including qualitative simulation and analysis of vehicle handling, simulation and analysis of vehicle ride comfort, etc.);
Simulation of vehicle-road interaction forces and road response;
Road damage evaluation and measures to reduce vehicle-induced road damage;
Active control technologies in vehicle-road system dynamics.
The book emphasizes the integration of theory with practice and addresses specific engineering problems. It is structured in a "project-driven" format, with chapters organized according to the basic steps of applying virtual prototype technology to study vehicle dynamics and vehicle-road interaction. Practical examples are provided, demonstrating comprehensive engineering applications, and each chapter follows these steps to form a systematic and complete methodology for such projects, enabling readers to learn and apply the techniques presented in the book.
This book can serve as a teaching resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering (primarily mechanical design and theory, and vehicle engineering) and transportation engineering (primarily road engineering) courses on virtual prototype technology, MSC.ADAMS, vehicle dynamics, automotive design, pavement engineering, and pavement design. It is also suitable for reference by engineering professionals and government policy-making departments.
