Abstract
This is the first in a series of four papers looking at the application of computer-based analysis methods to model vehicles and simulate vehicle handling. The material contained in these papers is based on a study carried out in order to investigate the influence of suspension and tyre modelling on the outputs predicted by vehicle handling simulations. The papers deal with analysis methods, vehicle modelling, tyre modelling and handling simulation. In this paper a review is provided that outlines some of the main contributions leading to the development of models and tools in vehicle dynamics, followed by an overview of the computer-based simulation methodology known as multi-body systems analysis. The way in which multi-body systems analysis can be used to generate models, formulate and solve the equations of motion and post-process the results will be discussed. The examples used to illustrate the concepts explained throughout this series of papers have been generated using the ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems)program.
