Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Vehicle dynamics should be a branch of Dynamics, but, in my opinion, too often it does not look like that Dynamics is based on terse concepts and rigorous reasoning, whereas the typical approach to vehicle dynamics is much more intuitive Qualitative reasoning and intuition are certainly very valuable, but they should be supported and confirmed by scientific and quantitative results I understand that vehicle dynamics is, perhaps, the most popular branch of Dynamics Almost everybody has been involved in discussions about some aspects of the dynamical behavior of a vehicle (how to brake, how to negotiate a bend at high speed, which tires give best performance, etc.) At this level, we cannot expect a deep knowledge of the dynamical behavior of a vehicle But there are people who could greatly benefit from mastering vehicle dynamics From having clear concepts in mind From having a deep understanding of the main phenomena This book is intended for those people who want to build their knowledge on sound explanations, who believe equations are the best way to formulate and, hopefully, solve problems Of course along with physical reasoning and intuition I have been constantly alert not to give anything for granted This attitude has led to criticize some classical concepts, such as self-aligning torque, roll axis, understeer gradient, handling diagram I hope that even very experienced people will find the book interesting At the same time, less experienced readers should find the matter explained in a way easy to absorb, yet profound Quickly, I wish, they will feel not so less experienced any more Acknowledgments Over the last few years I have had interactions and discussions with several engineers from Ferrari Formula The problems they constantly have to face have been among the motivations for writing this book Moreover, their deep knowledge of vehicle dynamics has been a source of inspiration I would like to express my gratitude to Maurizio Bocchi, Giacomo Tortora, Carlo Miano, Marco Fainello, Tito Amato (presently at Mercedes), and Gabriele Pieraccini (presently at Bosch) I wish to thank Dallara Automobili and, in particular, Andrea Toso, Alessandro Moroni, and Luca Bergianti They have helped me in many ways v vi Preface At the Università di Pisa there are an M.S degree course in Vehicle Engineering (where I teach Vehicle Dynamics) and a Ph D program in Vehicle Engineering and Transportation Systems This very lively environment has played a crucial role in the development of some of the most innovative topics in this book In particular, I wish to acknowledge the contribution of my colleague Francesco Frendo, and of my former Ph D students Antonio Sponziello, Riccardo Bartolozzi, and Francesco Bucchi Francesco Frendo and Riccardo Bartolozzi have also reviewed part of this book During the last six years I have been the Faculty Advisor of E-Team, the Formula Student team of the Università di Pisa I thank all the team members It has been a very interesting and rewarding experience, both professionally and personally Testing real vehicles is essential to understand vehicle dynamics I wish to thank Danilo Tonani, director of FormulaGuidaSicura, for having given me the opportunity of becoming a safe driving instructor Every year, he organizes an excellent safe driving course for the M.S students in Vehicle Engineering of the Università di Pisa My collaborators and dear friends Alessio Artoni and Marco Gabiccini have carefully reviewed this book I am most grateful

relevant the effect of the bristle deflection in that direction Since wx  wy , the transient behavior in the bristle deflection pattern has more influence when the wheel is subject to time-varying longitudinal slip For instance, with the data reported at p 302, we have θx = and θy = 0.25 10.8.3 Numerical Examples The proposed models for the transient behavior of tires are compared on a few numerical tests The goal is to show the range of applicability and to warn about employing a model without really understanding its capabilities In particular, three models of increasing complexity are compared All tests are performed with the data listed in (10.43), except for χ = 0, and under either pure longitudinal slip or pure lateral slip Moreover, a brush model with rectangular contact patch and parabolic pressure distribution is assumed The first model (semi-nonlinear single contact point) takes into account only the carcass compliance and employs a constant relaxation length si , with i = x, y According to (10.115), the model is defined by si ρ˙i + Vr ρi = Vr σi (10.130) ρi (0) = where si = Cσ /wi , with Cσ = 4ka b as in (10.74) Once the function ρi (t) has been obtained, the global tangential force is given by the nonlinear function     |ρi | ρi Fi (ρi ) = −Cσ ρi − (10.131) + σs σs much like in (10.89) with (10.95) The second model (nonlinear single contact point) is similar, but employs a nonconstant relaxation length, as in (10.112) ⎧ ⎪ ⎨ − Fi (ρi ) ρ˙i + Vr ρi = Vr σi wi (10.132) ⎪ ⎩ ρi (0) = where (cf (10.96) with χ = 0) Fi (ρi ) = −Cσ   2  |ρi | ρi 1−2 + σs σs (10.133) 342 10 Tire Models A numerical solution is usually required Again, the function ρi (t) is then inserted into (10.131) The third model (nonlinear full contact patch) takes into account both the carcass and tread compliances, as in (10.128) ⎧ Vr ei,xˆ − ei,t = Vr ρi ⎪ ⎪ ⎪   ⎪    ⎪ ⎪ k ei xˆs (t), t  = μp xˆs (t) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ wi σi (t) − 2bkei (xˆs (t), t) (10.134) ρi (t) = ⎪ wi + 2bk(a − xˆs (t)) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ei (a, t) = ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ei (x, ˆ 0) = To obtain a numerical solution, an iterative method can be employed First make an initial guess for ρi(0) (t) (for instance ρi(0) (t) = (σi (t) + ρis (t))/2, where ρis (t) is the (0) ˆ t), solution of (10.130)) By means of the first equation, numerically obtain ex (x, (0) and then, using the second equation, evaluate the function xˆs At this stage, the (1) first iteration can be completed by computing ρi (t) by means of the third equation The whole procedure has to be repeated (usually to 15 times) until convergence is attained ˆ t) and xˆs (t) (and also of ρi (t)) has been Once a good approximation of ei (x, computed, the tangential force can be obtained from the following integral over the contact patch  Fi (t) = 2bk a xˆs (t)    ei (x, ˆ t)dxˆ + μ sign ei xˆs (t), t  xˆs (t) −a  p(x)d ˆ xˆ (10.135) A step change in the input (forcing) function σi (t) works well to highlight the differences between the three models With the data of (10.43), except χ = 0, the static tangential force (10.131) has maximum magnitude for σ = 0.266 To test the models in both the (almost) linear and nonlinear ranges, a small (σi = −0.07) and a large (σi = −0.21) step have been selected Since wx = 4wy , both longitudinal and lateral numerical tests are performed In all cases, results are plotted versus the rolling distance s, instead of time, thus making Vr (t) irrelevant 10.8.3.1 Longitudinal Step Input The longitudinal force Fx (s), as obtained from the three tire models with step inputs σx = −0.07 and σx = −0.21, is shown in Fig 10.44 Because of the high value of the longitudinal carcass stiffness wx (equal to the tread stiffness Kt ), the transient phenomenon is quite fast Indeed, in the first model (dashed line) the relaxation length sx = 7.5 cm 10.8 Brush Model Transient Behavior 343 Fig 10.44 Longitudinal force response to small and large step changes in σx Comparison of three tire models: semi-nonlinear single contact point (dashed line), nonlinear single contact point (dot-dashed line), nonlinear full contact patch (solid line) Fig 10.45 Transient patterns of the tangential stress tx in the contact patch (third model) Quite remarkably, the three models provide very different results, thus showing that the selection of the transient tire model may be a crucial aspect in vehicle dynamics, particularly when considering vehicles equipped with ABS The behavior of the first model (dashed lines) is the same in both cases, except for a vertical scaling This is not the case for the second model (dot-dashed lines) because of the nonconstant generalized relaxation length The more detailed third model (solid lines) behaves in quite a peculiar way, thus confirming that the contribution of the transient tread deflection is far from negligible Figure 10.45 shows the transient pattern of the tangential longitudinal stress tx in the contact patch as provided by the third model with σx = −0.21 It is worth noting how greatly, in the adhesion region, the pattern departs from the linear behavior of the static case (Fig 10.10) 10.8.3.2 Lateral Step Input The lateral force Fy (s), as obtained from the three tire models with step inputs σy = −0.07 and σy = −0.21, is shown in Fig 10.46 Because of the low value of the lateral carcass stiffness wy (equal to one fourth of the tread stiffness Kt ), the transient phenomenon is not as fast as in the longitudinal case Indeed, in the first model the relaxation length sy = 30 cm In this case, the three models provide not very different results in the linear range, while they depart significantly in the nonlinear range, that is with σy = −0.21 Therefore, the selection of the transient tire model may be crucial in lateral dynamics as well 344 10 Tire Models Fig 10.46 Lateral force response to small and large step changes in σy Comparison of three tire models: semi-nonlinear single contact point (dashed line), nonlinear single contact point (dot-dashed line), nonlinear full contact patch (solid line) Fig 10.47 Transient patterns of the tangential stress ty in the contact patch (third model) It should be observed from Figs 10.44 and 10.46 that the first and second models have the same “formal” behavior Therefore, changing the carcass stiffness results only in a horizontal scaling This is not true for the third model Figure 10.47 shows the transient pattern of the tangential lateral stress in the contact patch as provided by the third model with σy = −0.21 There are still differences with respect to the static case, although not as much as in Fig 10.45 10.9 Summary In this chapter a relatively simple, yet significant, tire model has been developed It is basically a brush model, but with some noteworthy additions with respect to more common formulations For instance, the model takes care of the transient phenomena that occur in the contact patch A number of figures show the pattern of the local actions within the contact patch (rectangular and elliptical) 10.10 List of Some Relevant Concepts p 299 the skating slip takes into account both transient translational slip and spin slip; p 304 each bristle is undeformed when it enters the contact patch; References 345 p 312 the analysis of the steady-state behavior of the brush model is quite simple if there is no spin slip; p 318 full sliding does not imply wheel locking; p 322 the slip angle α is not a good parameter for a neat description of tire mechanics; p 323 tires have to be built in such a way to provide the maximum tangential force in any direction with small slip angles This is a fundamental requirement for a wheel with tire to have a directional capability; p 324 the tire action surface summarizes the tire characteristics under a constant vertical load; p 326 the tire action surface summarizes the steady-state behavior of a tire; p 332 good wheel directional capability means small slip angles References Clark SK (ed) (1971) Mechanics
