With all that being said let’s move onto the article and take a look at how we can derive the equations of motion. The link to the textbook can be found here. His textbook provides a methodical and logical approach to vehicle dynamics and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to research further into the subject. Therefore before we begin I would like to say a huge thank you to Professor Guiggiani. He provided me with information from his textbook, The Science of Vehicle Dynamics and has assisted me in my understanding of the dynamic bicycle model. These were very kindly pointed out to me by Professor Guiggiani. In the first version of this article, there were some errors with regards to the understanding of how the equations of motion are derived. This is actually the second revision of this article. Secondly, it does not take any forces acting on the vehicle into account (Hence the name kinematic). However, as the speed increases, the slip angle will begin to play a more significant role which ultimately affects the accuracy of the model. In slow-speed driving conditions this is a fair assumption to make. For instance, it assumes a no-slip condition for the front and rear tyres. This model does well at capturing the motion of a vehicle in normal driving conditions however it does have some constraints. READY TO CFD ANALYSIS.Previously, we looked into what the kinematic bicycle model is and derived the equations of motion that describe it. Number-4: Car for the Hill Climb category a very special car to be analysed by CFD technique and to learn from its aerodynamics. Number-5: 2 Excel templates for the PACEJKA TIRES model:Ĭalculation of Lateral and Longitudinal Friction Curves from Pacejka Coefficients.Įxample of traction circle with tyres modelled by Pacejka, Renault Megane.Īn indispensable Excel to understand this famous mathematical tyre model. Also a doc with the theory needed to understand Lap Time. It’s a simple template (we’ll put much more real ones later). It’s a great Excel to optimise a car in the initial state. Lap Time ideal for learning vehicle dynamics: lower the centre of gravity for example, and see if the car improves or not, change the aerodynamics, etc…. Number-6: LAP-TIME in Excel you can design any circuit with 3 curves and 3 straight lines ¡¡¡¡ Wheel rims, because they are separated from the car in another CAD. Very Accurate CAD model and amazing for testing in CFD. Number-7: Car for the FORMULA E Category a very special car to be analysed by CFD technique and to learn from itsĪerodynamics. This point, as you will see in other Excel templates in other weeks, is essential to know if a vehicle tends to oversteer or understeer. Number-8: Calculation of the CENTRE OF GRAVITY of a vehicle it is a point in 3 dimensions (important) this template allows to calculate it easily, knowing the weights and measures of the vehicle. Number-9: Simple but great Excel Template, to calculate the INSTANT CENTRE AND ROLL CENTRE, from the Pickpoints of the Suspension this location is done graphically and numerically. Number-10: Excel to calculate ANTI-DIVE and ANTI-SQUAD (also ROLL CENTRE) of a suspension 2 very important geometries to keep the vehicle in a stable position, in the processes of ACCELERATION and BRAKING. #VEHICLE DYNAMICS CALCULATOR FREE#In the coming weeks, we will include here, FREE of charge, other templates with other sports and competition cars don’t miss them and stay tuned. MUCH MORE CARS IN OTHERS WEEKS.Įach engineer can modify the engine curves, for example, to convert it into an electric vehicle, the aerodynamic values or the tyres used. Number-11: Template Excel, calculation MAX SPEED, TIME IN 0-100/0-160 Km/h, TIME IN 400/100 m, against gear box, engine curves, clutch, tires, aero, differential. It´s a value in order to know the OVER or UNDER STEERING capabilities of the car. Number-12: Template Excel for Calculating the DYNAMIC INDEX. Lateral acceleration (braking-acceleration / cornering).Īll this also depending on the complete suspension of the car. Number-13: Template Excel for to calculate the weight transferīetween the 4 wheels, depending on the frontal and All the technical SUSPENSION data of the DALLARA GP3 (and more) These data, will be used in other works here, such as POST RIG studies, made by Ignacio Suárez Marcelo, as a specialist Engineer.
