The textbook is divided into four parts, covering all the essential aspects of vehicle dynamics:
- Vehicle Motion: covers tire dynamics, forward vehicle dynamics, and driveline dynamics Vehicle
- Kinematics: covers applied kinematics, applied mechanisms, steering dynamics, and suspension mechanisms Vehicle Dynamics: covers applied dynamics, vehicle planar dynamics, and vehicle roll dynamics
- Vehicle Vibration: covers applied vibrations, vehicle vibrations, and suspension optimization.
This revised edition adds an engineering perspective to each example, highlighting the practical relevance of mathematical models and helping you understand when experimental results may differ from analytical ones. New coverage includes vehicle vibrations in transient responses and the control concept in ride optimization.
Students, researchers, and practicing engineers alike will appreciate the user-friendly presentation of the science and engineering of the mechanical aspects of vehicles, emphasizing steering, handling, ride, and related components.
- Written with an emphasis on the physical meaning and application of concepts;
- Uses a "fact-reason-application" structure: the "fact" is the main subject introduced in each section, the "reason" is the proof, and the "application" is examined in examples;
- Covers modeling, analysis, and optimization of multi-body dynamics.

"This work remains one of the best organized and pedagogically sound treatments of the dynamics of vehicles available. It is well suited for a course in vehicle dynamics for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (A. M. Strauss, Choice, Vol. 55 (4), December, 2017)
