The transient response of automobiles to steering and wind gust inputs
thesis
posted on 2018-07-16, 13:18 authored by Nicolas F. BarterThis thesis is concerned with the problem of measuring and
quantifying the transient response of automobiles to steering and side
wind inputs. The overall strategy is to use a control theory approach,
and describe the various responses in terms of transfer functions and
the parameters which define these transfer functions. The work is a
continuation of the author's earlier work in the same field, and the
starting point is that the steer frequency response of three vehicles
had been measured using a sinusoidal steer input device, but analysis of
the results had not been undertaken. The historical background is
reviewed briefly. [Continues.]
