4 Vehicle Handling Handling is different to maximum steady state lateral acceleration ( grip ) much less amenable to a succinct definition a quality of a vehicle that allows or even encourages the operator to make use of all the available grip (Prodrive working definition) Emotional definitions like: Confidence (Consistency/Linearity to Inputs) Fun Fluidity Precision (High Yaw Gain, High Yaw Bandwidth) (Yaw Damping Between Manoeuvres) (Disturbance Rejection) Courtesy of
5 Vehicle Handling Inertia Match is the relationship between the CG position, wheelbase and yaw inertia. At the instant of turn in: w = C af a f a t / I zz v = C af a f t / m v a u Combining these velocities gives an instant centre at a distance c behind the CG: b c = I zz / ma w Noting that I zz = m k 2 Thus if c is equal to b then c 1 = k 2 / ab
6 Vehicle Handling k 2 / ab therefore describes the distance of the centre of rotation with respect to the rear axle. It is referred to as the Dynamic Index a DI fraction is length ratio c / b DI > 1 implies c > b DI < 1 implies c < b Magic Number = 0.92 b c
7 Vehicle Handling Understeer and Oversteer For pure cornering (Lateral Response) the following outputs are typically studied: Lateral Acceleration (g) Yaw Rate (deg/s) Roll Rate (deg) Trajectory ( Y (mm) vs. X (mm)) Roll Angle Lateral Acceleration (A y ) Typical lateral responses measured in vehicle coordinate frame Forward Speed (V x )
8 Cornering at Low-Speed t L Centre of Mass d o Assuming small steer angles at the road wheels to avoid scrubbing the wheels R Centre of Turn d i δ o L (R 0.5 t) δ i L (R 0.5 t) The average of the inner and outer road wheel angles is Known as the Ackerman Angle L δ R
9 Steady State Cornering Start with a simple Bicycle model explanation The model can be considered to have two degrees of freedom (yaw rotation and lateral displacement) No roll! In order to progress from travelling in a straight line to travelling in a curved path, the following sequence of events is suggested: 1. The driver turns the hand wheel, applying a slip angle at the front wheels 2. After a delay associated with the front tyre relaxation lengths, side force is applied at the front of the vehicle 3. The body yaws (rotates in plan), applying a slip angle at the rear wheels
10 Steady State Cornering (continued) After a delay associated with the rear tyre relaxation lengths, side force is applied at the rear of the vehicle Lateral acceleration is increased, yaw acceleration is reduced to zero c b a r a f d R Centre of Turn
11 Bicycle Model Simplified c b X α r α f δ Fr y Y Ff y m a y The bicycle model can be described by the following two equations of motion: Ff y + Fr y = m a y Ff y b - Fr y c = 0
12 Understeer and Oversteer Understeer Path Neutral Steer Path Oversteer Path Disturbing force (e.g. side gust) Acting through the centre of mass Olley s Definition (1945)
13 Understeer and Oversteer Understeer promotes stability Oversteer promotes instability (spin) Neutral Steer Oversteer Understeer
14 The Constant Radius Test The constant radius turn test procedure can be use to define the handling characteristic of a vehicle (Reference the British Standard) a y a y = V 2 / R V 33 m The procedure may be summarised as: Start at slow speed, find Ackerman angle Increment speed in steps to produce increments in lateral acceleration of typically 0.1g Corner in steady state at each speed and measure steering inputs Establish limit cornering and vehicle Understeer / Oversteer behaviour
15 Understeer Gradient It is possible to use results from the test to determine Understeer gradient Use steering ratio to establish road wheel angle d from measured hand wheel angles δ (deg) Ackerman Angle 180 PI L R Understeer K = Understeer Gradient Oversteer Lateral Acceleration (g) At low lateral acceleration the road wheel angle d can be found using: Where: 180 δ PI L R K a y δ = road wheel angle (deg) K = understeer gradient (deg/g) A y = lateral acceleration (g) L = track (m) R = radius (m)
16 Limit Understeer and Oversteer Behaviour δ (deg) Limit Understeer δ (deg) 180 L 2 PI R Vehicle 1 Vehicle 2 Neutral Steer Lateral Acceleration (g) Limit Oversteer 180 PI L R Understeer Oversteer Characteristic Speed Vehicle Speed (kph) Critical Speed
17 Consideration of Cornering Forces using a Roll Stiffness Approach -m a y F Ry F Fy V V F Ry F Fy m a y F y = m a y Where a y is the centripetal acceleration acting towards the centre of the corner F y - m a y = 0 Where m a y is the d Alembert Force
18 Free Body Diagram Roll Stiffness Model During Cornering Representing the inertial force as a d Alembert force consider the forces acting on the roll stiffness model during cornering as shown RC rear K Tr Roll Axis F ROz cm F ROy m a y F RIy h F RIz RC front K Tf F FIy Y X Z F FIz F FOy F FIz
19 Forces and Moments Acting at the Roll Axis M RRC F RRCy Roll Axis cm m a y h M RRC M FRC F RRCy K Tr F FRCy RC rear F ROy F ROz F RIy M FRC F FRCy K Tf F RIz RC front F FIy X Y Z F FIz F FOy F FIz
20 Forces and Moments (continued) Consider the forces and moments acting on the vehicle body (rigid roll axis) A roll moment (m a y.h) acts about the axis and is resisted in the model by the moments M FRC and M RRC resulting from the front and rear roll stiffnesses K Tf and K Tr F FRCy + F RRCy - m a y = 0 M FRC + M RRC - m a y. h = 0 The roll moment causes weight transfer to the inner and outer wheels
21 Forces and Moments (continued) M RRC RC rear ΔF FzM = component of weight transfer on front tyres due to roll moment ΔF RzM = component of weight transfer on rear tyres due to roll moment DF RzM Outer Wheels DF RzM t r M FRC Inner Wheels RC front Y X Z DF FzM DF FzM t f
22 Forces and Moments (continued) Taking moments for each of the front and rear axles gives: F FzM M t FRC f ma y.h K KTf K Tf Tr 1 t f F RzM M t RRC r ma y.h K KTr K Tf Tr 1 t r It can be that if the front roll stiffness K Tf is greater than the rear roll stiffness K Tr there will be more weight transfer at the front (and vice versa) It can also be seen that an increase in track will obviously reduce weight transfer
23 Forces and Moments (continued) Consider again a free body diagram of the body roll axis and the components of force acting at the front and rear roll centres F RRCy m a y Roll Axis cm c h b F FRCy This gives: F FRCy ma y c bc F RRCy ma y b bc
24 Forces and Moments (continued) From this we can see that moving the body centre of mass forward would increase the force, and hence weight transfer, reacted through the front roll centre (and vice versa) We can now proceed to find the additional components, DF FzL and DF RzL, of weight transfer due to the lateral forces transmitted through the roll centres F RRCy RC rear ΔF FzL = component of weight transfer on front tyres due to lateral force Δ F RzL = component of weight transfer on rear tyres due to lateral force h r DF RzL t r Inner Wheels DF RzL F FRCy DF FzL Outer Wheels RC front h r DF FzL t f ΔF ΔF Taking moments again for each of the front and rear axles gives: FzL RzL F F FRCy RRCy hf tf hr tr c h f ma y.h bc tf b h r ma y.h bc tr
25 Forces and Moments (continued) It can be that if the front roll centre height h f is increased there will be more weight transfer at the front (and vice versa) We can now find the resulting load shown acting on each tyre by adding or subtracting the components of weight transfer to the front and rear static tyre loads ( F FSz and F RSz ) RC rear Roll Axis cm F ROy m a y This gives: F ROz F RIz F RIy RC front Z F FOy F FIz = F FSz - DF FzM DF FzL F FOz = F FSz + DF FzM + DF FzL F RIz = F RSz - DF RzM - DF RzL F ROz = F RSz + DF RzM + DF RzL X F FIy F FIz Y F FIz
26 Loss of Cornering Force due to Nonlinear Tyre Behaviour At this stage we must consider the tyre characteristics The tyre cornering force F y varies with the tyre load F z but the relationship is not linear Lateral Force F y ΔF y Inner Tyre Load Static Tyre Load Outer Tyre Load Vertical Load F z
27 Loss of Cornering Force (continued) The figure above shows a typical plot of tyre lateral force with tyre load at a given slip angle The total lateral force produced at either end of the vehicle is the average of the inner and outer lateral tyre forces From the figure it can be seen that DF y represents a theoretical loss in tyre force resulting from the averaging and the nonlinearity of the tyre Tyres with a high load will not produce as much lateral force (in proportion to tyre load) compared with tyres on the vehicle
28 The Effect of Weight Transfer on Understeer and Oversteer More weight transfer at either end will tend to reduce the total lateral force produced by the tyres and cause that end to drift out of the turn At the front this will produce Understeer and at the rear this will produce Oversteer Drift Increase front weight transfer - Understeer Drift Increase rear weight transfer - Oversteer
29 The Effect of Weight Transfer (continued) In summary the following changes could promote Understeer: Increase front roll stiffness relative to rear. Reduce front track relative to rear. Increase front roll centre height relative to rear. Move centre of mass forward

31 Vehicle Handling Tests The following are typical of the tests which have been performed on the proving ground: (i) Steady State Cornering - where the vehicle was driven around a 33 metre radius circle at constant velocity. The speed was increased slowly maintaining steady state conditions until the vehicle became unstable. The test was carried out for both right and left steering lock. (ii) Steady State with Braking - as above but with the brakes applied at a specified deceleration rate ( in steps from 0.3g to 0.7g) when the vehicle has stabilised at 50 kph. (iii) Steady State with Power On/Off - as steady state but with the power on (wide open throttle) when the vehicle has stabilised at 50 kph. As steady state but with the power off when the vehicle has stabilised at 50 kph. (iv) On Centre - application of a sine wave steering wheel input (+ / - 25 deg.) during straight line running at 100 kph. (v) Control Response - with the vehicle travelling at 100 kph, a steering wheel step input was applied ( in steps from 20 to 90 deg. ) for 4.5 seconds and then returned to the straight ahead position. This test was repeated for left and right steering locks. (vi) I.S.O. Lane Change (ISO 3888) - The ISO lane change manoeuvre was carried out at a range of speeds. The test carried out at 100 kph has been used for the study described here. (vii) Straight line braking - a vehicle braking test from 100 kph using maximum pedal pressure (ABS) and moderate pressure (no ABS).
32 Computer Simulations Following the guidelines shown performing all the simulations with a given ADAMS vehicle model, a set of results based on recommended and optional outputs would produce 67 time history plots. Given that several of the manoeuvres such as the control response are repeated for a range of steering inputs and that the lane change manoeuvre is repeated for a range of speeds the set of output plots would escalate into the hundreds. This is an established problem in many areas of engineering analysis where the choice of a large number of tests and measured outputs combined with possible design variation studies can factor the amount of output up to unmanageable levels.

57 Conclusions Dynamic index (DI) is an important modifier of vehicle handling performance. Subjective assessment indicates a DI of 0.92 is desirable. Experienced drivers may prefer a more agile vehicle with a low DI. Non-expert drivers may prefer a more forgiving car with a high DI. A detailed validated multi-body systems model of a vehicle allows in depth analysis of responses that may be difficult to measure on the proving ground. Subjective/objective correlation remains a challenge in vehicle dynamics
