The roll angle of the vehicle φ is a characteristic parameter for the vehicle's instability. This value appears when the vehicle steers. If the vehicle’s body is tilted, the value of the vertical force at the wheels Fzij will also change. When the value of Fzij reaches zero, the wheel will be lifted off the road, the rollover phenomenon can occur. At this time, the roll angle of the vehicle will reach the maximum value φmax. Previous researches have often used only the vehicle dynamics model to determine the limits of this phenomenon. However, the calculation and simulation process are quite complicated. Therefore, this research has proposed a novel method that can calculate the limit of the rollover phenomenon more easily. In this research, the Rollover State Function (RSF) was established to calculate the limited roll angle of the vehicle. According to the content of the paper, this function depends only on the basic dimensions of the vehicle such as the height of center of the gravity, the track width, etc. Besides, it has relatively high accuracy, even when the vehicle's mass changes, its difference is not large. Therefore, the results of the paper can be applied to later studies to predict the rollover phenomenon.

Tire yaw marks deposited on the road surface carry a lot of information of paramount importance for the analysis of vehicle accidents. They can be used: (a) in a macro-scale for establishing the vehicle’s positions and orientation as well as an estimation of the vehicle’s speed at the start of yawing; (b) in a micro-scale for inferring among others things the braking or acceleration status of the wheels from the topology of the striations forming the mark. A mathematical model of how the striations will appear has been developed. The model is universal, i.e., it applies to a tire moving along any trajectory with variable curvature, and it takes into account the forces and torques which are calculated by solving a system of non-linear equations of vehicle dynamics. It was validated in the program developed by the author, in which the vehicle is represented by a 36 degree of freedom multi-body system with the TMeasy tire model. The mark-creating model shows good compliance with experimental data. It gives a deep view of the nature of striated yaw marks’ formation and can be applied in any program for the simulation of vehicle dynamics with any level of simplification.

It is worthwhile to design a more accurate dynamic model for air springs, to investigate the dynamic behaviour of an air spring suspension, and to analyse and guide the design of vehicles with air spring suspensions. In this study, a dynamic model of air spring was established, considering the heat transfer process of the air springs. Two different types of air spring were tested, and the experimental results verified the effectiveness of the air spring model compared with the traditional model. The key factors affecting the computation accuracy were studied and checked by comparing the results of the experiments and simulations. The new dynamic model of the air spring was integrated into the full-vehicle multi-body dynamics model, in order to investigate the air suspension behaviour and vehicle dynamics characteristics. The co-simulation method using ADAMS and MATLAB/Simulink was applied to integration of the air spring model with the full-vehicle multi-body dynamics model.

In this paper, a control oriented rational tire model is developed and incorporated in a two-track vehicle dynamics model for the prospective design of vehicle dynamics controllers. The tire model proposed in this paper is an enhancement over previous rational models which have taken into account only the peaking and saturation behavior disregarding all other force generation characteristics. Simulation results have been conducted to compare the dynamics of a vehicle model equipped with a Magic Formula tire model, a rational tire model available in the literature and the present rational tire model. It has been observed that the proposed tire model results in vehicle responses that closely follow those obtained with the Magic Formula even for extreme driving scenarios conducted on roads with low adhesion coefficient.

Mostly, magnetorheological (MR) dampers were optimized based on individual performance, without considering the influence of structure parameters change on vehicle performance. Therefore, a multi-objective optimization scheme of MR damper based on vehicle dynamics model was proposed. The finite element method was used to analyze magnetic flux density distribution in tapered damping channel under different structure parameters. Furthermore, the damping force expression of the tapered flow mode MR damper was derived, and the damping force was introduced into the vehicle dynamics model. In order to improve the ride comfort and operation stability of the vehicle, a collaborative optimization platform combining magnetic circuit finite element analysis and vehicle dynamics model was established. Based on this platform, the optimal design variables were determined by comfort and stability sensitivity analysis. The time domain optimization objective and frequency domain optimization objective are proposed simultaneously to overcome the lack of time domain optimization objective. The results show that compared with the time domain optimization and the initial design, the suspension dynamic deflection, tire dynamic load and vehicle body vertical acceleration are decreased after the time-frequency optimization. At the same time, in the frequency domain, the amplitude of vibration acceleration in each working condition is significantly reduced.
