The paper describes some apparatus which has been developed to measure those characteristics which are of interest in vehicle ride and handling. These are:Vertical, lateral and fore-and-aft tyre stiffnesses and damper characteristics. Suspension spring rates and friction, suspension geometry and suspension roll stiffnesses. Steering gear geometry and dynamic characteristics, moments and products of inertia of the vehicle and vibration characteristics of the seats.Some relevant theory and sample results are included in the Appendices.read more

The design of a vehicle inertia measurement facility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the design of a vehicle inertia measurement facility (VIMF) used to measure vehicle center of gravity position, vehicle roll, pitch, and yaw mass moments of inertia; and vehicle roll/yaw mass product of inertia.

The Influence of Aerospace on Future Transport Systems
Abstract: “We are concerned, not with nature alone, but with the total relation between man and the world around him. Its object is not just man's welfare, but the dignity of man's spirit.” Lyndon B. Johnson I am most conscious of the honour of being invited to give the Sixth Handley Page Memorial Lecture, particularly in view of the renown of the previous speakers. Since these lectures are jointly sponsored by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Cranfield Society, I am especially delighted at being the first ex-student of Cranfield who has been invited to present this paper.

Concept design and dynamics analysis of a novel lightweight vehicle suspension combined with driving units
TL;DR: A lightweighted suspension concept with integrated driving units into the longitudinal arm is proposed, to meet the increasing requirements from environments on both lightweight and propulsion to electric vehicles to investigate the ride dynamics of the conceptual suspension.
