The definitive book of tire mechanics, by the acknowledged leading world authority, Hans Pacejka, fully explores the mechanical behavior of the pneumatic tire and its impact on vehicle and motorcycle dynamics and handling. The text covers the tire modeling gamut, from the basics to advanced modeling for extreme driving conditions, critical for the successful design of chassis active control systems. Theoretical treatments are presented with supporting experimental observations to provide the reader with an understanding of tire forces and with the basis for developing and using suitable mathematical models.
