ABSTRACT

Nonlinear governing equations used to analyze the handling of a ground vehicle are derived from the Lagrange equations of motion. The derived equations are coded using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) embedded in Microsoft

Key Words: Ground vehicle handling, Derivation and validation, Nonlinear governing equation, Lagrange equation, Simplified Calspan tire model, Visual basic for applications
