  • Lap time simulation with transient vehicle and tyre dynamics 
    Kelly, Daniel Patrick (Cranfield University, 2008-05-07)
    A numerical method is presented for the time optimal control of the race car. The method is then used to perform the role of the driver in numerical simulations of manoeuvres at the limit of race car performance. The ...
  • A linear acoustic model for intake wave dynamics in IC engines 
    Harrison, M. F.; Stanev, P. T. (Elsevier, 2004-01-06)
    In this paper, a linear acoustic model is described that has proven useful in obtaining a better understanding of the nature of acoustic wave dynamics in the intake system of an internal combustion (IC) engine. The model ...
  • A linear acoustic model for multi-cylinder IC engine intake manifolds including the effects of the intake throttle 
    Harrison, M. F.; Rubio Unzueta P. L.; De Soto, I. (Elsevier, 2004-12)
    This paper presents a linear acoustic model of a multi-cylinder intake manifold that can be used as part of a hybrid time/frequency domain method to calculate the intake wave dynamics of practical naturally aspirated ...
  • Measurement and analysis of rally car dynamics at high attitude angles 
    Croft-White, Michael (Cranfield UniversityDepartment of Automotive, Mechanical and Structural Engineering, 2006-05)
    This research aims to investigate the nature of high β-angle cornering as seen in rallying and in particular the World Rally Championship. This is achieved through a combination of sensor development, on-car measurement and ...

  • Measuring wave dynamics in IC engine intake systems 
    Harrison, M. F.; Stanev, P. T. (Elsevier, 2004-01-06)
    Wave dynamics in the intake system are known to strongly influence the performance of naturally aspirated internal combustion (I.C.) engines. Detailed measurements of the wave dynamics are required to: optimise the performance ...
  • Predictive engineering processes for motorcycle dynamics 
    Styles, M. J. (Cranfield University, 2004-04)
    This study is an investigation into the use of computer aided handling and stability analysis for motorcycles. In particular it considers Triumph Motorcycles Ltd., delving into Triumph's background, their strategy and ...
  • Use of numerical optimisation to determine on-limit handling behaviour of race cars. 
    Brayshaw, Damien (Cranfield University, 2004-08)
    The aim of this research is to use numerical optimisation to investigate the on-limit behaviour of an open wheel downforce type race car using the best compromise of modelling accuracy and computational effort. The ...
