With a 4.5-star rating and strong rankings in automotive engineering categories, it’s a trusted resource for understanding vehicle behavior and dynamics. ## Description This book attempts to find a middle ground by balancing engineering principles and equations of use to every automotive engineer with practical explanations of the mechanics involved, so that those without a formal engineering degree can still comprehend and use most of the principles discussed. Either as an introductory text or a practical professional overview, this book is an ideal reference. Review: A solid foundation - My background is in computer engineering. As such, I have a basic understanding of kinematics, but approached this book with little knowledge of physics as specifically applied to vehicles. I found this book to be a perfect first step into the field. It picked up essentially where my knowledge left off and provided solid coverage of the topics discussed. Due to the nature of the book--an introductory text--simplifications often had to be made; in these cases the simplifications were pointed out, often with references to publications covering the areas more fully. Furthermore, I felt that all topics were evenly covered--no one got undue attention. Basically, the book was just what I was looking for. My only significant pet peeves are the use of English-system measurements (I am more comfortable with metric), and a few cases of unexplained 'magic numbers' in formulas (it took me a minute to realize that 57.3 is the number of degrees in a radian). And plot and character development were pretty thin (grin). Review: Happiness - I like books like this because they help me gain a better understanding of the materials needed to withstand the dynamics machines experience. Understanding the mechanics and dynamics of a technology enable better discernment in determining sustainable materials to use for certain parts of the technology. This book provides a straightforward and easy to follow overview of vehicle dynamics with both qualitative and quantitative explanations. So much happiness! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60,789 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Automotive History (Books) #18 in Automotive Engineering (Books) #88 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 69 Reviews | ## Images ![Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717eVKkFhOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid foundation *by A***N on December 31, 2001* My background is in computer engineering.

Understanding the mechanics and dynamics of a technology enable better discernment in determining sustainable materials to use for certain parts of the technology. This book provides a straightforward and easy to follow overview of vehicle dynamics with both qualitative and quantitative explanations. So much happiness! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My very first Amazon purchase *by D***R on September 10, 2020* Ahh, the good old days. This was my very first Amazon purchase back in 2005. We had gotten some stuff before then, but it was not MY account. Paid $79.95 for this back in 2005. Currently listed for $85.82. Going up only 7% in 15 years is not bad. Although...the information has also aged 15 years. But.... math is math. If cars were flying like they should have been in 2015, this book would have become obsolete. Oh well I guess we just have to stick with roads for now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/8652799-fundamentals-of-vehicle-dynamics](https://www.desertcart.no/products/8652799-fundamentals-of-vehicle-dynamics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
