  • Digital Image Correlation : applications in Vehicle Dynamics 
    Botha, Theunis R. (University of Pretoria, 2015)
    Except for aerodynamics forces, all vehicle excitation forces are generated at the tyre-road interface. Considering low speed applications, such as terramechanics where the aerodynamics force are negligible, the road-tyre ...
  • High speed autonomous off-road vehicle steering 
    Botha, Theunis R. (University of Pretoria, 2011-11-21)
    High speed cornering of an off-road vehicle poses considerable challenges to the development of an autonomous vehicle due to the non-linear dynamics of the tyre road interface as well as those of the vehicle as a whole ...
