  • Ride comfort comparison between suspension modes : input towards designing difference threshold experiments during driving 
    Kat, Cor-Jacques; Praet, Kylian; Dhaens, Miguel; Els, Pieter Schalk (International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems, 2022-09)
    Ride comfort is an important topic for on- and off-road suspension design. Difference thresholds of whole-body vibration is important to determine perceptibility of changes in a vehicle’s dynamics. Difference thresholds ...
  • Ride comfort difference thresholds for a vehicle on a 4-poster test rig 
    Grabe, Roland Peter (University of Pretoria, 2017)
    To improve ride comfort a reduction in the acceleration experienced by occupants is required. Simulation software and test equipment are able to measure reductions in acceleration that are too small for humans to perceive. ...
  • The ride comfort versus handling decision for off-road vehicles 
    Bester, Rudolf (University of Pretoria, 2007-11-26)
    Today, Sport Utility Vehicles are marketed as both on-road and off-road vehicles. This results in a compromise when designing the suspension of the vehicle. If the suspension characteristics are fixed, the vehicle cannot ...
  • The ride comfort vs. handling compromise for off-road vehicles 
    Els, Pieter Schalk; Theron, Nicolaas J.; Uys, Petro E.; Thoresson, Michael John (Elsevier, 2007-10)
    When designing vehicle suspension systems, it is well-known that spring and damper characteristics required for good handling on a vehicle are not the same as those required for good ride comfort. Any choice of spring and ...
