Abstract
This study described the use of multibody system analysis in studying the
behaviour of the vehicle during cornering. Equivalent roll stiffness full vehicle model
with Fiala tyre model is used to study understeer I oversteer characteristic of the vehicle
during constant radius cornering test. Parameter affecting the vehicle behaviour is studied
and discussed. An option in modelling full vehicle such as selection of steering system,
steering input, suspension system representation and tyre model is also described.
