Roughness-Induced Vehicle Energy Dissipation: Statistical Analysis and Scaling

The energy dissipated in a vehicle suspension system due to road roughness affects rolling resistance and the resulting fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission. The key parameters driving this dissipation mechanism are identified via dimensional analysis. A mechanistic model is proposed that re...
