Vehicle Dynamics is a subject that everyone feels is pretty difficult
and only the talented can learn. That is the biggest misconception
about the subject of Vehicle Dynamics. With the fear of
“difficulty”, this subject is under taught to the engineering
students. Vehicle Dynamics In A Nutshell will resolve this issue.
It explains the concepts of dynamics of vehicle easily and
precisely. With this book, you will gain the knowledge needed to
engineer a vehicle. It covers the concepts of Axle Loading,
Powertrain Sizing, Ride Handling, Torque Vectoring, and Tyre
Dynamics. Going deeper, it covers the design of transmission,
suspension, steering and braking systems. Adding to this, you will
also learn the basics of Data Acquisition Systems which are highly
desirable in the process of the vehicle development.
Purvang Mantri
Purvang Mantri was born in January 1998. After completing
his schooling, he pursued Diploma in Automobile
Engineering in the year 2013 and Bachelor’s in Automobile
Engineering in 2016. During his bachelor’s, Purvang
participated in Baja, organized by SAE India and Mahindra
and Mahindra. In that event, he worked on the suspension
system of their Baja buggy. He even led a team, representing
his institute in the event of Virtual Baja. The same year he
was offered the position of Chairperson of the SAEPU, which
was the SAE Collegiate Club of the institute.
After pursuing his Bachelor's, he started working as a
Freelance Designer for a local additive manufacturing
organization. Later, he joined as a lecturer in the same
institute where he was once a student. While working as a
faculty, Purvang used to teach subjects like Vehicle
Dynamics, Automotive Certification and Homologation and
Basics of Automobile Engineering to the students of
Automobile and Mechanical Engineering. Apart from
teaching, he also mentored students who participated in
competitions like SAE India’s Efficycle and ISIE’s Indian
Karting Race.
In 2020, Purvang started pursuing Post Graduate Diploma in
Electric Mobility from the College of Engineering Pune in
collaboration with the Automotive Research Association of
India (ARAI). While pursuing his post-graduate diploma, he
worked as a student intern for Altair India, where he worked
on a thermal cooling system for a two-wheeler battery pack
using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simultaneously,
he made videos related to automobile engineering and
motorcycle reviews for his YouTube channel.
The motive of the YouTube channel was to spread the
knowledge of automobile engineering to everyone, who is
keen to learn. He tries to make the concept of vehicles easy
to digest. With his channel, Purvang is answering the queries
of the students who are either pursuing automobile
engineering or wants to pursue automobile engineering. He
has made videos related to some basic topics as well as
advanced and future-oriented technologies of automobile
engineering, which will be seen in upcoming vehicles. Today,
his channel has over 11000 subscribers and it is still climbing.
