NUMERICAL MODELLING ON VEHICLE DYNAMIC STABILITIES IN LOW-LYING FLOOD AREAS

Vehicle instability can be simply described as the state whereby vehicle are compromised by instability and it can be represented in three forms; sliding, floating and most recently, toppling motions. Unfortunately, studies pertaining to understand the behaviour of vehicles stability (both in...
