Ride characteristic of a vehicle moving on a rough ground with changing travel velocity is analyzed in this paper. Solution is difficult due to the non-stationary characteristic of the problem, so a new technique has been developed to analyze ride characteristic of a vehicle with changing velocity in time/frequency domain. This new technique is shown to give successful results in modeling non-stationary responses in terms of a series of stationary responses using a two degree of freedom system quarter car model.
