TARGET
The course aims to provide fundamental knowledge of the dynamics of ground vehicles comprising propulsion/braking performance, handling and ride aspects. Any vehicle is considered to be a system, composed of modular components. The course will provide knowledge for predicting the vehicle response to various driver and environmental inputs.
CONTENTS
Briefly, the modules of this course are: Railway vehicles: contact between wheel and rail, sine motion, bogie, car structure, and connecting elements, primary and secondary suspensions, traction force, traction curve (traction force versus velocity diagram), rolling resistance, vibration. Automotive or ground vehicles: tire characteristics, ride and handling, performance, suspension design, transmission, body and structure design.
