Content scheduling
Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics, January-April 2020
Objective
After completing the module, the student is able to:
- determine the road resistance as well as the traction force and power needed, of a vehicle at different driving speeds
- determine the limitations of vehicle performance (acceleration, top speed, braking, cornering)
- understand and interpret the cornering properties of a vehicle (understeer, oversteer, neutral steer)
- explain how the steering angles influence the vehicle behavior
Content
- the drags and forces affecting a vehicle
- axle loads in different driving situations
- acceleration limited by engine power or wheel traction
- braking, the effect of initial speed to braking distance
- stability in cornering, sliding and tipping of a vehicle
- Ackermann steering geometry, cornering properties of a vehicle
- wheel angles
