VEHICLE DYNAMICS FOR PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS “The Instructor and seminar content were
This seminar will present an introduction to Vehicle Dynamics from a vehicle system perspective. The theory and applications are associated with the interaction and performance balance between the powertrain, brakes, steering, suspensions, and wheel and tire vehicle subsystems. The role that vehicle dynamics can and should play in e¥ective automotive chassis development and the information and technology flow from vehicle system to subsystem to piece-part is integrated into the presentation. Governing equations of motion are developed and solved for both steady and transient conditions. Manual and computer techniques for analysis and evaluation are presented. Vehicle system dynamic performance in the areas of drive-o¥, braking, directional control and rollover is emphasized. The dynamics of the powertrain, brakes, steering, suspension, and wheel and tire subsystems and their interactions are examined along with the important role of structure and structural parameters related to vehicle dynamics. Physical experiments, applicable to vehicle dynamics are also introduced. Attendees will receive the Bosch Automotive Handbook and The Automotive Chassis: Engineering Principles by Reimpell, Stoll and Betzler. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Summarize how vehicle dynamics is related to the voice of the customer • Identify important vehicle system parameters useful for e¥ective application of vehicle dynamics to chassis development • List and explain parameters that e¥ect vehicle performance relative to drive-o¥, braking, directional control and rollover • Identify physical measurements needed to e¥ectively apply vehicle dynamics to passenger cars and light trucks • Define the value of vehicle dynamics simulation in the development and evaluation of vehicles • Explain the balance required between ride, directional control and rollover and the essential process for this balance to be obtained for marketplace vehicles WHO SHOULD ATTEND Automotive engineers and quality professionals who work in product design, testing, quality, process or development will benefit from attending.
excellent! He kept it interesting and encouraged class
