CHASSIS AND VEHICLE DYNAMICS
Who Should Attend This course has been developed for individuals involved in the specification, design, installation, maintenance, and performance of brake systems and their associated components in high-per- formance and/or racing applications; however, the fundamental principles and design considerations presented apply to all facets of brake system engineering. In addition to individuals involved directly in brake system design, this course can be valuable to those responsible for chassis design, suspension tuning, tire optimization, and overall vehicle dynamics in high-performance applications. Prerequisites An undergraduate engineering degree or a strong automotive technical background is highly recommended. A basic knowledge of college algebra, college physics, and a familiarity with vehicle hydraulic brake system functionality is required to participate in the final seminar design exercise.

Hydraulic Brake Systems for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks 3 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C0509 Hydraulic brake systems, one of the most important safety features on many road vehicles today, must meet manufacturer and customer requirements in addition to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. This course will analyze automotive braking from a system’s perspective, emphasizing legal requirements as well as performance expectations such as pedal feel, stopping distance, fade and thermal management. Calculations necessary to predict brake balance and key system sizing variables that contribute to performance will be discussed. Major compo- nents of a brake system, including calipers, boosters, master cylinders, drum brakes, and park brakes will be presented in detail highlighting the many design variations. An overview of the chassis control components and operating principles will be presented with an emphasis on ABS, traction control and stability control.
