CHASSIS AND VEHICLE DYNAMICS
This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate and the $5 student CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103. Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Design a brake system in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards • Calculate the ideal brake balance for a vehicle under any loading condition • Calculate the actual brake balance and brake output for a selected set of brake components and evaluate the effects of changing component parameters • Determine the effects of variation in component parameters on the system performance • Describe the basic function of major brake components • Describe various chassis control systems and their role in vehicle safety • Determine the appropriate design variation for a particular application Who Should Attend This course is designed for engineers interested or responsible for the specification, prediction and validation of braking system performance. It will also benefit engineers responsible for brake component design by providing insight into the interaction of components and the contribution to system level perfor- mance metrics. Prerequisites A basic understanding of vehicle dynamics and familiarity with hydraulic principles would be helpful, but is not required. −− Emphasis on FMVSS 135 and ECE 13 — Effects of requirements on design; Tradeoffs with other system requirements; Partial system considerations; Loading conditions −− Stopping Distance — Actual vs. magazine; Contributions of subsytems; Effects of driver −− Thermal management — Conservation of energy; Abuse schedules; Mountain descents; Design for max speed vs. high use −− NVH & pedal feel — Metrics and criteria; Objective techniques • Brake Balance and System Output Calculations −− Ideal brake force derivation −− Actual brake output −− Effects of variation, planned and unplanned Topical Outline DAY ONE • System Level Requirements
DAY TWO • Workshop - The student will design a brake system for a vehicle of their choice and predict the performance to key system level targets • Component Functional Review −− Brake pedal assembly — Variable ratio; Adjustable; Composite −− Brake booster options — Vacuum; Hydroboost; Active −− Master cylinder −− Fluid, pipes, and hoses −− Proportioning and metering valves −− Disc brakes — Fixed; Floating; Multi-piston; Vented; 2-piece DAY THREE • Component Functional Review (continued) −− Drum brakes — Leading-trailing; Duo-servo; Self-adjusting; Static Brake −− Parking Brakes — Foot vs. hand; Cables and tensioning; Drum-in-hat; Caliper mechanisms • Workshop - The student will determine the effects of component variation on their design from Day 2 Anti-lock
Braking Systems −− Mechanization −− Performance −− Dynamic rear proportioning/electronic brake force distribution • Advanced Concepts and Technology −− Panic brake assist −− Hybrid/regenerative braking −− Brake-by-wire −− Electric parking brake

Introduction to Brake Control Systems: ABS, TCS, and ESC 2 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C0315 Once reserved for high-end luxury vehicles, electronic brake control systems are now required standard equipment on even the most inexpensive cars and trucks. Today, every new vehicle benefits from the optimized braking, enhanced acceleration, and improved stability that these systems provide. This comprehensive seminar introduces participants to the system-level design considerations, vehicle interface requirements, and inevitable performance compromises that must be addressed when implementing these technologies.
