Overview
The Road Vehicle Dynamics - Fundamentals and Modelling course at Cranfield University will consist of a mix of lectures from both academic and industrial specialists in vehicle dynamics and suspension technology, ride and drive activities on a test track and a hands-on session of the use of modelling and simulation tools for case studies.
What you will learn
- Vehicle ride – an understanding of modelling, analysis and practical issues.
- Vehicle handling – an understanding of modelling, analysis and practical issues.
- Tyres – force and moment properties and tyre modelling approaches.
- Suspension kinematics and compliances – theoretical background and practical measuring schemes.
- Suspension design – an overview of suspension design properties and review of current design philosophy.
- Case studies – introduction to modelling and simulation software and discussion of practical case studies.
