ME 7326 - Vehicle Dynamics


Credits: 3

Modeling of wheeled vehicles to predict performance, handling, and ride. Effects of vehicle center of mass, tire-characteristic traction and slip, engine characteristics, and gear ratios of performance. Suspension design and steady-state handling models of four-wheeled vehicles and car-trailer systems to determine oversteer and understeer characteristics, critical speeds, and stability. Multidegree-of-freedom ride models, including tire and suspension compliance. Computer animation and simulations. Prerequisite: ME 2320 or permission of instructor.
