ME 5326 - Vehicle Dynamics
Credits: 3
Covers modeling of wheeled vehicles to predict performance, handling, and ride. Explores the effects of vehicle center of mass, tire characteristic traction and slip, engine characteristics, and gear ratios of performance. Includes 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. Also, multidegree-of-freedom ride models (including tire and suspension compliance) and computer animation and simulations. Prerequisite: ME 2320 /CEE 2320 or permission of instructor.
