For:   AER   I   Ii   M   MEC  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 56
Rec. self-study hours: 104

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course aims at giving the student knowledge about the chassis components of road vehicles, and how the motion of road vehicles may be simulated. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:
  • Create and analyze simpler mechanical models of road vehicles.
  • Describe factors that affect vehicle behavior.
  • Determine how changes in these factors affect vehicle behavior in quantitative as well as qualitative terms.
  • Describe the design and function of common wheel suspensions.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in mechanics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Teaching is in the form of lectures, classes and computer exercises.

Course contents:
Tire mechanics. Wheel suspensions. Longitudinal motion: acceleration, braking, aerodynamics. Vertical motion: springing, shock absorbers. Lateral motion: steering systems, cornering maneuvers.

Course literature:
Material handed out
