Course Content
Chassis and Bodywork Technique of motion control in vehicles, the relationship between the structure and properties of the basic balance element chassis, linear control, bend balance, body and chassis design parameters in terms of the effects of dynamic load transfers. Direction Control and Steering Systems The importance of directional control in vehicle movement, the criteria of front layout geometry, the steering system that provides the relation of the front layout geometry with the driver and the theoretical and structural information of this system. Suspension Systems Transferring the movement of the vehicle to the chassis, the necessity and the importance of the suspension system in eliminating the negative effects of the load transfer due to different road and load conditions and vehicle dynamics. Brake Systems The role and importance of braking in the movement of vehicles and the relationship between the functions of the system elements and vehicle dynamics.
Objectives of the Course
To understand the relationship between the body of the motion control in vehicles and the structure and characteristics of the basic balance element chassis, linear control, cornering balance, the effects of dynamic load transfers on the body and chassis design parameters. To be able to understand the importance of directional control in vehicle movement, the steering system which provides the relation of the front layout geometry with the driver and the theoretical and structural information of this system. To understand the necessity and importance of the suspension system in order to eliminate the negative effects of the load transfer due to the vehicle dynamics with different road and load conditions. Transferring the developments about the subject, interpreting the issues with different perspectives, applying the acquired knowledge to the application, problem analysis and solving phases.
