OFFROAD VEHICLE

DYNAMICS

Discover the concepts, theories, models, and methods used in

the Vehicle analysis and design of modern Off-Road Cars.
OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE

About this course

This course covers the physics, concepts, theories, and models

underlying the discipline of Vehicle Dynamics. A general theme is
the technique of modelling and designing using key suspension
points with proper adjustment of slip angle and cornering forces.

The intent is to instill an intuitive feel for vehicle dynamics

behavior, and to provide the basis of dynamic force analysis,
stability and influence of weight distribution. A few computational
methods are covered, primarily to give additional insight into
design parameters, and to identify the primary dynamic forces on
maneuvering a vehicle.

A short overview of vehicle dynamics is also presented.

Objective

To ease the understanding of Automotive Design Principles.

To help make effective use of CAD / CAE Software's for

Automotive Design.

Make you able to calculate simple properties of a car.

Make aware of the current job opportunity in Automotive Industry.

How to showcase your portfolio to companies looking for hiring

CAD / CAE designers.

Strategies involved in making perfect use of time for learning

skills you need in automotive industry.

Prerequisite

The student is expected to be well-versed in basic mechanics,

vector calculus, and basic differential equations. Good familiarity
with Coordinate Systems; Force, Torque, Equilibrium is expected.

If you do not know these subjects beforehand, following the class

material will be extremely difficult. We do not check students for
prerequisites, so you are certainly allowed to try.

Basics of Algebra; Trigonometric Functions, Center of Gravity,

Moment of Inertia; Method of Sections, Friction, Newton's Law is
needed.
