Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to acquaint the students with the issues concerning guiding of a vehicle on a straight and a curved track, force actions between vehicle and track in curves. In the next part, the course deals with vehicle suspension, theory of vehicle body elastic seating, and basics of vehicle running dynamics.
After havin passed the course, student is capable of analysing vehicle running on straight and curved track with appropriate calculations - running behaviour, guiding of vehicles and protection against derailment. Furthermore, student can design basic parameters of vehicle suspension and analyse dynamic peformance of a vehicle running on straight and curved track.
