Learning outcomes
|
This subject is focused on modern methods of analysis of dynamic properties of rail vehicles which are implemented in the branch of research, development and design of railway vehicles as well as at the assessment of their operation.
After completing the course, the student is able to analyse the dynamic properties of rail vehicles using multi-body simulations.
