Course content
|
The content of the course is adapted to the specialization of each student (road or rail vehicles) as well as the topic of his/her dissertation thesis. Main topics - rail vehicles: - Tasks of mechanics of rail vehicle movement on the track, modeling of vehicle-track interaction. - Ways of modelling of a rail vehicle running on the track. - Types of rail vehicle and track models. Track definition - straight and curved track. - Modelling of wheelset-track contact geometry and wheel-rail interaction (wheel adhesion). - Ways of solving the mathematical model of rail vehicle running. Output quantities and their statistical evaluation. - Vehicle performance in straight track sections and track curves. - Modelling and verification of computer simulation of rail vehicle running on track. - Methods of experimental analysis of dynamic vehicle-track interaction and processing of measurement results. - Questions of solving specific cases, force influence of vehicles on the track, unstable running of vehicles, causes and consequences. Main topics - road vehicles: - Tyre-road interaction. - Driving characteristics of road vehicles. - Evaluation of static and dynamic tyre tests. - Deformation characteristics of the tyre. - Determination of the radial stiffness of the tyre casing. - Evaluation of the tyre-road interface and its contact loading.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge in the field of vehicle-track interaction in road or rail vehicles, according to the student's specialization.
The students gain deep theoretical knowledge of vehicle-track interaction. They are acquainted with the state of the art in the field of their research interests and they are capable of solving complicated tasks of vehicle-track interaction.
