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: - Solution of wheel-rail contact problems - Transmission of tangential forces, adhesion of rail vehicles - Running in straight track, stability issues - Vehicle guidance in curved track, derailment safety - Modelling of dynamical behaviour of rail vehicles - Assessment of running and guiding behaviour of rail vehicles Main topics - road vehicles: - Theory of two-wheeled vehicles - Vehicle cornering, stability enhancing systems - Stability of special vehicles, influence of transport of liquid substances - Vehicle impact theory - Autonomous systems of road vehicles - Static and dynamic tyre parameters

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge in the field of vehicle theory, focusing on road or rail vehicles according to the individual study plan of the doctoral student.
The students gain wide knowledge of theory of rail or road vehicles, according to their specialization. They are acquainted with the state of the art in the field of their research interests and they are capable of solving complicated theoretical tasks of vehicle motion.

|
Prerequisites
|
It is assumed that the students are familiar with fundamental parts of vehicle theory, and that they can apply knowledge from general courses (mathematics, mechanics) to solution of specific tasks of vehicle mechanics.
