Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of design of basic structural components of rail vehicles - freight wagons, passenger coaches and powered vehicles. The students are guided to understand the function and design principles of important systems found in vehicles.
|
Requirements on student
|
The requirement for credit is active attendance in tutorial lessons (the way of compensation of missed lessons to be specified by the teacher) and completion of assigned computational and graphical exercises.
The exam consists of writing and oral parts, emphasis being put on graphical expressing of the student (sketching of design components and systems).
|
