Vehicle Dynamics: Instructor: Ashok Kumar Pandey Email

This document provides an overview of the ME5670 Vehicle Dynamics course taught by Ashok Kumar Pandey. The class meets on Mondays from 2:30-4:00 PM and Thursdays from 4:00-5:30 PM. The course covers fundamental definitions of vehicle dynamics including forces on vehicles, modeling approaches, isolation and control of vehicle dynamics, and performance characteristics. Grading is based on attendance, assignments, a midterm, project report, and final exam. References include textbooks on vehicle dynamics and recommended simulation software.

Fundamental Definitions
Vehicle Dynamics

It concerns with the movements of vehicles on a road surface

Physical condition

Acceleration and braking, ride, and turning

Dynamic behavior

Forces on the vehicle due to tires, gravity, and aerodynamics.


Vehicle and its components are studied to determine forces
produced by the sources at particular maneuver and trim
condition

Objective

How the vehicle responds to these forces.


Representation
One mass
approximation
Located at its C.G.
For acceleration,
braking, and most
turning analysis.

Two masses
approximation

For ride analysis,


wheels are treated
as separate
lumped masses
Body mass as sprung mass.
Wheel mass as unsprung mass.

Vehicle Dynamics Interaction


Vehicle dynamics
Isolation

It implies the rejection of


disturbance

Separating driver from


the disturbances
Internally
generated
disturbance

Control

Engine vibration and noise

Externally
generated
disturbance

Aerodynamic interaction
(crosswinds, wakes, etc)

Road undulation

Forces/effects

Absence of disturbance
amplification

Path

Speed

Stability
Agility
Fidelity
Linearity

Vertical
Longitudinal
Lateral

Refinement

Ride

Subjective

Handling

Objective

Performance
