Vehicle Dynamics and Suspensions Systems

Course structure This three-day course will consist of a mix of lectures from both academic and industrial specialists in vehicle dynamics and suspension technology, ride and drive activities on a test track and a hands-on session of the use of modelling and simulation tools for case studies. All delegates will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the course.
What you will learn

• Vehicle ride – an understanding of modelling, analysis and practical issues.
• Vehicle handling – an understanding of modelling, analysis and practical issues.
• Tyres – force and moment properties and tyre modelling approaches.
• Suspension kinematics and compliances – theoretical background and practical measuring schemes.
• Suspension design – an overview of suspension design properties and review of current design philosophy.
• Case studies – introduction to modelling and simulation software and discussion of practical case studies.
