ME 1061 - OFF-ROAD VEHICLE DYNAMICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Students will learn the theory behind the dynamic systems integral to an off-road vehicle, including engine, transmission, and suspension. Theory will be applied to the development of proposals for the design of off-road vehicles. Subjects include: researching and developing engine performing data; dynamics of rotating mass - engine balancing, inertia loads of driveline, torsional stiffness of driveline; modeling the performance of a Continuously Variable Transmission; frame stiffness and fatigue life under impact loading; suspension design and tuning; tire to soil interface.
