Lectures

Goal

The objectives of the course are to provide a comprehensive insight into the problems of vehicle dynamics, primarily in the specifics of the contact between the driver and the ground.

Outcome

Acquiring skills for a competent approach to the selection and adjustment of power units and transmission elements, as well as solving specific problems using scientific methods and procedures.

Theoretical teaching

Vehicle as a dynamic system; forces, moments, movement resistances; Soil and vehicle characteristics; Forces acting on the vehicle - Static and dynamic reactions: normal, tangential and lateral; Limiting vehicle performance - speed, acceleration, climb; Power unit - performance of power units, external speed characteristics, transmission of power and torque from the power unit to the mover; Differential equation of motion; Traction-dynamic characteristics of transport and work vehicles - traction diagram, potential characteristic, power balance, transmission ratios in the gearbox, theoretical and actual speed of movement of work vehicles, sliding.

Practical teaching

Preparation of a Report on a selected topic.

Attendance requirement

Defined by the rules of Doctoral studies.
