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 wheel and the ground.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to competently approach the selection and matching of powertrain and transmission elements, as well as solve specific vehicle dynamics problems using scientific methods and procedures.

Theoretical teaching

Vehicle as a dynamic system; forces, moments, resistance forces; Ground and vehicle characteristics; Forces acting on the vehicle - static and dynamic reactions: normal, tangential and lateral; Vehicle performance at adhesion limit - speed, acceleration, climb; Power unit - performance of power units, power and torque diagram, transmission of power and torque from the power unit to the wheel; Differential equation of motion; Traction characteristics of transport and work vehicles - traction diagram, potential characteristic, power balance, transmission ratios, theoretical and actual speed of work vehicles, skidding.
