Case Studies in Engineering Dynamics

This is a combined lecture and seminar course. After an introductory lecture block, students work independently on the respective case studies, for which introductory information is provided. Students are expected to carry out a literature search and, based on this, present the current state of research in a 45-minute lecture. In addition, a written summary of max. 3 pages should be prepared.

Students are familiar with the current state of research in the area of the case studies covered. They are able to explain the phenomena and describe them comprehensibly with the help of mechanical equivalent models. They are proficient in the systematic approach to modeling, simulation and experimental validation.

• Linear single-track model
• Steady-state skid pad testing
• Unsteady steering behaviour
• Yaw control (ESP)
• Non-linearities of motor vehicles and their influences
• Stationary and transient vehicle performance assessment
• Components of the chassis and their cross-dynamic characteristics
• Creation of non-linear cross-dynamic models for passenger cars

No requirements need to be fulfilled for participation. Prior participation in the courses Engineering Mechanics IV and Engineering Dynamics and Vibrations is recommended.

will be provided at the lecture.

Lecture, exercise and examination dates as well as further information on the examinations can be found in the General Information.
