Course detail

Monitoring and Data Analysis in Motorsport

FSI-0MAAcad. year: 2014/2015

The course "Monitoring and data analysis in motorsports" familiarises students with the procedures and methods used for experimental solution of tasks given in the field of motorsport. It explains basic methods of measuring mechanical quantities and defines the structure of the measuring and control chain. The course deals with the analysis of analog and digital signals in the time and the frequency domain too. A part of the course is also devoted to the measurement of kinematic quantities, forces, torques, pressure and noise. It defines the basic concepts and categories of safety and technical diagnostics.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will have an overview of contemporary possibilities of experimental detection of some mechanical quantities needed for an assessment of failure-free operation of machines and their parts. They will be provided with fundamental practical knowledge of and experience with these problems. They will be able to formulate real requests for these activities and will have a grasp of evaluation and interpretation of the results.

Prerequisites

Fundamental knowledge from area of part and mechanism of machines.

Co-requisites
