Course detail
Dynamics of Vehicles
FSI-QDYAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course will acquaint with the basic theoretical findings, oriented to vehicle dynamic. The core of the subject is to understand relations between applied forces and vehicle motion. On the basis of this knowledge will be possible to get understanding of the function of vehicle systems, and to create relations between vehicle design and dynamic characteristics. The course gets theoretical background for consequential courses in specialization motor vehicles.
