BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES

Get a head-start, as you begin to design your cars for BAJA, SUPRA AND FORMULA SAE Events.

This course takes the engineer through the mechanics of each of the major systems on vehicles responsible for dynam

performance. The major components and their functions are described and represented in equation form as needed to predi

performance in acceleration, braking, ride and handling. Special attention is given to steering and suspension systems in th

discussion of handling to explain such concepts as roll center and understeer gradient.

The instructional methods include extensive use ofexample, case studies, videos and animations. Participants are exposed to th

latest technologies for simulating vehicle dynamics for virtual testing. Virtual test processes are illustrated for evaluating regulateperformance modes such as those contained in the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, ECE regulations and performanc

based Standards for vehicles.

PROGRAMME

Day 1Introduction

* Objectives, format, materials available, etc.

* Coordinate systems

* Newton's Second Law (applied to find wheel loads)

Suspension Effects on Handling

* Tire properties (cornering stiffness, camber stiffness and

aligning torque)

* Roll moment distribution (vehicle roll modeling)

* Roll steer

*Demonstrate independent learning ability necessary for

conducting professional development.

*Become self-disciplined and self-motivated, demonstrating

personal responsibility in the pursuit of studies &professional

practice.

ARAI, over four & half decades, has provided its design and

development expertise to the Indian automotive industry,

focusing on the testing and evaluation of components andsystems to meet national and international standards. ARAI

strives to achieve international recognition in these areas. In

keeping with the globalization of economy and business, ARAI

continues to enlarge its scope of services to meet the

requirements of automotive industries around the world. In

addition to utilizing state-of-the-art technology, laboratories

and highly-trained personnel, ARAI recognizes the need to

develop a new generation of engineers to meet the demands of

the automotive industry, not just in India but across the globe.

ARAI ACADEMY is classified into three divisions:

LEARNING CENTRE has embarked upon a programme of

building up human resources by commencing educational

programme (Graduate and Post graduate) with specialization in

Automotive Engineering. It has tied up with VIT University

(Vellore), Veltech University (Chennai), College of Engineering

(Pune), University of Alabama (USA), Loughborough University

(UK) and University of Braunschweig (Germany).

KNOWLEDGE CENTRE has collection of around 12,000 books &

standards, 50,000 technical papers and numerous journals,

technical reports and seminar / conference proceedings. It

publishes monthly magazine 'Automotive Abstracts' and

supplies CDs of CMVR Type Approval Handbook and

Automotive Industry Standards (AIS).

TRAINING CENTRE has devised various Domain Training

Programmes (DTPs) & Proficiency Improvement Programmes

(PIPs). It gives engineers, faculty and students knowledge and

technical expertise in a wide range of automotive disciplines. It

helps in understanding system's view point for automotive

design and manufacture, with specific skills in formulating

automotive engineering solution in terms of their function and

performance, through optional modules.
