This quiz is for vehicle dynamic class.
Problem 1
Summarize all the loads described in class and quantitatively describe their effect on vehicle properties (acceleration, braking, fuel consumption). Please include the scenarios discussed.
Problem 2
Show how the science of vibrations is applied in vehicle dynamics for determining the perception of ride. [relate natural frequency, damping to ride properties]
Problem 3
Research the roles of anti-roll bars. What do they do and how are they built into the system?
Problem 4
Qualitatively describe the relationship between the analyzed parameters for cornering. [R, L, delta, etc]
Problem 5
Select a suspension, NOT described in class, and explain its operation. Include illustrations, benefits and disadvantages of using it.
Problem 6
Propose a currently non-commercially available car mechatronics system. Describe the sensors, actuators and control system you intend to use. Explain the purpose of this innovation and specify what the added value is for the user [i.e why would anyone want to buy it?]
