Synopsis:

The lectures are aimed to the design of sporting cars with special attention to the suspension systems of vehicles, suspension theory, dynamics and stability of the ride, vibration of vehicles and fixing of aggregates. The theory, mathematical modelling and design principles are presented. It includes: Kinematics of wheel suspension, basic charakterics of suspension and Ackermann conditions.<br>\r\nDynamics of braking and acceleration - equation of motion and influence of design<br>\r\nStability of ride - description, influence of design - stabilizers<br>\r\nSuspension, principles, design, analyzis, spectra of vibrations, suspension elements<br>\r\nBasic principles of controlled suspension systems<br>\r\nThe data collection during the race, the analysis and conslusions, the special features of racing driving.
