Modelling and simulation of full vehicle to study its dynamic behavior

  Prof. Sachin Jadhao,  Mr. Milind K Patil

This study is to demonstrate the use of modelling and simulation in assessing the performance of the whole vehicle system using Multi body system software and plot the effect of Kinematic and Compliance characteristics using virtual model. Step by step building complete vehicle model in Adams/Car, independently modelling various subsystems such as front suspension, steering, rear suspension, body, Power train, brakes and wheels as per vehicles specification. All these subsystems integrated to make full vehicle assembly. After validation of the virtual model, study the effect of these Kinematic and Compliance characteristics on handling performance of the vehicle. The vehicle mass, cornering stiffness of tires, the distance of center of gravity from both axles and vehicle speed are the parameters considered in the vehicle handling analysis. Compare these results with actual measurements done on a physical prototype using Suspension parameter measuring machine. Further testing of the vehicle model as per ISO guidelines and analyzing the impact of selected Kinematic and Compliance variables on the vehicle handling behavior.
