| Abstract: | A modelling approach is described using the modules vehicle body, front axle and rear axle. All these modules are virtually assembled by CAD software and Simpack, a commercial multibody dynamics tool. The geometrical data are found from the CAD model while the mechanical data for the entire vehicle are evaluated by parameter identification based on mechanical principles. In detail, the static measurement and error analysis of the center of mass is explained as well as the dynamic tests to identify the moments of inertia of the car. Further, spring and damper characteristics are identified. (© 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
