IN 4815 Vehicle Dynamics

This course aims to provide future Mechanical Engineers with the different types of vehicles, and objective analysis of their behavior and perfomance as a whole and of each system and subsystem, both from the point of view of design and/or verification. They will perform a technical perfectibility of the design of a vehicle in order to perform work that allows them to integrate the knowledge previously acquired in the degree program (synthesis project). Give knowledge of active and passive safety, and vehicle dynamics.
