The Modelling and Correlation Procedure for Assessment of Vibration Performance of a Heavy Commercial Truck
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Application of mathematical modelling and numerical methods is a key element of optimum vehicle development process. Upfront CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) simulations of vehicle attributes are required to select designs that meet vehicle attribute targets and legal requirements. CAE is an attractive approach to predict and optimize the performance of the vehicle, and to make decisions in terms of attribute trade-offs before the vehicle prototypes are available.
