Vehicle dynamics and tyre technology - PC Crash

Introduction

Vehicle dynamics is part of De Montfort University FdSc in forensic collision investigation.

In this module we will be using PC Crash to explore the effects of tyre and suspension modeling. PC Crash is probably the most commonly used collision reconstruction simulation program and is used by collision investigators around the globe. Here in the UK, the program has largely been ignored but is now growing in popularity with defence experts.

What you will study

Quarter, half and full mathematical vehicle models including tyre and suspension modeling. You will use PC Crash to develop your understanding of how the models effect the handling of a vehicle.
