To acquire a basic knowledge and understanding of the vehicle design process and vehicle attributes, important design concepts of brakes, suspension, steering systems, wheels and tires in vehicle design and verification methods are summarized.

Course Description This course provides a comprehensive introduction to some fundamental aspects of vehicle design, vehicle attributes together with brake system, suspension and steering systems, wheels and tires, wheel alignment angles, and their effect on the vehicle attributes. Understand design verification methods in vehicle level road tests, rig tests, and computer aided engineering tools.

Course Description in Turkish Bu derste; araç tasarımına ilişkin temel bilgiler ve araç özellikleri hakkında bilgi verilmektedir.

Aşağıdaki sistemler için tasarım prensipleri ve doğrulama yönetimleri detaylıca incelenmektedir: Fren, süspansiyon ve direksiyon sistemleri, tekerlekler ve lastikler. Ayrıca bunların araç özelliklerine etkileri, araç yol testleri, laboratuvar testleri, ve bilgisayar destekli tasarım yöntemleri hakkında bilgi verilecektir.
