This module describes the skills, knowledge, and
attitude required to apply vehicle dynamics. This module is intended for students pursuing a diploma in automotive technology. At the end of this module,
the students will be able to identify kinetic motion, perform balancing of
rotating and reciprocating parts, perform tire mechanics, and describe
suspension and steering systems.
Today’s industries cannot survive worldwide competition unless they introduce new products with better quality (quality, Q), at lower cost (cost, C), and with shorter lead time (delivery, D). Accordingly, they have tried to use the computer's huge memory capacity, fast processing speed and user-friendly interactive graphics capabilities to automate and tie together otherwise cumbersome and separate engineering or production tasks, thus reducing the time and cost of product development and production. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE) are the technologies used for this purpose designing the product cycle.
The
design process is the activity of turning ideas into reality. It represents a
sequence of activities that are essential I solving design problem.
