Vehicle Performance Engineering

Vehicle Performance Engineering

Vehicle performance is the study of the motion of a vehicle. The motion of any vehicle depends upon all the forces and moments that act upon it. These forces and moments, for the most part are caused by interaction of the vehicle with the surrounding medium(s) such as air or water (e.g. fluid static and dynamic forces), gravitational attraction (gravity forces), Earth’s surface (support, ground, or landing gear forces), and on-board energy consuming devices such as rocket, turbojet, piston engine and propellers (propulsion forces). Consequently, in order to fully understand the performance problem, it is necessary to study and, in some way, characterize these interacting forces.

How To Build An Electric Vehicle?

Disruption in the Automotive and Transportation industry is well under way. How we get from Point A to Point B is being reinvented due to increasing urbanization. This is driving the convergence of autonomous, electrification, connectivity and shared transportation systems rapidly. Auto OEMs and suppliers have to develop and execute new business models to prevent becoming obsolete as these mega trends unfold and technology innovation increases exponentially. The race is on for Auto OEM’s and suppliers to transform their business and provide multimodal mobility services for the future of mobility.

Simcenter Simulation: The Key to Make Safe Autonomous Vehicles

Simcenter Simulation: The Key to Make Safe Autonomous Vehicles

As vehicles become more automated with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), development and validation testing conditions need to be defined. Which scenarios should be considered for ADAS and future autonomous vehicles (AVs)? How can a large number of potential driving situations be considered and how can the most critical ones be identified? Can verification and validation (V&V) be managed in a realistic timeframe and at an acceptable cost? This blog post highlights a process applied during vehicle development, and discusses the support Siemens Digital Industries Software and ETS Solutions Asia engineering services team can provide.

Acoustic Testing: Things You Need To Know

Acoustic Testing: Things You Need To Know

Acoustics is the study of sound, noise, and vibration. Understanding the acoustical performance of your product is important because different types of devices have different thresholds for acceptable amounts of acoustic noise. Acoustic testing services assess how your product will perform in real-world conditions, and whether or not further revisions should be made to reduce noise. Acoustical testing helps product manufacturers from various industries determine these values.
