OBJECTIVE
To design a vehicle with a knowledge of
considering all the dynamic aspects .
It is essential to study about vibrations
and how to reduce the vibration under
different loads.
To improve the comfort for the passengers
and life of the various components of the
vehicle.

General Discussion



Why to study Vehicle
Dynamics????
Reasons
To ensure the safety of passengers.
To increase the comfort of passengers.
To increase the life of the vehicle .
To maximize the overall efficiency of a
vehicle.
Very important to meet the customer
point of view.

What is Vibration ?
Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon
whereby oscillations occur about
an equilibrium point. The oscillations may
be periodic such as the motion of a
pendulum or random such as the
movement of a tire on a gravel road.
Fundamentals of vibration Study
Vibrations can lead to excessive
deflections and failure on the machines
and structures.
To reduce vibration through proper design
of machines and their mountings.
To improve the efficiency of certain
machining, casting, forging & welding
processes.
