ME 5230 - Automotive Driveline Dynamics

(4 credits)

Introduction to powertrain and driveline systems dynamics with emphasis on vehicle drive-quality and design of vibration control mechanisms that enhance fundamental drive characteristics in conventional and electrified vehicles. Subjective and objective characteristics are considered related to low-frequency vehicle acceleration performance, including vehicle jerk, surge and powertrain modes, and torsional vibration. This course is cross listed with a undergraduate course. Credit cannot be received for both ME 5230 and ME 4230. Prerequisite (s): Undergraduate courses in dynamics, vibrations, and controls (or equivalent).

Course revisions made after the Graduate Catalog publication date will be posted in the Graduate Catalog Addendum.
