Team/division description
Vehicle Performance Engineering – Model Based Development
The VPE-MBD team within R&D has the role of providing simulation models and virtual evaluation tools to the specific vehicle dynamics performance teams (handling, ride comfort, drivability, brake control), as well as defining more advanced performance indicators to support vehicle project development target setting.
Your project
Analyse and develop a suspension modelling with component and system sensitivity to vehicle dynamics
Your mission will be to analyse and develop a suspension modelling for vehicle dynamic virtual evaluation. You will conduct component and system sensitivity analysis to vehicle dynamics performance with TME-developed simulation environment. With the result, you will analyse mechanism between the suspension behaviour and vehicle dynamics and develop suspension optimal degree of freedom(e.g. add elasticity to certain suspension parts)for efficient suspension development.
Your profile
- Student in final year study of Master degree of engineering, with focus on simulation and optimisation methodologies.
- Proficient in Matlab scripting.
- Knowledge of vehicle dynamics, suspension characteristics and sensitivity analysis will be considered as a strong asset.
- Knowledge of vehicle and system dynamics simulation packages (Carmaker/Amesim/Simpack) and Python will be considered as assets.
- Fluent in English.
