Eng767 Automotive Dynamics and Powertrain Analysis

Assess the dynamic performance and apply optimisation for a given vehicle suspension design.

You are asked to evaluate some key performance indicators of 2 versions of the same vehicle (the "normal" Renault 5 and its "race" version)

The key performance indicators that you are asked to evaluate must include:
- Roll centre height at the front and at the rear
- Centre of gravity (you may need to make assumptions - if it is the case then you must detail and justify them!)
- Condition for zero pitch (anti-squat/anti-pitch suspension geometry analysis)
You can also include a roll centre analysis (front/rear), a understeer gradient
(K) analysis and any other element of the steady state cornering theory in your evaluation.

Once the key performance indicators are calculated, you are asked to discuss the discrepancies between the key performance indicators of the 2 versions of the vehicle

The details of the 2 versions of the vehicle are shown in the Figures 1a&b and 2a&b. The first version is a typical Renault 5 FWD, the second version is a Renault 5 Turbo RWD.

An Autodesk Fusion 360 file is available on Teams (in ENG767/Assignment section), it should provide all the major information that you need. You will need to conduct your own research to get the weight, the weight distribution and any other information that you may need. Autodesk Fusion 360 can be downloaded.

You may need to sign up with Autodesk - use your Glyndwr email address for verification of your student status.

If you need any dimensions that are not available on the CAD file, please ask.

The wheels of the FWD version are 4.5x13 ET25. The tyres are 155/70/13 80T max load 450kg. All 4 wheels are the same on this model.

The RWD version is equipped with 7Jx15 ET0 wheels at the front with 195/50/15-82V max load 475KG tyres at the front, the rear wheels are 10Jx15 ET25 with 255/45/15-93V max load 650kg tyres.
