Eligibility:
For single subject courses within Chalmers programmes the same eligibility requirements apply, as to the programme(s) that the course is part of.
Course specific prerequisites
Mechanics, Machine Elements (Applied Mechanics or similar)
Aim
The course should provide the students with knowledge about modeling, analyses, simulation techniques and design aspects of components and systems in automotive powertrains including IC engines, traditional gearboxes/transmissions and hybrids solutions/layouts.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Identify, describe and choose the most frequently used components and sub systems in powertrains for automotive vehicles.
- Model and simulate the performance of mechanical systems in combustion engines and drivelines.
- Synthesize (create), motivate and evaluate the mechanical design of a powertrain.
Content
The course includes the following:
- Mechanical layout of powertrain
- Components (eg. differentials, planetary gears, gear change mechanisms and systems, including some lubrication and tribology aspects)
- Analyses and simulation techniques
- Manual gear box and "automatic manual" gearbox
- Automatic gearbox/transmissions - CVT gearbox
- Power split
- Clutches and Torque converters
- Balancing of combustion engines
- Design considerations of the mechanical components in combustion engines
- Design considerations when a transmission is chosen for a particular vehicle
