Employing optimization in CAE vehicle dynamicsEmploying optimization in CAE vehicle dynamics Διπλωματική Εργασία Diploma Work 2015-01-122014enThe use of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools from the Conceptual Design stage can lead to reduced production time and cost, while it can also help attribute leaders to more efficiently achieve the desired vehicle specifications. CAE tools can facilitate engineers to design, modify, calibrate and optimize their designs in an early development phase. Therefore, physical testing during the development process of a new vehicle can be reduced; methods can be developed, which can facilitate physical testing scenarios in virtual environments using simulation software. Automotive industry is aiming towards vehicle verification using Simulation software rather than physical prototype testing. This thesis aims to develop CAE methods for Vehicle dynamics related to active safety features.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης::Σχολή Μηχανικών Παραγωγής και ΔιοίκησηςLeledakis_Alexandros_Dip_2014.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-01-12application/pdf6.6 MBfree Leledakis Alexandros Λελεδακης Αλεξανδρος Tsourveloudis Nikolaos Τσουρβελουδης Νικολαος Pouliezos Anastasios Πουλιεζος Αναστασιος Nikolos Ioannis Νικολος Ιωαννης Katzourakis Diomidis Κατζουρακης Διομηδης Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης Technical University of Crete Automobile engineering Automobiles--Construction Automotive engineering automobiles design and construction automobile engineering automobiles construction automotive engineering CAD (Computer-aided design) Computer-assisted design computer aided design cad computer aided design computer assisted design Vehicle system dynamics motor vehicles dynamics vehicle system dynamics Optimization (Mathematics) Optimization techniques Optimization theory Systems optimization mathematical optimization optimization mathematics optimization techniques optimization theory systems optimization
