Abstract:

This research investigates the dynamic characteristics in a specific vehicle drive train using Matlab. Engine power, Variable gear, Vehicle speed, and general chassis characteristics simulations are conducted on Matlab based software. These simulations are then applied to De Montfort University Formula one racing car. The SIMSCAPE performs simulation calculations for the vehicle and uses the result to study how other designs can be analyzed and modified. Input cycles are generated in step and ramp based on rough estimates of real analog parameters associated with vehicle operational characteristics. The SIMSCAPE software model-based tool is a series of the plot of velocity, energy, angle, and power profile that provide a substantial estimate for the design decision matrix.Results obtained show that system characteristics can be analyzed for various inputs parameters and considerations to achieve optimal balance in design synthesis and manufacturing costs.
