Prof. Massimiliano Gobbi

Argomenti del programma: Le attività didattiche sono realizzate tramite lezioni frontali, esercitazioni e laboratori. L’insegnamento si basa su argomenti divisi in moduli come descritto in seguito:

Argomenti del programma: Tyre advanced models Description of the main physical (e.g. brush model, Megaride) and empirical models (e.g. MF-Tyre, MF-Swift) reproducing tyre-road contact forces, including the effect of compound, temperature, pressure, wear, etc. Tyre testing: indoor & outdoor methods, measuring devices Methods for evaluating tyre performance through indoor and outdoor tests. Pros and cons of indoor and outdoor methodologies.

Argomenti del programma: The course contents are delivered through lectures and laboratories. The course covers the following topics divided in modules as per the description below 1. Introduction. The role of optimization in the design of mechanical and mechatronic complex systems. 2. Problem formulation. Design variables, objective functions, design constraints. 3. Optimizing a single objective and multiple objectives.

Argomenti del programma: History of motorsport. Competitions technical regulations. Aerodynamic performance. Racing vehicles subsystems (tyres, braking system, suspension system, powertrain, .....). Materials and components design. Racing vehicle performance assessment (simulation tools and model building). Data analysis and processing. Racing vehicles setup optimisation for maximum performance (minimum time optimisation).
