Thesis type SIMULAZIONE E PROGETTO
Description In the highly competitive world of today, car manufacturers are continuously trying to shorten the time-to-market, requiring a simultaneous development of all the vehicle systems aimed to converge to the final design with the most efficient usage of the available resources. In this perspective, virtual simulation is a key enabler thanks to its flexibility and its cost/time savings compared to a prototype-based approach.
The candidate will be in charge of developing and refining a multi-body mechanical model representing the complete valvetrain system (incl. camshaft). Simulations will be performed to evaluate impact on valve motion of sizing/stiffness of the camshaft. The timing drive will be modelled (incl. cam-phaser) as well and integrated into the system-level valvetrain one, to investigate mutual influence. Finally, torsional oscillations in the system will be correlated vs measurements.
The activity will be based on the 1D multi-physics simulation software GT-SUITE.
