Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
2024-05-07
This course will present an introduction to vehicle dynamics from a vehicle system perspective. The theory and applications are associated with the interaction and performance balance between the powertrain, brakes, steering, suspensions and wheel and tire vehicle subsystems.  The role that vehicle dynamics can and should play in effective automotive chassis development and the information and technology flow from vehicle system to subsystem to piece-part is integrated into the presentation. Governing equations of motion are developed and solved for both steady and transient conditions.

Understanding Energy Storage: The Battery Revolution
Anytime
This course discusses energy storage technologies, such as batteries, and how they affect the future of the transportation and power sectors. Specifically, it will explore why energy storage is important and how the battery revolution is already underway. The course will also examine the benefits of using battery energy storage for industrial products – underground mining – and mobility. The course mostly focuses on lithium-ion batteries.

Tire and Wheel Safety Issues
One of the most important safety critical components on cars, trucks, and aircraft is the pneumatic tire. Vehicle tires primarily control stopping distances on wet and dry roads or runways and strongly influence over-steer/under-steer behavior in handling maneuvers of cars and trucks. The inflated tire-wheel assembly also acts as a pressure vessel that releases a large amount of energy when catastrophically deflated. The tire can also serve as a fulcrum, both directly and indirectly, in contributing to vehicle rollover. This course covers these facets of tire safety phenomena.

The Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics
Anytime
This eLearning course featuring vehicle dynamics expert and best-selling author, Thomas D. Gillespie, provides a broad overview of vehicle performance, including engineering analyses and formulas that will allow participants to calculate useful performance metrics. The goal of this course is to provide participants with the tools to predict the performance of a car or truck in accelerating/braking, ride, and handling/rollover. In the process, participants come to understand the basic mechanisms and engineering principles that govern steering and suspension system design, as well as develop familiarity with the terminology.

Overview of AS6500, Manufacturing Management Program
Anytime
Poor manufacturing management can lead to cost overruns, schedule delays, and quality problems. In response, the SAE G-23 Manufacturing Management Committee developed and published AS6500, Manufacturing Management Program. The standard requires proven manufacturing management practices with the goal of delivering affordable and capable systems. It is applicable to all phases of a system acquisition life cycle and may be specified in a contract on any program with manufacturing content. This eLearning course addresses AS6500, why the standard was created, and how it relates to other SAE standards.

Nonferrous Metals Bundle
Anytime
Nonferrous materials are malleable, are non-magnetic, and have no iron content which gives them higher resistance to rust and corrosion. The following five eLearning courses are included in the Nonferrous Metals bundle.  Each course is approximately one-hour in duration. See Topics/Outline for additional details. Introduction to Physical Properties  This course provides an an overview of manufacturing materials and their physical properties, including thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties and introduces volumetric characteristics, such as mass, weight, and density.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Hybrid Battery Systems
Anytime
This course from SAE International training partner, FutureTech*, is a MUST for everyone servicing hybrid vehicles. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery systems continue primary battery technology in hybrid vehicles and have been since the 2000 model year.  If a technical professional doesn't know the fundamentals of NiMH operation it is impossible for them to perform a solid diagnosis or repair.  This course will concentrate on the NiMH technology, how it performs as it ages, how it can effect vehicle performance and fuel economy, and how to test it by using a scan tool.

Materials to Electrodes
Anytime
This course provides a deep yet simple explanation of the operational principles of a rechargeable battery. The course spotlights the importance and discusses the fundamentals of the ‘electrochemical cell’ which is the heart of any battery system independent of the storage size. A direct link is set forth between the chemical nature of the cell components and the storage properties of interest such as ‘electromotive force’ and gravimetric & volumetric capacities. Specific attention is directed towards lithium-ion batteries by presenting more details about the materials of choice for the anode/cathode together with their synthesis methods.

ISO 14001:2015 Standard Training
Anytime
ISO 14001:2015 is an environmental management standard (EMS) developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO 14001 standard is generic and can be used for any organization, whether it provides physical products or services. The requirements must be carefully interpreted to make sense within a particular organization. Developing automotive products and the environmental impact of this activity is not like producing food products or offering consulting services; yet the ISO 14001 standard, because it is business and management oriented can be applied to any activity.
