B.E. (Automobile Engineering) Vehicle Dynamics Lab Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
The University has moved this degree onto NEP 2020 one year at a time. The first and second years are NEP 2020 syllabi; the third and fourth years are still examined on the REV-2019 'C' Scheme, which is what the University sets for them this year.

- 1 Plot performance characteristic curves for shock absorber.
- 2 Simulate ride behaviour using quarter car model
- 3 Simulate ride behaviour using half car model
- 4 Simulate using different road profiles for quarter car and half car model.
- 5 Calculate drag coefficient for different vehicles
- 6 Perform test on chassis dynamometer Term work: Term work shall consist of minimum 5 exercises, from the list, 6 assignments covering maximum portion of the syllabus (one on each module) or case study or mini project based on topics related to vehicle Dynamics. The case study or mini project is assigned for group of students and number of students in a group should not be more than two. The introduction of vehicle dynamics systems using any of the Dynamics software ( like CARSIM etc) can be given to the students as a part of term work.
List of Experiments
