Wavey Dynamics.

A snapshot of work over the last few months… blessings upon blessings.. I’ve been a little quiet online recently, but I’m exactly where I need to be 💫. Still here, still alive, still kicking. Life is good.

At the Automotive Testing Technology Expo a couple of months ago, the BeamNG GmbH had a huge presence, We met Thomas Fischer the co founder and CEO there to have a chat with him about the software and it’s ambitions in the automotive space. Known for its super realistic physics, BeamNG is a powerful development tool, where it offers a realistic environment to carry out digital development from ADAS to vehicle dynamics, crashes and all 😉. #beinspired

Join us for some exciting slow-motion footage as we unpack the key differences in suspension response and setup between prototype (LMDh) and GT3 cars. What are the differences, and why do they exist? We explore three main aspects: 1. Ride 2. Chassis mode response 3. Contact patch force/pressure variation Fundamentally, high-aero LMDh cars require a stable aerodynamic platform to maximise performance, while GT3 cars, with less aerodynamic focus, achieve performance through optimal management of conditions at the contact patch. Come figure out how. Visual learning is powerful—enjoy the journey with us! https://lnkd.in/ek-c-c7X

June in Stuttgart. A couple of weeks ago, at the Automotive Testing Technology International expo, our company was honoured to participate, with Jahee invited to judge their awards and deliver a talk on the use of AI in simulations and testing. It was a productive few days in Germany, a country we always enjoy visiting, providing valuable opportunities to connect with other professionals in the field. Cheers to that! The future of testing is most certainly digital!

We’ve just concluded a research project we had running with Imperial College over the last year. 🎉 Loïc a Masters Mechanical Engineering student has been doing some great research on a really interesting composites application we’re exploring. Earlier this week we went to see him present the project to his classmates and the faculty.. Nice work Loic..! The research has highlighted many avenues to pursue going forward, so the next steps of this project are going to be very interesting! Stay tuned..! #beinspired

🏎️ Welcome to the launch of our exciting new series with MOVEdot! In this episode, Jahee (Wavey Dynamics) and Bruno Finco (MOVEdot) dive into the fascinating world of tyres, comparing the unique engineering demands of passenger cars and race cars. Discover the intricacies of tyre performance, from grip and viscoelastic parameters like storage modulus and loss factor to wear, degradation, temperature behaviour, and ride/NVH considerations. This episode offers a deep dive into the contrasting yet interconnected aspects of these critical components. https://lnkd.in/eeeZA9mu Stay tuned for more insightful episodes—don’t miss out! 🔍📈

Jahee, Wavey Dynamics' Director and COO of Driven By Us was interviewed by Sky Sports News.. We covered topics from diversity in motorsport, to the future of the sport and the challenges it currently faces. A bright future for the sport is just ahead, we're making sure it's an inclusive one. --- Driven by Us is an organisation working to inspire and provide representation for young, underrepresented people into STEM careers through the platform of Motorsport.

Controls is the branch of engineering which bridges a gap between hardware and software. With all the advanced mechatronic systems onboard cars in the LMH and LMDh class, the algorithms required for precise control of the hybrid powertrain and chassis control systems are very complex. It’s also one of the few areas of performance development which is not limited by regulations, so there’s lots of development potential. We spoke with Ferrari and Bosch Motorsport to learn how they're gaining an advantage. Here are some poignant excerpts from these conversations for an article we wrote for Racecar Engineering Magazine's May Issue.

This week, we feature some beautiful footage from the IMSA 12h at Sebring, a track renowned for its challenging bumps.   This footage isn’t just a treat for the eyes; it’s a practical lesson in vehicle dynamics! One of the things to observe is a great demonstration of the vehicle showing itself to be an an over-constrained system. With four wheels, it has one more than necessary to manage its six degrees of freedom and maintain equilibrium. Consequently, a bump affecting the vertical load at one wheel directly impacts the other three, creating a complex interplay of forces that influence the vehicle’s state.   This behaviour can be fine-tuned through adjustments to spring stiffness and damping rates.   Beyond sensor data, observing these dynamics in action really offers some profound insights into performance, Reminding us that sometimes, our own eyes are the best tools for understanding the principles of vehicle dynamics. Don’t neglect them!   #beinspired
