4-Post Rig Damper Modelling

Damper modelling work for the Oxford Brookes Racing 4-post rig, using MATLAB and Simulink.

I had to develop the damper model for the team’s 4PR vehicle simulation with damper dyno data.

I had never done anything like this before so I had to teach myself how I could do this in Matlab and Simulink. This involved doing research and once I had done that I would ask fellow member of the vehicle dynamics team questions on any questions I had left about the task after I had done my research.

So after a day of doing research I would then start the task and once I had completed my first attempt I would then ask fellow team members what they thought and asked if they had any feedback and then make changes based on their feedback. I would do this until the model was complete and everyone was happy with the model.

This taught me that no matter the challenge whether I had experience in it or not I could overcome it by doing research and asking fellow teammates for feedback the task could be completed. This further improved my skills in communication and teamwork. This also gave me great experience before my maths coursework last year which I got 95% in it.
