Fundaments, Driving Dynamics, Components, Mechatronics, Perspectives
2011, 591 pages
Despite the assistance provided by electronic control systems, the latest
generation of passenger car chassis still relies heavily on conventional chassis
elements. This book examines these conventional elements and their interactions
with mechatronic systems within the context of driving dynamics. Chassis fundamentals
and design are described in the initial chapters, followed by a practical examination
of driving dynamics and detailed descriptions and explanations of modern chassis
components. A separate section is devoted to axles and the processes used during
axle development. This first English edition features a number of improvements over
the latest German edition, including revised illustrations and several updates in
the text and list of references.
