The automotive chassis [electronic resource] : engineering principles : chassis and vehicle overall, wheel suspensions and types of drive, axle kinematics and elastokinematics, steering, springing, tyres, construction and calculations advice. 2nd ed. / Jornsen Reimpell, Helmut Stoll, Jurgen W. Betzler / translated from the German by AGET Limited. Oxford : Butterworth Heinemann, 2001. 1 online resource (x, 444 p.) : ill. This comprehensive overview of chassis technology presents an up-to-date picture for vehicle construction and design engineers in education and industry. The book acts as an introduction to the engineering design of the automobile's fundamental mechanical systems. Clear text and first class diagrams are used to relate basic engineering principles to the particular requirements of the chassis. In addition, the 2nd edition of 'The Automotive Chassis' has a new author team and has been completely updated to include new technology in total vehicle and suspension design, including platform concept and four-wheel drive technology. Nomenclature and units * Types of acclerating and wheel suspension * Tyres and wheels * Dynamics of axle and flexible components * Steering linkage * Springs and damping * Chassis and centre of gravity.
