This textbook draws on the authors' experience gained by teaching
courses for engineering students on e.g. vehicle mechanics, vehicle
system design, and chassis design; and on their practical
experience as engineering designers for vehicle and chassis
components at a major automotive company. The book is primarily
intended for students of automotive engineering, but also for all
technicians and designers working in this field. Other enthusiastic
engineers will also find it to be a useful technical guide. The
present volume (The Automotive Chassis - Volume 2: System Design)
focuses on the automotive chassis as a system, providing readers
with the knowledge needed to integrate the individual components
described in Volume 1 in a complex system that satisfies customers'
expectations. Special emphasis is given to factors influencing
system performance, including: - the influence of the powertrain on
vehicle performance. Conventional, hybrid and electric powertrains
are considered; - factors influencing vehicles' handling
performance; - factors influencing vehicles' comfort performance;
and - factors influencing vehicles' stability and strategies for
accident avoidance (active safety). In addition, this second volume
thoroughly covers topics that are usually neglected in other books
about the automotive chassis, such as: - the basics of vehicle
aerodynamics; - internal combustion engines, electric motors and
batteries; and - mathematical modeling tools. This thoroughly
revised second edition has been updated to reflect the latest
advances in electric and hybrid vehicles, electronic control
systems and autonomous driving.
