This text gives a comprehensive survey of the kinematics,
elasto-kinematics, and design methods for vehicle wheel
suspensions. Available for the first time in English (from the
second edition in German), this book will serve as a reference
source for automotive design, test, and development engineers, as
well as a useful student text. The opening section takes a broad
look at suspension systematics, kinematic analysis, tyre
properties, and springing mechanisms. This is followed by an
explanation of how traction and braking events, steering, and
cornering are affected by the suspension itself and by driveline
elements such as driveshafts, universal joints, and hub reduction
gears. Underlying these considerations is the "theorem of virtual
work". This enables the author to presents easily understandable
explanations and mathematical equations. Only those equations
essential to the theoretical background are used, the preference
throughout being for the good visualisation of the various problems
and solutions using a host of diagrams and schematic drawings.
Rounding off the theoretical chapters is a detailed assessment of
the contribution of elasto-kinematics (the significance of which is
now widely recognised) and of practical design features that stem
from it. Finally, the author presents and comments on a
representative selection of independent, rigid-axle, and compound
suspension systems for passenger cars and motorcycles, using
historical as well as current examples because of the lessons that
can be learnt from past experience.
