In spite of all the assistance offered by electronic control systems,
the latest generation of passenger car chassis still relies on
conventional chassis elements. With a view towards driving dynamics,
this book examines these conventional elements and their interaction
with mechatronic systems. First, it describes the fundamentals and
design of the chassis and goes on to examine driving dynamics with a
particularly practical focus. This is followed by a detailed description
and explanation of the modern components. A separate section is devoted
to the axles and processes for axle development.
With its revised illustrations and several updates in the text and list
of references, this new edition already includes a number of
improvements over the first edition.
