Download or read book Automotive Chassis Systems written by Tom Birch and published by Delmar Pub. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an experienced author, teacher and ASE certified technician, this first edition of Automotive Chassis Systems provides a comprehensive study of automotive chassis systems operation, inspection, troubleshooting, and repair. Braking, Suspension and Steering theory, inspection and service are combined in a one-text format making this the most up-to-date and complete text in this automotive area. The format of the text coincides with the basic methodology used to train technicians in the field. It begins by describing basic concepts, then discusses and demonstrates common chassis systems and completes study by directing the students to reference materials related to specific model types. Thoroughly illustrated and written in a clear concise manner, this text will prove to be a valuable resource for automotive students.(KEY WORDS: AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION)

Download or read book The Automotive Chassis written by Giancarlo Genta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 1: Component Design) focuses on automotive chassis components, such as:• the structure, which is usually a ladder framework and supports all the remaining components of the vehicle;• the suspension for the mechanical linkage of the wheels;• the wheels and tires;• the steering system;• the brake system; and• the transmission system, used to apply engine torque to the driving wheels. This thoroughly revised and updated second edition presents recent developments, particularly in brake, steering, suspension and transmission subsystems. Special emphasis is given to modern control systems and control strategies.

Download or read book The Automotive Chassis written by Giancarlo Genta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-26 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work serves as a reference concerning the automotive chassis, i.e. everything that is inside a vehicle except the engine and the body. It is the result of a decade of work mostly done by the FIAT group, who supplied material, together with other automotive companies, and sponsored the work. The first volume deals with the design of automotive components and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a vehicle as a system.

Download or read book Chassis Handbook written by Bernhard Heißing and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
