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 treatsthe various aspects of the design of a vehicle as a system. Covers all aspects of the subject Covers both theoretical and the practical aspects Deals with updated points like numerical modelling and virtual prototyping Contains a large number of illustrations showing the design of actual components and systems, from many different manufacturers, together with worked numerical examples INDICE: From the contents Symbols List.- III Functions And Specifications.Introduction To Part Three. 17 Transportation Statistics. 18 Vehicle Functions.- IV The Chassis As A Part Of The Vehicle System.
