Road Vehicle Suspensions 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 an invaluable reference source for automotive design, test, and development engineers, as well as a useful student text.CONTENTS INCLUDE Basic characteristics of wheel suspensionsKinematic analysis of wheel suspensionsThe tyreSprings and dampersTraction and brakingCorneringThe steeringElasto-kinematicsSynthesis and designMotorcycle suspensionsIndependent wheel suspensionsRigid-axle suspensionsCompound suspensionsReferencesIndex
