Despite the assistance provided by electronic control systems, the latest generation of
passenger car chassis still relies heavily on conventional chassis elements. This book
examines these conventional elements and their interactions with mechatronic systems
within the context of driving dynamics. Chassis fundamentals and design are described in
the initial chapters, followed by a practical examination of driving dynamics and detailed
descriptions and explanations of modern chassis components. A separate section is
devoted to axles and the processes used during axle development. This first English
edition features a number of improvements over the latest German edition, including
revised illustrations and several updates in the text and list of references.
