HPBooks, 1993. 135 p. — ISBN 1-55788-055-7. Качество: Отсканированные страницыОписание: В книге рассматриваются основные параметры шасси гоночных автомобилей (довольно кратко, но вполне доступно): характеристики шин, подвеска, конструкция рамы, аэродинамика. In most forms of racing, cornering speed is the key to winning. On the street, precise and predictable handling is the key to high performance driving. However, the art and science of engineering a chassis can be difficult to comprehend, let alone apply. "Chassis Engineering" explains the complex principles of suspension geometry and chassis design in terms the novice can easily understand and apply to any project. Hundreds of photos and illustrations illustrate what it takes to design, build, and tune the ultimate chassis for maximum cornering power on and off the track.Introduction Tire characteristics Weight distribution & dynamics Roll angle & roll force distribution Bushings & deflections Springs & shocks Types of front suspension Front suspension design Building a front suspension Live axle rear suspension design Independent rear suspension design Building rear suspensions Frame design Building a frame Aerodynamic downforce Rotating inertia Vehicle testing & tuning Index
