Chassis Engineering - Chassis Design, Building & Tuning For High Performance Handling
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. But in HPBooks Chassis Engineering, chassis expert Herb Adams clearly 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 offer the information on what it takes to design, build and tune the ultimate chassis for maximum cornering power, both on and off the track.
Sections include:
- Tyre Characteristics
- Weight Distribution
- Roll Angle & Roll Force
- Bushings
- Springs & Shocks
- Front Suspension Design & Building
- Rear Suspension Design & Building
- Frame Design & Building
- Aerodynamic Downforce
- Vehicle Testing & Tuning.
Chassis Engineering gives you the inside edge on how to apply the principles of suspension and chassis design for any application.
