Automotive suspension design aims to not only enhance dynamic performances but also elevate the vehicle’s handling characteristics. Handling stems from the feedback the vehicle provides to the driver about grip conditions and how responsive the controls are to lateral movements. Enhanced handling fine-tunes the driver’s connection with the car, simplifying the prediction of dynamic responses and fostering increased confidence when pushing the vehicle to its limits.
This comprehensive volume provides an in-depth guide to understanding the intricacies of suspension systems and the associated elastokinematic study, which focuses on controlling the vehicle’s lateral dynamic behaviour. This refers to both the absolute performance and the driving sensation.
While the text adopts a scientific approach, demanding a sound technical background for a complete grasp of the subject matter, it also covers various topics accompanied by practical insights that do not require in-depth mathematical acumen. The illustrations included are intentionally straightforward and schematic, designed more to facilitate the understanding of physical phenomena than to detail the specific elements involved.
