4 Preface A common concern of the automotive industry is that new recruits/graduates are more than able to operate the modern computer-aided design packages but are not fully aware or knowledgeable about the basic theory within the programmes. Because of that lack of basic understanding, they are unable to develop the commercial package(s) to suit the company s needs nor readily appreciate the output values. Even more important, as time progresses and that basic knowledge becomes rarer within companies, the reliance on commercial software suppliers increases, along with costs. There is a continuing need for companies to become self-sufficient and be in a position to develop bespoke design tools specific to their needs. The advances in electric vehicle technology and move towards autonomous driving make it necessary for the engineer to continually upgrade their fundamental understanding and interrelationship of vehicle systems. The engineers in their formative years of training need to be in a position to contribute to the development of new systems and indeed realise new ones. To make a contribution it is necessary to, again, understand the technology and fundamental understanding of vehicle systems. This textbook is written for students and practicing engineers working or interested in automotive engineering. It provides a fundamental yet comprehensive understanding of chassis systems and presumes little prior knowledge by the reader beyond that normally presented in Bachelor level courses in mechanical or automotive engineering. The book presents the material in a practical and realistic manner, often using reverse engineering as a basis for examples to reinforce understanding of the topics. Existing vehicle specifications and characteristics are used to exemplify the application of theory. Each chapter starts with a review of basic theory and practice before proceeding to consider more advanced topics and research directions. Care is taken to ensure each subject area integrates with other sections of the book to clearly demonstrate their interrelationships. The book opens with a chapter on basic vehicle mechanics which indicates the forces acting on a vehicle in motion, assuming the vehicle to be a rigid body. Although this material will be familiar to many readers, it is a necessary prerequisite to the more specialist material that follows. The book then proceeds to a chapter on v

5 vi Preface steering systems which includes a firm understanding of the principles and forces involved under both static and dynamic loading. The next chapter provides an appreciation of vehicle dynamics through the consideration of suspension systems tyres, linkages, springs, dampers, etc. The chassis structures and materials chapter includes analysis tools (typically FEA) and design features that are used on modern vehicles to reduce mass and to increase occupant safety. The final chapter on Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) includes a basic overview of acoustic and vibration theory and makes use of extensive research investigations and test procedures as a means to alleviate NVH issues. In all subject areas, the authors take account of modern trends, anticipating the move towards electric vehicles, on-board diagnostic monitoring, active systems and performance optimisation. The book contains a number of worked examples and case studies based on recent research projects. All students, especially those on Masters level degree courses in Automotive Engineering, as well as professionals in industry who want to gain a better understanding of vehicle chassis engineering will benefit from this book.
