Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book attempts to find a middle ground by balancing engineering principles and equations of use to every automotive engineer with practical explanations of the mechanics involved, so that those without a formal engineering degree can still comprehend and use most of the principles discussed. Either as an introductory text or a practical professional overview, this book is an ideal reference.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Acceleration performance -- Braking performance -- Road loads -- Ride -- Steady-state cornering -- Suspensions -- The steering system -- Rollover -- Tires.
