The Automotive Chassis Volume 1 Components Design

Title: The Automotive Chassis Volume 1 Components Design Author(s): Giancarlo Genta, L. Morello Series: Mechanical Engineering Series Year: 2009 Language: English Pages (biblio\tech): 633\633 ISBN: 1402086741, 978-1-4020-8674-8 The aim of the book is to be a reference book in automotive technology, as far as automotive chassis (i.e. everything that is inside a vehicle except the engine and the body) is concerned. The book is a result of a decade of work heavily sponsored by the FIAT group (who supplied material, together with other automotive companies, and sponsored the work). The first volume deals with the design of automotive components and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a vehicle as a system.
