This book offers complete coverage of chassis components made of composite materials and covers elastokinematics and component compliances of vehicles. It looks at parts made of composite materials such as stabilizer bars, wheels, half-axes, springs, and semi-trail axles. The book also looks at the basic principles for the design optimization using composite materials and mass reduction principles. This book covers the basic principles for the design optimization using composite materials and mass reduction principles, evaluates the vertical, lateral, and roll stiffness of the vehicle, and explains the modelling of the vehicle stiffness, discusses the composite materials for the suspension and powertrain design and features closed form solutions of problems for car dynamics explained in details and illustrated pictorially.
