Suspension Analysis and Computational Geometry.

Suspension Analysis and Computational Geometry.

Revealing suspension geometry design methods in unique detail, John Dixon shows how suspension properties such as bump steer, roll steer, bump camber, compliance steer and roll centres are analysed and controlled by the professional engineer. He emphasizes the physical understanding of suspension pa...
