Publishedin February 2002, this 700 page book is based on previously unpublishedtechnical notes by vehicle dynamics pioneer Maurice Olley.Uponretirement, in the early 1960's Olley wrote a series of monographs totalling over 500 pages. These monographs set forththe foundations of vehicle dynamics as experienced by Olley himself. Hismathematics and explanations on oversteer/understeer, steering, ride, suspensiondesign, oscillations of the unsprung masses,overall vehicle dynamics and many other topics are as valid today as whenthey were first written.To read the text of the back cover, click.To see the Errata List, click.Bill andDoug Milliken have rearranged Olley's monographsinto a single book.
Olley's original figures havebeen retouched and retained. The mathematics has been updated to matchtoday's accepted symbols.
Explanatory comments and derivations have beenadded where it was thought to be helpful. Additional material is containedin the appendices and the book begins with Olley'sReminiscences-the closest Maurice Olley came to writing an autobiography.Weinvite readers to send their comments and suggested corrections to us at.Visitthe for purchasing information. At theSAE Automotive Dynamics and Stability Conference in Troy, Michigan, May 15,2000, Bill Milliken told some stories about Maurice Olley. Our good friend (and contributor to'Chassis Design'), Tom Bundorf, hascreatedfrom the video, using Bill's original lecture notes, scans from the videoand from various Olley publications.At thesame SAE Automotive Dynamics and Stability Conference, Tom Bundorf presented. Following the pioneering work ofOlley and his associates, a new generation of engineers put this technologyto use. Tom has created anillustrated version of his talk and kindly given us permission to post ithere.
The Automotive Chassis is the result of two decades of experience: On the one hand from the experience of teaching courses such as Vehicle Mechanics, Vehicle System Design, Chassis Design to engineering students; on the other hand from the design practice of vehicle and chassis components in a large automotive company.This work is addressed primarily to students of automotive engineering and secondarily to all technicians and designers working in this field. It is also addressed to all enthusiasts who are looking for a technical guide.The text is subdivided in two volumes.
From the reviews:'This comprehensive work on the automotive chassis covers a wide range of topics at a high level-both mathematically and in terms of the state-of-the-art in engineering. The first volume treats wheels, suspensions, steering, brakes, and transmissions. Genta’s extensive teaching experience at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy combined with Morello’s experience as director of vehicle engineering at Fiat allow them to write authoritatively on this topic. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional automotive and mechanical engineering collections.'
