About this book

This book describes the procedures of developing an adaptive suspension system with examples. This book gives a thorough introduction to air suspension systems, which contain height leveling systems, electronic control systems, design fundamentals, performance superiority, etc. This book encompasses all essential aspects of suspension systems and provides an easy approach to their understanding and design. Provides a step-by-step approach using pictures, graphs, tables, and examples so that the reader may easily grasp difficult concepts. This book defines and examines suspension mechanisms and their geometrical features. Suspension motions and ride models are derived for the study of vehicle ride comfort. Analysis of suspension design factors and component sizing along with air suspension systems and their functionalities are reviewed.
