Mechanical Components Of Automobile Vehicles And Equipment For Testing

This book examines the main mechanical components of the automobile and equipment for experimentation and understanding. It begins by presenting the theory of braking in a motor vehicle, as well as devices for evaluating this system. The following chapters investigate the types of brakes, disc and drum, the design and calculation of braking systems, the suspension systems, including different vehicle models for calculation, the elastic elements of the suspension, the shock absorber, and the air suspension. Given the importance of the systems described, this book is instrumental in understanding the elements of a vehicle's braking and suspension. The volume serves as an up-to-date reference work for researchers, instructors, and students in the field of automotive engineering.
