Chassis Design: Principles and Analysis is based on Olley's technical writings, and is the first complete presentation of his life and work. This new book provides insight into the development of chassis technology and its practical application by a master. Many examples are worked out in the text and the analytical developments are grounded by Olley's years of design experience. Well-illustrated with over 400 figures and tables, as well as numerous appendices.

Written for the engineer as well as the race car enthusiast, Race Car Vehicle Dynamics includes much information that is not available in any other vehicle dynamics text. Truly comprehensive in its coverage of the fundamental concepts of vehicle dynamics and their application in a racing environment, this book has become the definitive reference on this topic. Although the primary focus is on the race car, the engineering fundamentals detailed are also applicable to passenger car design and engineering.Authors Bill and Doug Milliken have developed many of the original vehicle dynamics theories and principles covered in this book, including the Moment Method, ""g-g"" Diagram, pair analysis, lap time simulation, and tire data normalization. The book also includes contributions from other experts in the field.Chapters cover:The Problem Imposed by RacingTire BehaviorAerodynamic FundamentalsVehicle Axis Systemsand moreAlso available is the companion workbook Race Car Vehicle Dynamics - Problems, Answers and Experiments.
