Every one of the many millions of cars manufactured annually worldwide uses shock absorbers, otherwise known as dampers. These form a vital part of the suspension system of any vehicle, essential for optimizing road holding, performance and safety. This, the second edition of the Shock Absorber Handbook (first edition published in 1999), remains the only English language book devoted to the subject. Comprehensive coverage of design, testing, installation and use of the damper has led to the book's acceptance as the authoritative text on the automotive applications of shock absorbers. In this second edition, the author presents a thorough revision of his book to bring it completely up to date. There are numerous detail improvements, and extensive new material has been added particularly on the many varieties of valve design in the conventional hydraulic damper, and on modern developments such as electrorheological and magnetorheological dampers. "The Shock Absorber Handbook, 2nd Edition" provides a thorough treatment of the issues surrounding the design and selection of shock absorbers. It is an invaluable handbook for those working in industry, as well as a principal reference text for students of mechanical and automotive engineering.
Some 40 years ago, Leyland Australia ceased manufacturing passenger vehicles in Australia. These days, many of the cars produced by Nuffield (Australia), the Austin Motor Company (Australia) the British Motor Corporation (Australia), British Leyland Motor Corporation of Australia and Leyland Australia from 1950 to 1982 remain popular and have become classics. Of particular interest to present day owners, registration authorities, car club officials, as well as motoring and engineering historians, is a record of what BMC/Leyland passenger vehicles were produced and the means by which they were identified. Our aim in this book is to provide an authoritative reference to this end.
