The Shock Absorber Handbook




Preface to Second Edition

In view of the tremendous worldwide production of automotive dampers (shock absorbers), the former

absence of a book devoted to this topic is surprising. During some years of damper design, research and

commercial testing, the author has become aware of a need for a suitable book to present the

fundamentals of damper design and use, for the benefit of the many designers of vehicles such as

passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, racing cars and so on, since the necessary body of knowledge is far

from readily available in the research literature. Damper designers themselves will already be familiar

with most of the material here, but may find some useful items, especially with regard to installation

motion ratios and behaviour of the vehicle as a whole, but in any case will probably be pleased to see

the basic material collected together.
