EV Chassis Engineering Handbook

By Wayne Donahue

Master the Next Generation of Sustainable Mobility with the Ultimate Professional Blueprint for EV Platform Architecture The electric vehicle revolution has fundamentally redefined the automobile. Where the chassis was once a passive structural carrier holding together an internal combustion engine, it has transformed into an active, complex system. The modern EV platform must simultaneously support massive high-voltage battery packs, survive extreme crash profiles, route advanced thermal networks, and govern ultra-fast torque vectoring through intelligent software.
Written by automotive authority Wayne Donahue, "EV Chassis Engineering Handbook" is a state-of-the-art, systems-level desk reference designed for professional design engineers, automotive researchers, and advanced engineering students. It breaks free from outdated ICE constraints to explore ground-up electric vehicle platform engineering from first principles.
Spanning eight comprehensive, multidisciplinary parts, this technical handbook leaves no detail unexamined: Platform Architectures & Philosophies: Compare dedicated EV vs. adapted ICE architectures. Master skateboard platform design, modularity, and structural scalability.Structural Safety & Global Standards: Navigate mandatory compliance including UNECE, FMVSS, Euro NCAP, and China's stringent GB 38031 thermal containment limits.Advanced Materials & Megacasting: Implement multi-material strategies utilizing UHSS steel, structural aluminum extrusions, CFRP composites, and cutting-edge Gigacasting topology.Battery Integration & Thermal Networks: Optimize cell-to-body (CTB) engineering, structural load-bearing battery enclosures, underbody armor, and low-temperature cooling circuits.Subsystem Kinematics & Active Technologies: Calibrate EV suspension, air springs, electronically controlled damping, and Variable Ratio Steer-by-Wire (SbW) architecture.Drive Integration & Advanced Dynamics: Synchronize blended regenerative braking, dual/quad motor layouts, yaw control, and high-frequency inverter EMI/EMC mitigation.Complete with rigorous Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling guidelines, digital twin tech overviews, and exhaustive formula quick-references, this is an indispensable guide for anyone shaping the software-defined vehicle era.Secure the definitive reference manual for your engineering desk.
