Truck Air Ride Suspensions

Truck Air Ride Suspensions

(OP)
I am a new engineer with a company that designs/builds Air Ride Suspensions for trucks.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any design/reference books for Air Ride Suspensions specifically or Truck Suspensions in general.

Thanks

You may find some good info. in Theory of Ground Vehicles by Wong.

RE: Truck Air Ride Suspensions

This is one of my hobbies. My Sonoma is outfitted with a complete air spring suspension set-up. My best reference material came from simple statics, i.e. free-body diagrams, range of motion geometry, etc.
After that, the existing linkage designs and automotive suspension designs are a good source for me.
Society of Automotive Engineers comes to mind.

There are quite a few SAE papers on this subject, including a book: "Truck Vehicle Dynamics & Suspensions", ref: #SP-1728.

Firestone Industrial Products Company is the dominant player in North America for truck air springs.
