Synopsis
This set includes Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, and Race Car Vehicle Dynamics - Problems, Answers and Experiments.
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 tyre data normalization. The book also includes contributions from other experts in the field.
Chapters cover:
•The Problem Imposed by Racing
•Tire Behavior
•Aerodynamic Fundamentals
•Vehicle Axis Systems and more.
Written for the engineer as well as the race car enthusiast and students, the companion workbook to the original classic book, Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, includes:
•Detailed worked solutions to all of the problems
•Problems for every chapter in Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, including many new problems
•The Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Program Suite (for Windows) with accompanying exercises
•Experiments to try with your own vehicle
•Educational appendix with additional references and course outlines
•Over 90 figures and graphs
This workbook is widely used as a college textbook and has been an SAE International best seller since it's introduction in 1995.

Biographie de l'auteur
In 1930, Bill Milliken designed, built, flew and crashed his own airplane. Since then he has had a strong interest in vehicle handling problems! After graduating from MIT in 1934, he worked in the aircraft industry for 20 years in analysis, wind tunnel and flight testing, with emphasis on stability and control. He was assistant head of Flight Test at Boeing Aircraft during World War II, and was on the first flights of the prototype XB-29 and several B-17 models. As head of Flight Research at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) he initiated a program for measuring aircraft dynamics in flight using automatic control techniques, accomplishing the first frequency response measurements. Also, as co-inventor of the variable stability aircraft (circa 1948) he was invloved in pioneering stability augmentation and modern electrohydraulic flight control systems. Bill Milliken competed in over 100 post-war road races. He was a founding member of the Watkins Glen Road Races, serving as head of the Rules Committee. He competed in the very first Watkins Glen event in 1948 (in which he rolled-over). "Milliken's Corner" on the original Watkins Glen circuit is named after him. He drove cars such as Type 35 and 54 Bugattis and an ex-Indy four wheel drive Miller at Watkins Glen, Pikes Peak, Sebring and many others across North America for 15 years. Later, continuing involvement included a term as Chief Steward for the Formula One US Grand Prix. As a result of his racing activity, he became interested in automobile stability and control and the potential for applications of aircraft technology. Under the sponsorship of General Motors, vehicle dynamics activity at CAL developed and substantiated the automobile dynamic equations of motion and developed the first variable stability (servo-controlled) cars. The first six-component tire testing machine was developed, leading to TIRF, the original high-speed, flat-belt tire tester which, some 30 years later, is still one of the most advanced tire testing machines in the world. In 1976 Bill Milliken started his own consulting/research firm, Milliken Research Associates, Inc. (MRA). MRA engages in analytical and testing contracts over the range of vehicle dynamics topics. Original developments include the Moment Method approach to automobile stability and control, tire data non-dimensionalization, specialized computer programs for race application, etc.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Includes Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Program Suite on CD-ROM, a valuable learning tool and brand new addition to the RCVD series! Written for the engineer as well as the race car enthusiast, Race Car Vehicle Dynamics (the original classic) gives a comprehensive treatment of vehicle dynamics and its application in a racing environment. RCVD, now in its sixth printing, is also widely used as a college textbook and has been an SAE best seller since its introduction. Race Car Vehicle Dynamics: Problem, Answers and Experiments is a supplement to RCVD. It expands on the former RCVD Workbook in a number of ways: Detailed worked solutions to all of the problems Problems for every chapter in RCVD, including many new problems The RCVD Program Suite (for windows) with accompanying exercises Experiments to try with your own vehicle Educational appendix with additional references and course outlines Well illustrated with over 90 figures and graphs. In addition to students, these worked solutions should be of interest to a wide audience, greatly expanding the examples presented in the original RCVD. The Program Suite was originally used in conjunction with a university course and has been specially developed for inclusion with this book. The educational supplement will be of interest to users who are unable to attend formal classes and wish to continue their education. Engineers and designers of passenger cars, as well as race cars, will find worked solutions to many common problems.
