The aim of the book is to be a reference book in automotive technology, as far as automotive chassis (i.e. everything that is inside a vehicle except the engine and the body) is concerned. The book is a result of a decade of work heavily sponsored by the FIAT group (who supplied material, together with other automotive companies, and sponsored the work).

The first volume deals with the design of automotive components and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a vehicle ...

This comprehensive overview of chassis technology presents an up-to-date picture for vehicle construction and design engineers in education and industry. The book acts as an introduction to the engineering design of the automobile's fundamental mechanical systems. Clear text and first class diagrams are used to relate basic engineering principles to the particular requirements of the chassis.

In addition, the 2nd edition of 'The Automotive Chassis' has a new author team and has been completel...

For undergraduate Mechanics of Materials courses in Mechanical, Civil, and Aerospace Engineering departments. Thorough coverage, a highly visual presentation, and increased problem solving from an author you trust. Mechanics of Materials clearly and thoroughly presents the theory and supports the application of essential mechanics of materials principles.

Professor Hibbeler's concise writing style, countless examples, and stunning four-color photorealistic art program - all shaped by the comm...

Comprehensively covers the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics with application to automotive mechatronics. Presents a number of different design, analysis and implementation considerations related to automobiles, including power requirements, converters, performance, fuel consumption and vehicle dynamic models.Covers the dynamics, modeling and control of not only the entire vehicle system, but also of key elements of the vehicle such as transmissions, and hybrid systems integration. Includes ex...

The tables contain the most important guide...

The modern software for Finite Element Method calculations is a powerful tool when making strength and stiffness calculations. However, this is only the case when FEM is applied correctly. This work contains all the information necessary for a thorough understanding of the FEM and its correct application:

- how are structures to be modelled into building blocks that can be used for calculations in an FEM program?

- how are FEM programs organised internally?

This book, Finite element method pa...

- Leert technische studenten op een praktische wijze (zelfstandig) beroepsproducten te schrijven

- heldere instructies, schema’s en tabellen voor het schrijven van adviezen en rapporten;

- inclusief een overzichtelijk stappenplan voor het schrijfproces.

Veel technische teksten worden in opdracht geschreven. Opdrachtgevers hebben behoefte aan kennis en advies en zijn bereid deze in te kopen bij technisch specialisten. Met een rapport zijn opdrachtgevers in staat om te beslissen, te producer...

Sterkteleer is een standaardwerk op het gebied van de mechanica. Het geeft een duidelijke en grondige introductie in de theorie en de toepassingen van de sterkteleer. Techniekstudenten krijgen inzicht in de materie doordat het fysische gedrag van materialen onder belasting wordt verklaard. Vervolgens wordt dit gedrag gemodelleerd en kan de theorie worden afgeleid. De nadruk ligt hierbij op evenwicht, compatibiliteit van de vervormingen en de eisen die aan het materiaal moeten worden gesteld.
