Authored by pioneers Bill and Doug Milliken, it covers original theories, detailed suspension and damper analysis, and practical data-driven methods, making it a must-have for mastering vehicle performance and handling. ## Description 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 tire data normalization. The book also includes contributions from other experts in the field. Review: The mother of all books about race cars - This is the mother of all books about race cars. If you were missing deep theoretical background on tuning your sports car or street car, this volume is for you. It is impossible to describe in detail what this textbook is about, in a single review. What I liked most is the chapter on dampers (shock absorbers). It gave me the answers to lots of questions that I had before reading this published work, for example how to choose "ride/handling compromise" when adjusting damping ratio? Why stiffer dampers are more comfortable on large-amplitude bumps, while softer dampers provide smoother ride on small-amplitude bumps? "In an automobile, a suspension is used to reduce the discomfort induced by unevenness in the highway. As measure of discomfort is the vertical acceleration that the passenger is subjected while sitting in the vehicle". The book demonstrates the model where the passenger is linked to the road via three springs in a sequence: tire, coil and the seat, and one damper (shock absorber). There is a graph showing passenger vertical acceleration depending on the amplitude (frequency) of road irregularities, for distinct shock absorbers with various damping ratios. For a stiff shock absorber this diagram shows relatively flat curve, where the vertical acceleration is almost independent of frequency of bumps. For the soft shock absorber, there is a very high peak (several times higher comparing to a stiff damper) of vertical acceleration for the low-frequency bumps, and this acceleration curve quickly decays as the frequency increases. There is another graph, "transient load transfer analysis", which shows that with soft dampers, the suspension load in a turn fluctuates. This is another answer to the question why stiffer dampers (to a certain extent) provide better handling. The order of the chapters is somewhat sporadic. The books is a mixture of sections of engineering information (formulas), historical background, sketches (e.g. torque arm rear axle suspension), recipes (KONI's published instructions for damper adjustment), and sample data (e.g. Goodyear tire data). Nevertheless, the work is so deep that in a couple of years after it's publication, it had been started being used as a university textbook. Based on comments from faculty, SAE have requested the authors to prepare a supplementary book of problems, to help the universities to examine the students. I also recommend "Theory of Ground Vehicles", by J. Y. Wong, in addition to this book. Review: Great bookseller. - Mediaus is an excellent vendor. This technical book was something I have wanted to get but waited to have funds to acquire. It arrived quickly and was brand new as described. It was packaged carefully and in a box to protect this fairly costly book. It was in excellent condition. This seller is one that is trustworthy and will buy from again. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #176,163 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Vehicle Design & Construction #27 in Aeronautical Engineering #87 in Automotive Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 170 Reviews | ## Images ![Race Car Vehicle Dymanics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m3gzulDoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The mother of all books about race cars *by M***N on April 3, 2005* This is the mother of all books about race cars.
