AUTHOR(S): William F. Milliken, Douglas L. Milliken
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. 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.
Reviews
"The definitive reference work on vehicle dynamics in general, and in racecars in particular..." - Racecar Engineering
"An impressive... blend of analytical understanding and hard won practical experience from both passenger and race car design." - Automotive Engineer (published by IMechE)
"No other source provides such complete answers to why racing cars behave as they do. Very highly recommended." - Vintage Motorsport
"Probably the most important book yet written on this vital and all-embracing subject." - Racecar Engineering
"An impressive... blend of analytical understanding and hard won practical experience from both passenger and race car design." - Automotive Engineer (published by IMechE)
We offer no apologies for making this important... book our choice for the second time around. Widely welcomed, its content is already beingput to good use by many race car engineers... Today, anyone who wishes to make a career by understanding the automobile and its vagaries should start here. And anyone who wishes to appear to understand it should have this book on his or her desk--in the same way that Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time is essential!
