Covering the latest data acquisition technology, topics include:
-- Straight-line acceleration
-- Braking
-- Gearing
-- Cornering
-- Quantifying roll stiffness distribution
-- Wheel loads and weight transfer
-- Frequencies and shock absorbers
-- Aerodynamics
-- Analyzing the driver
-- Simulation tools
The list price of this 305-page hardcover book is $79.95; SAE members can purchase it for $63.96. For more information on the book, please visit http://www.sae.org/technical/books/R-367.
