Book Synopsis How to Be a Race Engineer by : Rex Keen
Download or read book How to Be a Race Engineer written by Rex Keen and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of books gives you the knowledge to become a successful Race Engineer. There are many good engineering books, but none have been written specifically for someone engineering a Race Car.Whether you are fresh out of university or a club racer wanting to know more; this series is for you. This collection of books has come about for many reasons. My fascination with the technical side of motorsport, the desire to go faster, the desire to learn, and a most importantly to help aspiring Race Engineers. The desire to learn how make machines go faster started as a 10 year old with my first Moto X bike. I kept wondering why the works bikes looked so different to mine in the magazines. Trouble was there were no books to show me how to turn my bike into a works replica.So, I just pulled the forks and dampers apart and tried different oil, valving and springs. Eventually some of the modifications proved successful, but I always thought it would have been so much easier if I had a guide book.I was in the same boat when I started racing my first formula ford. Having to prepare the car myself as well as drive it and engineer it on race day. None of my fellow competitors were going to tell me how to set up the car. And I just couldn't find information that was race engineering specific. I also spent a lot of money with suspension and race prep "experts" who I found out later really did not know what they were doing.When I started working as a Data Engineer in professional motorsport and had to troll through two, floor to ceiling book shelves full of books to find answers to problems. Why can't there be just one book with what a race engineer needs to know I used to think.And finally, the thing that got me writing was working with new Data / Race Engineers. Most were intelligent, hardworking and eager to learn. However, they often came into the team without knowing or understanding what they needed to do as a Race Engineer.I decided to write the first volume on shock absorbers for several reasons. Shock absorbers are the least understood of all components in a race car. I see this nearly every day as part of my business is tuning shock absorbers for customers with many different types of race cars.The most important thing you can take from this book is that shock absorbers are not a black art. Like any mechanical component or any machine in its dynamic state it all comes back to engineering from first principles. Yes, experience does play its part to get the most out of your shocks and give the feel driver wants. But, if you start off following the basic principles laid out in this book, you will soon have your dampers in the ball park.

Book Synopsis Analysis Techniques for Racecar Data Acquisition by : Jorge Sergers
Download or read book Analysis Techniques for Racecar Data Acquisition written by Jorge Sergers and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racecar data acquisition used to be limited to well-funded teams in high-profile championships. Today, the cost of electronics has decreased dramatically, making them available to everyone. But the cost of any data acquisition system is a waste of money if the recorded data is not interpreted correctly. This book, updated from the best-selling 2008 edition, contains techniques for analyzing data recorded by any vehicle's data acquisition system. It details how to measure the performance of the vehicle and driver, what can be learned from it, and how this information can be used to advantage next time the vehicle hits the track. Such information is invaluable to racing engineers and managers, race teams, and racing data analysts in all motorsports. Whether measuring the performance of a Formula One racecar or that of a road-legal street car on the local drag strip, the dynamics of vehicles and their drivers remain the same. Identical analysis techniques apply. Some race series have restricted data logging to decrease the team’s running budgets. In these cases it is extremely important that a maximum of information is extracted and interpreted from the hardware at hand. A team that uses data more efficiently will have an edge over the competition. However, the ever-decreasing cost of electronics makes advanced sensors and logging capabilities more accessible for everybody. With this comes the risk of information overload. Techniques are needed to help draw the right conclusions quickly from very large data sets. In addition to updates throughout, this new edition contains three new chapters: one on techniques for analyzing tire performance, one that provides an introduction to metric-driven analysis, a technique that is used throughout the book, and another that explains what kind of information the data contains about the track.

Book Synopsis Race, Rigor, and Selectivity in U. S. Engineering by : Amy E. Slaton
Download or read book Race, Rigor, and Selectivity in U. S. Engineering written by Amy E. Slaton and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the educational and professional advances made by minorities in recent decades, African Americans remain woefully underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, mathematics, and engineering. Even at its peak, in 2000, African American representation in engineering careers reached only 5.7 percent, while blacks made up 15 percent of the U.S. population. Some forty-five years after the Civil Rights Act sought to eliminate racial differences in education and employment, what do we make of an occupational pattern that perpetually follows the lines of race? Race, Rigor, and Selectivity in U.S. Engineering pursues this question and its ramifications through historical case studies. Focusing on engineering programs in three settings--in Maryland, Illinois, and Texas, from the 1940s through the 1990s--Amy E. Slaton examines efforts to expand black opportunities in engineering as well as obstacles to those reforms. Her study reveals aspects of admissions criteria and curricular emphases that work against proportionate black involvement in many engineering programs. Slaton exposes the negative impact of conservative ideologies in engineering, and of specific institutional processes--ideas and practices that are as limiting for the field of engineering as they are for the goal of greater racial parity in the profession.
Download or read book Chassis Engineering written by Herb Adams and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-11-19 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most forms of racing, cornering speed is the key to winning. On the street, precise and predictable handling is the key to high performance driving. However, the art and science of engineering a chassis can be difficult to comprehend, let alone apply. Chassis Engineering explains the complex principles of suspension geometry and chassis design in terms the novice can easily understand and apply to any project. Hundreds of photos and illustrations illustrate what it takes to design, build, and tune the ultimate chassis for maximum cornering power on and off the track.

Book excerpt: In 2006, a small unavailing university auto racing team began building a racecar that would challenge the best engineering schools in the world. With fewer people and resources than any of the top competitors, the only way they were going to win was to push the limit, go for broke, and hope for more than a little luck. By the time they got to the racetrack, they knew: In the fog of fierce competition, whether you win or lose, you learn the hardest lessons about engineering, teamwork, friendship, and yourself.

Advanced jet engines may have been in development but every militarily significant air battle was fought by piston-engined fighters. Whoever designed the most powerful piston engines would win air superiority and with it the ability to dictate the course of the war as a whole. This is the never before told story of a high-tech race, hidden behind the closed doors of design offices and intelligence agencies, to create the war's best fighter engine. Using the fruits of extensive research in archives around the world together with the previously unpublished memoirs of fighter engine designers, author Calum E. Douglas tells the story of a desperate contest between the world's best engineers - the Secret Horsepower Race.
