Handbook of Automotive Engineering by Ulrich, Braess, Hans-Hermann Seiffert - gebrauchtes Buch

This latest edition and successor to the well-known German-language handbook last published by Professors Heinrich Buschmann and Paul Koessler comprehensively describes the fascinating world of the automobile and its development. Serving concurrently as a "time capsule" and a timely resource, this technical reference book covers all areas of automotive research and thoroughly examines the recent state-of-the-art and rapidly changing developments of the automobile. From powertrains and electronics to vehicle safety and future materials, this handbook provides the reader with wide-ranging insight into all assemblies, components, and systems of modern motor vehicles and the complete life cycle of the automobile. In addition to gathering the most comprehensive information on automotive engineering technology, editors Hans-Hermann Braess and Ulrich Seiffert focus on balancing theory and practice and ensure they are communicated in a synergistic manner. Because of this desirable balance, more than 40 well-known authorities from the automotive and supplier industries engaged as contributors, and -- although this text is based primarily on the writings of German authors -- the global nature of the automobile industry ensures that its contents have worldwide applicability. If you are an engineer or automotive specialist who seeks to expand his or her knowledge, or a technically interested person, student, and non-technical layman who wishes to learn more about the modern automobile and its systems, this handbook is the reliable source for day-to-day advice and information.
