| Abstract
|
:
|
Provides for the first time a large, unified knowledge base laying the foundation for advanced study and research in automotive engineering. The Encyclopedia of Automotive Engineering has been developed in conjunction with FISITA, the umbrella organisation for national automotive societies in 37 countries around the world, representing over 190,000 automotive engineers. Through extensive cross-referencing and search functionality it provides a gateway to detailed but scattered information on best industry practice, engendering a better understanding of interrelated concepts and techniques that cut across specialized areas of engineering. Beyond traditional automotive subjects the Encyclopedia addresses green technologies, the shift from mechanics to electronics, and the means to produce safer, more efficient vehicles within varying economic restraints worldwide. The work comprises nine main parts: (1) Engines: Fundamentals (2) Engines: Design (3) Hybrid and Electric Powertrains (4) Transmission and Driveline (5) Chassis Systems (6) Electrical and Electronic Systems (7) Body Design (8) Materials and Manufacturing (9) Intelligent Transport Systems. *Authoritative coverage of the wide-ranging specialist topics encompassed by automotive engineering. *An accessible point of reference for entry level engineers and students who require an understanding of the fundamentals of technologies outside of their own expertise or training. *Invaluable guidance to more detailed texts and research findings in the technical literature *Available both as a fully searchable, updating online resource, and in a print edition (publishing January 2015) comprising six volumes and over 4000 pages. An essential resource for libraries and information centres in industry, research and training organizations, professional societies, government departments, and all relevant engineering departments in the academic sector. Readers/users will include: Professional engineers and technical staff in industry; senior undergraduate and postgraduate level students and researchers; educators and trainers; industry analysts and researchers.--Provided by publisher.
