New Book Provides Fundamentals Needed to Design Efﬁ cient Braking Systems

By Rudolf Limpert The objectives of this third edition of an SAE classic title are to provide readers with the basic theoretical fundamentals and analytical tools necessary to design braking systems for passenger vehicles and trucks that comply with safety standards, minimize consumer complaints, and perform safely and efﬁ ciently before and while electronic brake controls become active.

Written for students, engineers, forensic experts, and brake technicians, this book offers numerous illustrations and equations that make the information easy to understand and apply.

New to this edition are expanded chapters on: • Thermal analysis of automotive brakes • Analysis of hydraulic brake systems • Single vehicle braking dynamics Order today!

Raise Your Analytical Level of Accident Reconstruction With This New Book By Raymond M. Brach and R. Matthew Brach New Edition! Thoroughly updated, this new edition builds on the original exploration of accident analysis, reconstruction, and vehicle design. Designed for the experienced practitioner, it aims to help reconstruction specialists with problems they may encounter in everyday analysis. The authors demonstrate how to take the physics behind accidents out of the idealized world and into practical situations. Real- world examples are used to illustrate the methods, clarify important concepts, and provide practical applications to those working in the ﬁ eld.
