Driveline / Suspension design theory books

[Guest Jeff Rimmer]

Good day,

 

I have asked a few people from this list individually, but now I am asking the whole HybridZ forum. I am currently participating in a design and build competition for the SAE (Society for Automotive Engineers) and as such our quest is to design a Mini Baja car.

 

I am just curious if in your searches or local libraries, you have found any literature on suspension and drive line design, or perhaps automotive design. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards

Jeff Rimmer

A guy named Alan Staniforth has done a few on home designed and built hill climb cars.

 

Fred Phun (sp) does a how to make your car handle thats alright but im kind of guessing that you already know most of whats in there.

 

Carol Smiths books are all good reading.

 

Sae does a lot of litrature but I have never read it. You might be able to get it through your university.

 

Happy hunting,
