Published on the 120th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth, this book illuminates the myriad contradictions of Sun Yat-sen's life. Beginning with the London kidnapping incident of 1896, it traces the discrepancies between Sun Yat-sen's activities and his alleged fabrication of events, bringing to light the attempts of this legendary--and controversial--figure to project a heroic image of himself.

Terramechanics and Off-Road Vehicle Engineering: Terrain Behaviour and Off-Road Mobility

Engineering & Transportation

Engineering

Butterworth-Heinemann

The computer-aided methods presented in this book represent recent advances in the methodology for predicting and evaluating off-road vehicle performance. The mathematical models established for vehicle-terrain systems will enable the engineering practitioner to evaluate, on a rational basis, a wide range of options and to select an appropriate vehicle configuration for a given mission and environment. The models take into account all major design and operational parameters, as well as pertinent terrain characteristics. Applications of the computer-aided engineering methods to the parametric analysis of off-road vehicle design are demonstrated through examples.

Technology/Engineering/Automotive Engineering for advancing ground vehicle mobility A standard text and reference for both the educational and professional communities, Theory of Ground Vehicles gives aspiring and practicing engineers a fundamental understanding of the critical factors affecting the performance, handling, and ride essential to the development and design of ground vehicles. In view of the growing concerns over environmental impact, energy efficiency, and safety, this new Fourth Edition has been revised and expanded to address these issues and other developments in the field. Retaining the contents and format of previous editions, the Fourth Edition introduces new material to reflect recent advances in ground transportation technology, including: * Computer-aided methods for design and performance evaluation of off-road vehicles and their practical applications * Emissions and fuel economy * Hybrid electric drives and fuel cells and their operating principles * Selection of vehicle configurations for off-road operations * Road vehicle stability control * ISO 2631-1:1997 and its applications to evaluating vehicle ride characteristics As in previous editions, this book focuses on applying engineering principles to the analysis of vehicle behavior. A large number of practical examples and problems are included throughout to help readers bridge the gap between theory and practice. With its broad coverage and pedagogical aids, Theory of Ground Vehicles, Fourth Edition remains the text of choice for students, engineers, and researchers wishing to master and apply basic theory to solve real-world, road and off-road vehicle mobility problems.

Theory of Ground Vehicles

wiley

Deals with the theory and engineering principles of nonguided ground vehicles—including road, off-road, and air cushion vehicles. Provides students, engineers, and researchers with a comprehensive introduction to the analysis and evaluation of performance characteristics, handling behavior, and ride qualities. Emphasizes the fundamental principles underlying rational development and design of vehicle systems, and a unified method for analyzing the characteristics of different types of ground vehicles.

An updated edition of the classic reference on the dynamics of road and off-road vehicles As we enter a new millennium, the vehicle industry faces greater challenges than ever before as it strives to meet the increasing demand for safer, environmentally friendlier, more energy efficient, and lower emissions products. Theory of Ground Vehicles, Third Edition gives aspiring and practicing engineers a fundamental understanding of the critical factors affecting the performance, handling, and ride essential to the development and design of ground vehicles that meet these requirements. As in previous editions, this book focuses on applying engineering principles to the analysis of vehicle behavior. A large number of practical examples and problems are included throughout to help readers bridge the gap between theory and practice. Covering a wide range of topics concerning the dynamics of road and off-road vehicles, this Third Edition is filled with up-to-date information, including: * The Magic Formula for characterizing pneumatic tire behavior from test data for vehicle handling simulations * Computer-aided methods for performance and design evaluation of off-road vehicles, based on the author's own research * Updated data on road vehicle transmissions and operating fuel economy * Fundamentals of road vehicle stability control * Optimization of the performance of four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles and experimental substantiation, based on the author's own investigations * A new theory on skid-steering of tracked vehicles, developed by the author.

Theory of Ground Vehicles, 3rd Edition

Wiley-Interscience

A comprehensive introduction to the analysis and evaluation of vehicle performance characteristics, handling behavior and ride qualities. New to this edition: aerodynamics performance enhancement methods, variable rate transmissions, antilock breaking and traction control systems, computer-aided and numerical assessment techniques of vehicle performance.

Theory of Ground Vehicles, 2nd Edition

The western reader is here presented with a biography of a major figure on the Chinese side in the crucial period of China's political contact with the western world, which describes a man of his own time and country, with his own background of education, endeavour and achievement and not merely a figure symbolic of Chinese obstruction of British purposes as he was seen from London or Hong Kong. This important work will be studied with interest by historians of both China and England and of Anglo-Chinese relations.
