Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Kraftfahrzeug-Hybridantriebe: Grundlagen,
Book SynopsisGesetze und Energiekosten zwingen die Automobilindustrie sich intensiv mit Hybridantrieben zu beschäftigen. Für die Autoindustrie, für die Zulieferer, für die Forschung und für die Lehre ist dies ein relativ neues Thema. Die Autoindustrie muss in den nächsten Jahren Autos mit Hybridantrieb in den verschiedenen Fahrzeugtypen für alle wesentlichen Märkte anbieten. Das Buch behandelt die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Kombination von herkömmlichen Verbrennungsmotoren mit elektrischen Maschinen (Elektromotor/Generator) und dem zusätzlichen Energiespeicher (Batterie). Es beschreibt das Potenzial an Kraftstoffeinsparung durch den Hybridantrieb. Die Hybridkomponenten werden mit ihren Eigenschaften beschrieben und bewertet sowie die technischen Herausforderungen eines solchen komplexen Antriebssystems aufgezeigt. Eine Auswahl von Prototypen und Serienfahrzeugen werden detailliert beschrieben.Trade ReviewPressestimmen:"[...] fachlich fundierte Darstellung, gute Verständlichkeit und anwendungsnahe Praxisrelevanz [...]." MTZ - Motortechnische Zeitschrift, 9-2013Table of ContentsEinleitung - Hybride Antriebsstrukturen - Komponenten des Hybridantriebs - Betriebsstrategien -Simulation und Auslegung.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Aerodynamik der stumpfen Körper: Physikalische
Book SynopsisDie aerodynamische Gestaltung von Fahrzeugen wie Automobile und Eisenbahnen, von Bauwerken wie weit gespannte Brücken, Türme oder Hochhäuser, ist eine äußerst vielschichtige Aufgabe. Ihre Auslegung basiert auf ingenieurmäßigen Verfahren, aber ihre Optimierung vorwiegend auf dem Prinzip von Trial & Error. Dabei erweist es sich als nützlich, das anstehende Problem auf möglichst einfache Modellfälle zurückzuführen. Das vorliegende Buch stellt die dazu erforderlichen Grundlagen bereit und beschreibt, wie sie anzuwenden sind. Gegenüber der ersten Auflage wurde das Buch vollkommen überarbeitet und erweitert: um die neuen Windlastnormen, die Seitenwindstabilität von schnellen Zügen, sowie die Wechselwirkung von Aerodynamik und Statik biegeweicher Konstruktionen. Das Kapitel über die numerischen Verfahren (CFD) wurde auf den allerneuesten Stand gebracht. Trade Review"Wenn hier die Besprechung eines bereits 2002 erschienenen Buches erfolgt, so hat das zwei Gründe. Zum einen ist dies ein Grundlagenbuch, das ebenso einmalig ist wie zeitbeständig. Denn an den Grundlagen ändert sich nichts. Zum anderen muss man den Designern das Buch immer wieder ans Herz legen, weil sie zu schnell den wichtigen Einfluss der Aerodynamik aufs Auto vergessen. Steht das Vehikel erst im Schaufenster, ist der Ärger groß, wenn die Konkurrenz schneller ist und weniger verbraucht. [...] Der Autor Wolf-Heinrich Hucho ist der herausragende Aerodynamiker unserer Zeit".

Springer Flight Physics: Essentials of Aeronautical
Book SynopsisKnowledge is not merely everything we have come to know, but also ideas we have pondered long enough to know in which way they are related, and 1 how these ideas can be put to practical use. Modern aviation has been made possible as a result of much scienti c - search. However, the very rst useful results of this research became ava- able a considerable length of time after the aviation pioneers had made their rst ights. Apparently, researchers were not able to nd an adequate exp- nation for the occurrence of lift until the beginning of the 21st century. Also, for the fundamentals of stability and control, there was no theory available that the pioneers could rely on. Only after the rst motorized ights had been successfully made did researchers become more interested in the science of aviation, which from then on began to take shape. In modern day life, many millions of passengers are transported every year by air. People in the western societies take to the skies, on average, several times a year. Especially in areas surrounding busy airports, travel by plane has been on the rise since the end of the Second World War. Despite becoming familiar with the sight of a jumbo jet commencing its ight once or twice a day, many nd it astonishing that such a colossus with a mass of several hundred thousands of kilograms can actually lift off from the ground.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: “This book was translated from the Dutch textbook Aeronautiek (2002) and then edited by the translators, one of whom is the senior author of the current work. It is an expansion of lecture material used by both Torenbeek and Wittenberg to instruct freshmen aerospace engineers at the Technical University of Delft from 1970 to 2000. … The work is useful to aeronautical engineering students as a good reference and as an adjunct to their course textbooks.
