Zusatztext 97021078 Informationen zum Autor Iqbal Husain is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Akron in Ohio. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University. Dr. Husain is the founder of the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Program at the University of Akron! which encompasses graduate and undergraduate courses! research on electric drives for electric and hybrid vehicles! and collegiate-level competitions on alternative vehicles. An IEEE Fellow! he is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award! the IEEE-IAS Outstanding Young Member award! the IEEE Third Millennium Medal! the College of Engineering Outstanding Researcher Award! and the Society of Automotive Engineers Vincent Bendix Automotive Electronics Engineering Award. Klappentext Starting with some historic background on electric and hybrid vehicles! the author describes the system components! the laws of physics governing vehicle motion! the mathematical relationships within and between the components! energy sources! and designing components to meet the complete vehicle specifications. Zusammenfassung Thoroughly updated to encompass the significant technological advances since the publication of the first edition, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals, Second Edition presents the design fundamentals, component sizing, and systems interactions of alternative vehicles. This new edition of a widely praised, bestselling textbook maintains the comprehensive, systems-level perspective of electric and hybrid vehicles while covering the hybrid architectures and components of the vehicle in much greater detail. The author emphasizes technical details, mathematical relationships, and design guidelines throughout the text.New to the Second EditionNew chapters on sizing and design guidelines for various hybrid architectures, control strategies for hybrid vehicles, powertrain component cooling systems, and in-vehicle communication methodsNew sections on modeling of energy storage components, tire-road force mechanics, compressed air-storage, DC/DC converters, emission control systems, electromechanical brakes, and vehicle fuel economyReorganization of power electronics, electric machines, and motor drives sections Enhanced sections on mechanical components that now include more technical descriptions and example problemsAn emphasis on the integration of mechanical and electrical components, taking into account the interdisciplinary nature of automotive engineeringAs an advisor to the University of Akron’s team in the Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility, Dr. Husain knows first-hand how to teach students both the fundamentals and cutting-edge technologies of the next generation of automotives. This text shows students how electrical and mechanical engineers must work together to complete an alternative vehicle system. It empowers them to carry on state-of-the-art research and development in automotive engineering in order to meet today’s needs of clean, efficient, and sustainable vehicles.
