Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the resistances to the translation of motor vehicles, an investigation initiated in 1919 by the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station. The author, an authority in the field, explores the various factors that impact the movement of vehicles, including rolling resistance, air resistance, internal resistance, and resistance due to curvature. Drawing on extensive research and experimentation, the book sheds light on the magnitude of these resistances and their implications for highway design, vehicle performance, and fuel consumption. It examines the shortcomings of previous methods used to measure tractive resistance and introduces more accurate techniques, such as the space-time recorder. The findings presented in this book contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of vehicle movement and provide valuable insights for engineers, transportation planners, and policymakers seeking to optimize road infrastructure and vehicle efficiency. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
