Resource List

[MercerFSAE C. Burch]

My idea for this topic is to create a list of resources that teams have found useful when designing and building their FSAE car. These can be anything from websites, books, or other information that you've found useful.

My list is as follows (so far):


Books I've read-

Adams, Chassis Engineering
Milliken, Race Car Vehicle Dynamics
Puhn, Brake Handbook

Websites I've visited-

http://www.sae-a.com.au/fsae/downloads/Tech_Guide_Article.pdf
http://www.me.mtu.edu/~sae/FSAE/FSAE_manual.html
http://www.technicalf1.com/
http://www.mengr.tamu.edu:70/mechanics-systems/mmcdermott/FSAE00-01/Suspension/FinalReports/FSAEFinalDesignPresentation.ppt
http://web.umr.edu/~formula/library/sae_paper/saepaper.pdf
http://www.mech.utah.edu/fsae/links.html

Well, there's a starter list, now let's build on it!

Hi Chris,
Thanks for putting Pat D'Rats Tech Guide at the top of your list. It was written particularly for newcomers to this great competition of ours.
Should board members wish to talk with me about any issues I raise, there is an email contact in there.
See y'all at Pontiac

Thanks for listing technicalf1.com. We haven't really updated it much recently, but the forum's still fairly active.

As for books, I'm awaiting my copy of Paul Haney's new book on race tyres. Check it out at www.insideracingtechnology.com (http://www.insideracingtechnology.com) . I'll have a review of sorts when I get my copy some time next week.
