Numerical Methods in Multibody Dynamics

Today computers play an important role in the development of complex mechanical systems, such as cars, railway vehicles or machines. Efficient simulation of these systems is only possible when based on methods that explore the strong link between numerics

Numerical Methods in Multibody Dynamics

European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry Edited by Leif Arkeryd, Goteborg Heinz Engl, Linz Antonio Fasano, Firenze Robert M. M. Mattheij, Eindhoven Pekka Neittaanmaki, Jyvaskyla Helmut Neunzert, Kaiserslautern

Within Europe a number of academic groups have accepted their responsibility towards European industry and have proposed to found a European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) as an expression of this responsibility. One of the activities of ECMI is the publication of books, which reflect its general philosophy; the texts of the series will help in promoting the use of mathematics in industry and in educating mathematicians for industry. They will consider different fields of applications, present casestudies, i'ntroduce new mathematical concepts in their (elation to practical applications. They shall also represent the variety of the European mathematical traditions, for example practical asymptotics and differential equations in Britian, sophisticated numerical analysis from France, powerful computation in Germany, novel discrete mathematics in Holland, elegant real analysis from Italy. They will demonstrate that all these branches of mathematics are applicable to real problems, and industry and universities in any country can clearly benefit from the skills of the complete range of European applied mathematics.
