Preface

The main focus of this book is on the fundamentals of ‘‘Vehicle Dynamics’’ and the mathematical modeling and simulation of motor vehicles. The range of applications encompasses basic single track models as well as complex, spatial multibody systems. The reader will be enabled to develop own simulation models, supported to apply successfully commercial programs, to choose appropriate models and to understand and assess simulation results. The book describes in particular the modeling process from the real vehicle to the mathematical model as well as the validation of simulation results by means of selected applications. The book is aimed at students and postgraduates in the field of engineering sciences who attend lectures or work o
