Explains modeling of three-dimensional vehicle using the method of Multibody Systems
Offers complete models of complex vehicles
Employs examples of the methods described via real world problems
The authors examine in detail the fundamentals and mathematical descriptions of the dynamics of automobiles. In this context different levels of complexity will be presented, starting with basic single-track models up to complex three-dimensional multi-body models. A particular focus is on the process of establishing mathematical models on the basis of real cars and the validation of simulation results. The methods presented are explained in detail by means of selected application scenarios.
