EUROPEAN CONSORTIUM FOR MATHEMATICS IN INDUSTRY...

Numerical Analysis is an interdisciplinary topic which develops its strength only when viewed
in close connection with applications. Nowadays  mechanical engineers having computer
simulation as a daily engineering tool have to learn more and more techniques from that field.
Mathematicians  on the other hand  are increasingly confronted with the need for developing
special purpose methods and codes. This requires a broad interdisciplinary understanding and a
sense for model-method interactions. With this monograph we give an introduction to selected
topics of Numerical Anal ysis based on these facts. We dedicate our presentations to an
interesting discipline in computational engineering: multibody dynamics. Though the basic ideas
and methods apply to other engineering fields too  we emphasize on having one homo geneous
class of applications. Both authors worked through many years in teams developing multibody
codes. Interdisciplinary work also includes transferring ideas from one field to the other and
a big amount of teaching -and that was the idea of this book. This book is intended for
students of mathematics  engineering and computer sci ence  as well as for people already
concerned with the solution of related topics in university and industry. After a short
introduction to multibody systems and the mathematical formulation of the equations of motion 
different numerical methods used to solve simulation tasks are presented. The presentation is
supported by a simple model of a truck. This truck model will follow the reader from the title
page to the appendix in various versions  specially adapted to the topics.
