Non-smooth problems in vehicle systems dynamics: Proceedings of the Euromech Colloquium

The book combines vehicle systems dynamics with the latest theoretical developments in dynamics of non-smooth systems and numerical analysis of differential-algebraic dynamical systems with discontinuities. These two fields are fundamental for the modelling and analysis of vehicle dynamical sytems. The resultsare also applicable to other non-smooth dynamical systems.
