Abstract
In this chapter several methods from classical mechanics to state equations of motion of mechanical systems are briefly explored (Sects. 4.1–4.4). Principally, all these methods are also suited for the modeling of the vehicles regarded in this book, which can be considered as complex multibody systems. Concerning the practical application of a method, this decision is mainly dependent on the associated modeling and calculation effort, according to the complexity of the system. Consequently, the equations of motion for this kind of large scale systems with many bodies and many kinematic loops (and therefore many constraints) will be developed numerically or symbolically with the help of the computer. The computational cost is dependent on the number of describing coordinates, including its geometrical significance; further being defined by the formulation of the constraint equations, i.e. through the modeling of the kinematics of the system, which is reflected directly by the number of required mathematical operations
