Abstract
Let us assume somebody in a truck manufacturing company has the idea to improve the driver’s comfort by damping the oscillations of the driver’s cabin. For this end he plans to introduce a new type of dampers governed by a sophisticated control law and a complicated mechanical coupling device. The best argument for convincing the decision makers in his company would be a demonstration of his idea. The classical “demonstration” of such an idea would require the construction of the new device and a lot of field tests. And this costs money and takes time and might be too expensive just for checking an idea.
