   Objectives

The objectives of IJVSMT are to highlight the theoretical background of research and development problems relating to numerical analysis, modelling and testing of vehicles and vehicle components.

   Readership
IJVSMT provides a resource of information for the scientific and engineering community, both for those in industry and in academia who are developing and testing ground vehicles.

   Contents
IJVSMT publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, and news.

   Subject Coverage

• Computer aided modelling and simulation
• Structural analysis
• Kinematics and kinetics of vehicle systems, vehicles and their components; emphasis on rigid multi-body dynamics programs
• Coupled field problems, such as introducing flexible bodies in rigid body dynamics calculations
• Behaviour of alternative/concept vehicles
• Applied vehicle dynamics
• Applied control techniques
• Modelling of active safety systems
• Lean testing (i.e., how to minimise testing, yet maximise its impact)
• Testing techniques
• Test rigs
• Vehicle-road interaction
• Mathematical modelling and testing of ICE, hybrids and fuel-cells
• Conventional and alternative fuels
• Electronic engine controls

   Specific Notes for Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written).

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Submission of Papers web-page.

To submit a paper, please go to Submissions of Papers

AUTHORS MUST SUBMIT THEIR PAPERS THROUGH THE ON LINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM, OTHERWISE THEIR PAPERS WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION

All papers must be submitted online. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com, describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
