Thomas Singraber obtained his B.Sc. in Automotive Engineering at the FH Joanneum, University of Applied Sciences Graz, Austria. Currently he is working on finalizing his Master's Thesis at the same faculty with a company partner supplying components to top motorsport teams all over the world. During his time at the Formula Student team he focused his work on aerodynamics and chassis developement and achieved therefore practical knowledge on a wide spectrum of racing topics. On completion of his studies, he intends to pursue an interdisciplinary career in the automotive sector with a strong motorsport affiliation. Mr. Christian J. Steinmann, HM&S IT-ConsultingChristian Steinmann has an engineer degree in mathematics from the Technical University Graz, where he focused on software quality and software development process assessment and improvement. He is manager of HM&S IT-Consulting and provides services for SPiCE/ISO 15504 and CMMI for development as a SEI-certified instructor. He performed more than 100 process assessments in software development departments for different companies in the finance, insurance, research, automotive, and automation sector. Currently, his main occupation is a consulting project for process improvement for safety related embedded software development for an automobile manufacturer. On Fridays, he is teaching computer science introductory and programming courses at Joanneum University of Applied Sciences in Graz, Austria.Mr. Marton Szabo-Kass B.Sc., Joanneum University of Applied Sciences Marton Szabo-Kass obtained his B.Sc. degree in Automotive Engineering at Joanneum University of Applied Sciences in Graz, Austria, after which he is currently completing his M.Sc. studies at the same faculty.

Classical mechanics is governed by the Newtonian axioms, which lead to ordinary differential equations as the equations of motion. The mathematical description of continuum mechanics, on the other hand, is based on partial differential equations, describing the conservation laws and the constitutive relations. The underlying theories of ordinary and partially dif...
