Project goals
- development of strategies for the joint mechanical and control design of elastic multibody systems
- strategies enabling efficient analysis of large-scale systems for automated design
- design objectives for elastic systems including transient phenomena and effects not covered by formalized criteria, including generalized notions of controllability
- machine-learned surrogates, objectives and control strategies
- robust design regarding manufacturing uncertainties and operation conditions
Preliminary work
by ITM
- generic methods for multibody system modeling and optimization
- modeling, model-order reduction and simulation of elastic multibody systems
- control strategies, especially optimal control based on model predictive control
by TMF
- sensitivity analysis and multi-objective optimization of multibody systems
- design concepts for complex technical systems on industrial scale (turbo machinery and automotive)
- metamodeling and AI strategies for design
Potential contribution of modules to a holistic design assistant system
- module for control design and controller synthesis
- module for mechanical design of dynamical technical systems
- module to assess (generalized notions of) controllability of flexible multibody systems
- optimization-driven assistant for joint design of mechanics and control
- surrogate models for elastic multibody systems
- benchmark experiment for validating control strategies
