Optimization of Dynamic Systems

Term: Winter Term

Lecturers

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Seifried

Dr.-Ing. Alexander Held

Dr.-Ing. Svenja Drücker

Content of the Course

Optimization methods are widely used throughout the virtual development process of dynamic systems like robots, vehicles, planes or in the field of biomechanics. Applications extend from design of controllers, over parameter identification, to shape and topology optimization of components under dynamic loads.

All necessary execution steps in optimizations are taught using the examples of mechanical systems throughout the lecture. Important topics are: the formulation of the optimization problems, methods of sensitivity analysis, adjoint variable method, deterministic and stochastic optimization algorithms, consideration of constraints, as well as strategies of multi-objective optimization.
