Phd On Learning and Analysis of Coupled Dynamical
3 maanden geleden
**Job description**:
- Simulation-based design_ is a powerful tool assisting the development and maintenance of many engineering systems, for example in the high-tech, robotics or automotive domains. However, their increasing complexity in materials, components and physical requirements push classical model-based simulation techniques to their limits. Such systems are often modelled by _coupling separate subsystems of dynamical equations_ with highly heterogeneous properties. The reasons for such a modular approach are to support component-based design, different type of model hierarchies, or to allow for a multiphysical characterization of their dynamics. The repeated simulation, e.g., for optimization of such complex interconnected systems leads to prohibitively large simulation times, which makes an automated design process unfeasible.
One way to overcome this is by creating cheaper surrogate models, that are faster to evaluate. However, this come at the cost of accuracy. Recently, great advancements have been made in the field of data-based surrogate modelling, which uses machine learning methodologies to construct these reduced models. The aim of this project is to develop a framework to construct and analyse such (data-based) surrogate models of coupled dynamical systems with kinematic constraints.
Within this project you will work on developing a framework that enables the fast simulation of engineering systems that are (partially) modelled with a multibody systems approach. For that, you will use a data-based surrogate modelling approach and study appropriate simulation techniques for the resulting coupled, heterogeneous dynamical systems with constraints described with differential-algebraic equations. The main challenges and workpackages are:
- The appropriate handling of the constraints at subsystem level when generating the data-based surrogate models.
- The development of an analysis framework for the propagation of subsystem errors in the coupled system model, and of new methods to mitigate those errors.
- The development of methodologies to simulate the resulting heterogeneous system appropriately ensuring stability and reducing computation time.
**Embedding**
You will execute this project in the Autonomous and Complex Systems group of the Dynamics and Control (D&C) section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The mission of the Dynamics and Control Section, which consists of 22 faculty members and 45 researchers, is to perform research and train next-generation students on the topic of understanding and predicting the dynamics of complex engineering systems in order to develop advanced control, estimation, planning, and learning strategies which are at the core of the intelligent autonomous systems of the future: Designing and realizing smart autonomous systems for industry and society.
**Job requirements**:
- You have experience with or a strong background in mechanical engineering, (applied) mathematics, physics and computational engineering, especially in the context of modelling and simulation. Preferably, you finished a Master’s program in the areas of (Applied) Mathematics, (Applied) Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Systems and Control, Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
- You enjoy programming.
- You have a research-oriented attitude.
- You have good communication skills.
- You are motivated to develop your teaching skills and coach students.
- You are fluent in written and spoken English (knowledge of Dutch is not required).
**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
