2020

[** The CVT Symposium will be postponed to 9. – 11.3.2021.**] The 6th International Commercial Vehicle Technology Symposium addresses different aspects of commercial vehicle development and production. With regard to energy and resource efficiency, the topic of innovative drives with alternative fuels will be focused on. Another challenge is safety, reliability and life expectancy, which is becoming more and more relevant as part of automation. Not only is the improvement of the system components important for innovative commercial vehicles, but also new concepts for their operation must be found in order to increase productivity. Remote diagnostics or cloud solutions are also trends which must be pursued more intensively in the commercial vehicle sector. In order to improve the development and production process, it is important to use more and more powerful simulation tools and methods.

The Deep Learning Seminar is organized by employees from the field »Data Analysis and Machine Learning« in the department »High Performance Computing«.

[only available in German] Herkömmlich unterscheiden sich die Konzepte der Schwing- (Betriebs-) Festigkeit und Bruchmechanik bei zyklischer Beanspruchung darin, dass erstere Gesamtlebensdauern und Schwingfestigkeiten (Wöhlerkurven), letztere hingegen Restlebensdauern von Strukturen mit bereits längeren Rissen ermitteln. Will man das Bruchmechanik-Konzept auf den Bereich der Schwingfestigkeit ausdehnen, so müssen mehrere Probleme gelöst werden. Am Vormittag sind zwei Einführungsvorträge vorgesehen, die die wissenschaftlichen Grundprinzipien erläutern. Der Nachmittag beinhaltet einen Übungsteil, bei dem die Teilnehmer mitmilfe von Computersoftware selbst einfache Analysen durchführen sollen. An eine Einführung in das Programm schließen sich mehrere Übungseinheiten an.

In the last 30 years computer simulation has become an indispensable tool of automotive development.

Semi-infinite optimization, i.e., the solution of optimization problems with infinitely many constraints (SIP), has been intensively studied over the last decades. The progress of computer technology has enhanced SIP methodology significantly. On the one hand, solution methods for this problem class have been increasingly developed and refined. On the other hand, high-dimensional problems, as they often occur in practice, have become numerically tractable. As a result, the range of possible applications has evolved considerably and semi-infinite optimization has been increasingly applied to practical problems in recent years.
