We offer projects mainly in computational science and engineering. Your background could be applied mathematics, computer science, computational physics, control, mechanical engineering, robotics - but this is not exclusive. Please contact us with your interest and CV. Feel free also to propose thesis project by yourself.
Announced projects
Merge/split in rigid multibody simulation
Adaptive simplification of rigid multibody systems by merging bodies into agglomerate superbodies can accelerate large-scale simulation by many orders in magnitude. The actions must preserves physical invariants, minimizes computational time, produce consistent pressure force distributions and allow for impulse propagation. Application to vehicle or robot simulations with large piles of contacting bodies.
Comparative study between different rigid body simulation software
Study quantitative results in dynamics, computational performance, memory managment and parallelization opportunities between different rigid body simulation software. Both theory and numerical experiments with a set of test scenes relevant for using the software for virtual prototyping of complex mechanical systems. The softwares are (tentative list) AgX Multiphysics, Bullet Physics, EDEM.
