Optimization along Families of Periodic and Quasiperiodic Orbits in Dynamical Systems with Delay
This paper generalizes a previously-conceived, continuation-based
optimization technique for scalar objective functions on constraint manifolds
to cases of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions of delay-differential
equations. A Lagrange formalism is used to construct adjoint conditions that
are linear and homogenous in the unknown Lagrange multipliers. As a
consequence, it is shown how critical points on the constraint manifold can be
found through several stages of continuation along a sequence of connected
one-dimensional manifolds of solutions to increasing subsets of the necessary
optimality conditions. Due to the presence of delayed and advanced arguments in
the original and adjoint differential equations, care must be taken to
determine the degree of smoothness of the Lagrange multipliers with respect to
time. Such considerations naturally lead to a formulation in terms of
multi-segment boundary-value problems (BVPs), including the possibility that
the number of segments may change, or that their order may permute, during
continuation. The methodology is illustrated using the software package coco on
periodic orbits of both linear and nonlinear delay-differential equations,
keeping in mind that closed-form solutions are not typically available even in
the linear case. Finally, we demonstrate optimization on a family of
quasiperiodic invariant tori in an example unfolding of a Hopf bifurcation with
delay and parametric forcing. The quasiperiodic case is a further original
contribution to the literature on optimization constrained by partial
differential BVPs.Comment: preprint, 17 pages, 9 figure

Robust design optimization with dynamic constraints using numerical continuation
This thesis develops a framework for performing robust design optimization of objective functions constrained by differential, algebraic, and integral constraints. A successive parameter continuation method combined with polynomial chaos expansions is used to locate stationary points. The use of such an expansion provides the benefit of being able to directly drive the mean and variance of a given response function (or an objective function that uses them) during continuation. A toolbox capable of constructing polynomial chaos expansions for system response functions evaluated on boundary value problems has been developed for this work. Its use is demonstrated and results are compared to analytically derived solutions of a linear, harmonically forced oscillator. The robust design optimization method is then applied a harmonically forced nonlinear oscillator
Proceedings of SIRM 2023 - The 15th European Conference on Rotordynamics
It was our great honor and pleasure to host the SIRM Conference after 2003 and 2011 for the third time in Darmstadt. Rotordynamics covers a huge variety of different applications and challenges which are all in the scope of this conference. The conference was opened with a keynote lecture given by Rainer Nordmann, one of the three founders of SIRM “Schwingungen in rotierenden Maschinen”. In total 53 papers passed our strict review process and were presented. This impressively shows that rotordynamics is relevant as ever. These contributions cover a very wide spectrum of session topics: fluid bearings and seals; air foil bearings; magnetic bearings; rotor blade interaction; rotor fluid interactions; unbalance and balancing; vibrations in turbomachines; vibration control; instability; electrical machines; monitoring, identification and diagnosis; advanced numerical tools and nonlinearities as well as general rotordynamics. The international character of the conference has been significantly enhanced by the Scientific Board since the 14th SIRM resulting on one hand in an expanded Scientific Committee which meanwhile consists of 31 members from 13 different European countries and on the other hand in the new name “European Conference on Rotordynamics”. This new international profile has also been
emphasized by participants of the 15th SIRM coming from 17 different countries out of three continents. We experienced a vital discussion and dialogue between industry and academia at the conference where roughly one third of the papers were presented by industry and two thirds by academia being an excellent basis to follow a bidirectional transfer what we call xchange at Technical University of Darmstadt. At this point we also want to give our special thanks to the eleven industry sponsors for their great support of the conference. On behalf of the Darmstadt Local Committee I welcome you to read the papers of the 15th SIRM giving you further insight into the topics and presentations
