Research Group
Lifecycle:9 May 2014 → Today
Organisation profile:The Flanders MakeDMMS core lab consistsof two research teams of the KU LeuvenDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, being the Noise and Vibration Research Group and the MECO research group. Together, thesegroups have a longstanding history and are internationally highly recognizedexperts in the fields of:
· Numericalmodelling;
· Engineeringdynamics;
· Mechatronicanalysis and design;
· Vibro-acousticanalysis and lightweight structure design and analysis;
· Sensing,identification, control, optimization and monitoring of mechanical andmechatronic systems
withapplications in,amongst others, the automotive and machine buildingindustry. Expertise in these domains is valorised in various regional, national andinternational projects and programmes.
DMMSis involved in Flanders Make in two core labs: DMMS-M and DMMS-D. Core lab DMMS-D (D for Design) covers key aspects for the clusterDesign & Optimisation involving:
· Designand development of physically inspired models;
· Modelorder reduction schemes;
· Real-timeanalysis,
· co-design, co-simulation and optimization.
