The System Dynamics Department develops solutions for optimizing precision, comfort, and safety in structures and systems. To this end, we combine model-based design methods, experimental analyses, data-based algorithms, and numerical simulations. The focus is on mechanical vibrations and acoustic radiation—we investigate and optimize systems specifically with regard to their dynamic and acoustic behavior. In addition to novel lightweight construction principles, we use innovative approaches such as metamaterials and programmable materials. Smart system solutions enable automatic adaptation of system dynamics to changing conditions, supported by integrated sensor and actuator systems as well as AI-supported control approaches. The solutions we develop thus ensure precise and trouble-free operation of machines and systems with high efficiency.
