Mathematics-based modelling and model reduction for automotive systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

To design an engineering system, the modern practice is to create computer models that can be used to explore different design concepts and evaluate their performance. Unfortunately, most current models are numerical in nature, hiding the physics of the design behind reams of numerical data. A more natural way to model a system is to use mathematics, and the main goal of this research is to develop the theory and computer algorithms necessary to automatically create engineering models in a mathematical form that can be easily viewed and shared between colleagues. This will speed up the "model-based design" of new products, an approach that is being embraced by the automotive industry as it strives to become more efficient and responsive to consumer demands.
