Abstract
In this paper the optimization of the transient dynamical behaviour of multibody systems with impacts and unilateral constraints is treated. As a basis the projection method for the simulation of multibody systems is used. The optimization of the dynamical behaviour of multibody systems is reduced to a nonlinear programming problem, we also use extended semi-analytical methods of sensitivity analysis presented in [7]. These methods serve as a link between simulation and general purpose optimization codes. The theory is applied to the optimization of the geometry of a circuit breaker.
