As part of the international conference "16th World Congress on Computational Mechanics" in Vancouver (21.-26.07.2024), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Wakerfuß successfully presented the current research results of the Institute of Structural Analysis in the field of incorporating nonlinear constraints in the finite element method. During the conference there was a fruitful exchange with other scientists. We are looking forward to the next WCCM in Munich.
