Structural analysis
Welcome
The Institute of Structural Analysis has been headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Wackerfuß since July 1, 2014.
The research profile of the department is characterized by the development of numerical methods for modelling and simulating material and load-bearing structure behaviour. In the field of teaching, the focus is on classical and modern (computer-oriented) methods of structural analysis.
The MISMO research team, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of the Emmy Noether Program, is affiliated to the Institute of Structural Analysis. The team deals with research of mechanical instabilitiesin self-similar molecularstructures of higher order (abbreviation: MISMO).
What is computational mechanics (modern structural analysis) dealing with?
The following video from the German Association for Computational Mechanics (GACM) shows the diverse and fascinating topics in computational mechanics.
