Teaching

Bachelor's programme

  • Applied Finite Element Method in Thermodynamics
  • Applied Finite Element Method in Structural Mechanics

Master's programme

  • Theory of the Finite Element Method
  • Nonlinear Structural Mechanics

  • Thermal building simulation

Research

Methodology

  • Development and utilisation of simulation models for structural-mechanical and fluid-dynamic processes (digital twins)
  • Simulations of material-internal processes in solids using the finite element method (FEM) | deformation, fracture, failure
  • Simulations of flowing fluids using the finite volume method (FVM) | gas flow in processes, ambient air flow

Selection of application areas

  • Simulation of manufacturing processes: Wire sawing, grinding, additive manufacturing, etc.
  • Evaluation of fracture and failure of brittle materials (semiconductors, glass, etc.)
  • Simulation of indoor air flows/CO2 concentration in building services engineering
  • Biomechanics: Development of service life models for implant-bone composites

Research projects | Simulation of energy and technical systems

Laboratory

  • bikelab | Simulation and analysis of bicycle frames and components
