Applied Mechanics

The Division of Applied Mechanics is part of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Applied mechanics is a broad field involving structures, solids and fluids. Our work mainly focuses on material and structural mechanics.

Welcome to Applied Mechanics

Seeing is believing, but measuring and computing are far more convincing! Modern experimental techniques, in combination with image analyses and high-precision computational methods, are our powerful tools for understanding the fundamental mechanical behavior of complex structures and materials over length and time scales.

Our research is multidisciplinary and spans from applied projects in close cooperation with industry to fundamental academic research. We develop computational models and use high-precision clusters for multiscale and multiphysics simulations. We develop experimental devices and capture three-dimensional deformation fields even at submicron scale. We fabricate and recycle composite materials with highest design freedom by additive manufacturing.
