Welcome to the pages of the Institute of Mechanics and Computational Mechanics (IBNM). The IBNM team is engaged in academic training within the Bachelor and Master programmes in civil engineering studies, and in doctoral education.
Our research activities focus on the physical and mathematical modelling, and the development of related robust and efficient computational algorithms for processes in continuum mechanics.
Relevance of mechanics for sustainability
We develop numerical simulation methods for the analysis and optimisation of processes in nature and technology. These methods are applied in various fields and thus contribute to the development of sustainable products and processes. Some examples are:
