Welcome to the Institute of Engineering Mechanics!
As part of the Faculty of Mathematics/Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering, the Institute has set itself the goal of developing and applying modern methods of mechanics in a balanced relationship between basic and applied research with a corresponding impact on teaching and further education. These include numerical simulation methods, which have been increasingly used in recent years, as well as modern experimental techniques. The strategic orientation of research activities is based on the interdisciplinary nature of the mechanics of deformable bodies and fluid mechanics. Research topics are therefore partly formulated in close and interdisciplinary cooperation with other institutions from the classical engineering fields and from the natural sciences. Mechanics sees itself as a link between mathematics, physics and the engineering sciences. The latter applies in particular to training and teaching. Traditionally, mechanics provides the bridge between the sometimes quite abstract teaching content of mathematics and physics on the one hand and the engineering disciplines on the other.
