Structural Engineers are at the helm of the urban environment. Engineers design novel infrastructure systems to be adaptive, resilient, and sustainable. The structural engineering and design ...

The Mechanics of Multi-scale Materials research group uncovers the relationships of structures across the full range of engineering scales, from the molecular to the macro. In addition to established ...

The department focuses on developing new methods for efficiently analysing and evaluating lightweight structures in aerospace, transport technology and wind energy. It is very important to consider ...

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) represents a unification of computer-aided design and numerical simulation, employing spline-based representations such as non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) both for ...

Fracture mechanics examines how cracks initiate and propagate in materials that range from ceramics and glasses to metals and engineered composites. In brittle materials, crack advance is governed ...
