Fields of interest
Our areas of interest cover a wide spectrum. Employees of the department participate in the solution of a number of grant projects (GAR, TACR, European Union grants, NSF (USA)), research plans (GACR), work in expert committees and scientific bodies, prepare expert opinions and provide consultations. The results of the work are regularly presented at domestic and foreign conferences and are applied in a number of practical applications. The main fields of activity:
- Application and development of numerical methods in structural mechanics
- Application and development of material models
- Biomechanics and biomaterials engineering
- Experimental activity in cooperation with industrial partners
- Laboratory research of quasi-brittle materials using unique experimental devices
- Materials research, nanomaterials, micro and nanomechanics
- Soil mechanics
- Development of a general mesh generator for the finite element method
