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.

  • fatigue and damage of structures,
  • structural dynamics analysis,
  • contact mechanics as well as
  • structural reliability.

We are also part of an inter-university working group:
