Scientific work
An overview of currently offered topics for student projects and theses is provided here. Topics will be defined on an individual basis with the primary supervisor. You may also suggest a topic within our scope of teaching and research. Also browse the staff pages to learn more about their individual research interests and projects.
Each thesis consists of a written report (80%) and a presentation within a colloquium (20%).

Who do I contact if I have any questions?
Theses in the Bachelor's programme:
Take a look at the topics offered. Some topics are already concretely formulated, others are general and can be concretised in consultation with the supervisor. If you are interested in a topic, please contact the supervisor (see PDF file). If no PDF file is linked or no supervisor is noted, please contact us via this mail address. We will also advise you on general questions regarding work in the Bachelor's programme.
Theses in the Master's programme:
Take a look at the topics offered. If you are interested in a topic, feel free to contact the supervisor directly (see PDF file).

Error message when opening PDF?
For a lot of topics you will find a linked PDF file on this page. If you are not able to open the file, please contact webredaktion@ibnm.uni-hannover.de and mention the title where the error occurred. We will look into it as soon as possible and let you know once the error has been corrected.
Study Paper (PO19) = Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten im Ingenieurwesen
©
IBNM 2018
5CP (Workload 150h)
As part of the module Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten im Ingenieurwesen, the study paper is the first scientific work during the Bachelor's programme. The aim is to learn scientific standards by means of an experimental, analytical or numerical project.
At the IBNM, the following topics are currently offered for which knowledge of engineering mechanics or computational mechanics is a prerequisite:
Prerequisite Engineering Mechanics A and B
- Experimental studies (optional video documentation):
- on failure hypotheses
- on oscillation behaviour
- on beams subjected to bending loads
- on stress distribution by using photoelasticity
- Analytical studies (optional Matlab implementation):
- on the Timoshenko beam theory
- on inclined bending
- on oscillators with several degrees of freedom (MDOF oscillators)
- on composite beams
- on continuous oscillations
Prerequisite Computaional Mechanics
- General topics:
- 3D FE stress analysis
- Vibration analysis
- Investigation of random variables
Students who did not attend the course Computational Mechanics may study these fundamentals themselves (e.g. with the help of our ILIAS module).
Bachelor Thesis
12CP (Workload 360h) // Duration 6 months
The bachelor thesis is the final thesis of the Bachelor programme. At IBNM the topic usually has a major numerical aspect. While it is not required that the student has passed Computational Mechanics, fundamental knowledge of numerical methods such as FEM is expected. Otherwise the knowledge must be independently gained outside the thesis through personal study.
The following topics are currently offered at IBNM:
- Visualising results within the IBNM's Matlab FE code
- Numerical stress state analysis in AR and VR
Master Thesis
©
IBNM 2020
24CP (PO19), 25CP (PO15) (Workload 720h / 750h) // Duration 6 months
The master thesis is the final thesis of the Master programme. The student is to work on a research project within the current state of the art.
