Summer School

Advanced topics on Continuum Mechanics, Numerical Methods and Engineering Materials given by the internationally known researchers.

Description

The COMMAS Summer School contains advanced state of the art topics on continuum mechanics, numerical methods, and engineering materials to be seen as enhancement of the courses from the first and second semester. These topics are given in the summer school by internationally recognized experts.

 

Goal

The students possess a good understanding of current developments in computational mechanics, both in research and industrial application, through the direct interaction with internationally recognized researchers in this field. Through the exposure to the high-level course material, the students are able to make active use of the relevant literature in computational mechanics, which benefits them in their Master's Thesis works as well as their later professional life.

Please note that the affiliations of the speakers correspond to the invited year which might have changed now.
 

COMMAS Summer Schools from 2021/25

This year the COMMAS Summer School will take place in a different format due to the COVID-19. The student will work on a project in a team and present their results to their collegues and the lecturers.

Tobias Willman, M.Sc.
University of Stuttgart, Germany
"Intorduction into the LS-DYNA software environment"

  • Thur. 07.10.2021, 11:00 - 12:30 via Webex Meeting
 

Project Title: Design of a Jumping and Revolving Single-Body System in Commercial Codes

In this problem, elastodynamics of single-body systems with frictional effects are under consideration. In particular, the goal is to design a jumper that is capable of leaping and landing. In order to incorporate the latter, the frictional effects are required to be taken into account. LS-DYNA as a commercial code will be used for the given problem.

 

Presentation of the Projects by the Students:

  • Fri.    15.10.2021,  10:00 - 12:00 via Webex Meeting
