The mechanics of solids and structures provides theoretical foundations and numerical concepts that are essential
to the practice of mechanical, civil, structural, and aeronautical
engineering, material science and engineering,
nanotechnology, biology, geophysics, and other branches of engineering
and applied science. The endless increase in computational power significantly spreads the focus of the mechanics of solids to multidisciplinary areas and problems, at different length and time scales. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Mechanics of solids and structures group at Department of Civil, Environmental, Architectural Engineering and Mathematics (DICATAM) offers a set of courses in statics, dynamics, advanced elasticity, and computational inelasticity, within the familiar structure of the
continuum mechanics.The program has a strong focus on the mechanics of the green economy, health and wealth. Some of the current research in the Solid Mechanics group includes:
