Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Daniel Balzani
The chair of continuum mechanics is active in developing methods for the continuum mechanical modeling and simulation of complex materials. Focus is on the development of scale-coupling numerical methods as well as new material models which enable the simulation of materials such as multiphase steels, textile membranes, soft biological tissues, fiber-concrete composites, or hardmetal composites by incorporating uncertainties at different scales. Increasingly, the experimental characterization of nonlinear material properties as well as the unique identification of material parameters become more important.

The LKM was represented at this year's GACM with four presentations. Hendrik Dorn presented the latest results on the influence of microstructure variability on macroscopic quantities. Sergey Kozinov presented the interaction between configuration forces and defects in flexoelectric materials. Thuc Pham Phu spoke about the influence of strain gradients on local polarization in piezoelectric materials. Dennis Ogiermann presented a method for validating mechanical heart simulations.
