Research, a Short Introduction:
The Numerical Mechanics Research Group has been working for many decades in the field of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics concentrating primarily on highly non-linear problems of solid continua and engineering structures. Sources of non-linear behaviour under investigation have been, for example, the contact between bodies, plastic material law, large displacements, strain and finite rotations etc. In recent years very successful numerical algorithms and programs have been worked out on the basis of the so-called hp version finite element technique. By using the new procedures to be concerned special coupled problems have been analysed such as contact between bodies accompanied by heat distribution, wear problems and so on. From the point of the practical applications a great number of problems has been dealt with including composites, steal structures of the tool and vehicle industry, tyres and other fibre reinforced rubber constituents etc. Results of multi faceted research have been published in numerous papers in the leading scientific journals and conference proceedings of the world.
