Characteristics of the main subjects of scientific research:
Research works conducted at the Chair of Structural Mechanics and Materials concern with:
- optimization of engineering structures, taking into account geometric nonlinearity with a sensitivity analysis,
- optimal shaping (control) in systems with distributed or clustered parameters along with a sensitivity analysis,
- nanomechanics with multi-scale modelling of carbon nanostructures in the FEM formalism,
- mechanics of cellular materials,
- dynamics of engineering structures with the analysis of the mechanical properties of modern engineering structures reinforced with nanomaterials, • environmental protection against transport and construction vibrations, including protection of historic buildings,
- research on the impact of mining tremors on buildings and people staying in them, as well as dynamic interaction due to mining tremors, the effect of quakes parameters on this phenomenon,
- models of interaction and interaction of the building with the ground,
- numerical modelling in civil engineering,
- vibro-isolation and searching for optimal geometry and material solutions for vibro-isolating partitions,
- mechanics of anisotropic materials, propagation of elastic waves, composite materials and DIC (Digital Image Correlation) analysis,
- dynamics of engineering structures with the analysis of the mechanical properties of modern engineering structures reinforced with nanomaterials,
- research on flexible joints and their applications in structures,
- determining the dynamic response of multi-support objects to a non-uniform input,
- research of vibrations impact, including communication, on people in buildings, including the development of criteria for individual events in the VDV method or clarification of the applicability of the WODL • works on the technical condition of selected buildings water.
