The Division of Mechanics
Welcome!
Mechanics is one of the fundamentals of engineering science and is the basis on which a number of applied subjects is founded. It deals with motion and equilibrium of bodies and stretches from the studies of general principles established by Newton, Euler and Cauchy to newly developed subfields such as computational mechanics and dynamical systems.
The interests of the Division of Mechanics include theoretical and computational aspects of continuum mechanics, structural mechanics, multibody dynamics and thermodynamics. In particular, research is performed in the subfields of biomechanics and structural optimization.
The division is responsible for a large number of courses, both undergraduate as well as on graduate level.

av Carl-Johan Thore Akademisk avhandling: som för avläggande av teknologie doktorsexamen vid Linköpings universitet kommer att offentligt försvaras i C3, C-huset, Campus Valla, Linköpings universitet, Linköping den 1 juni 2012 kl.10:15. Fakultetsopponent: Senior Scientist Mathias Stolpe, DTU Vindenergi, Institutet för Vindenergi Danmarks Tekniske Universitet Stefan Lindström was awarded a travel grant from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for continued collaboration with the Laboratory for Physical Chemistry and Colloid Science of Wageningen University, the Netherlands (http://www.pcc.wur.nl/UK) . This collaboration is primarily oriented toward investigating differences in adhesive strength in random and ordered surface micropatterns in adhesive joints. |
