Solid, fluid and materials mechanics
This curriculum of the programme aims to provide advanced third-level (doctoral) education for researchers and highly qualified experts in the fields of solid, fluid, and materials mechanics, as well as in the broader area of computational mechanics. The training equips candidates with strong theoretical, numerical, and applied skills, enabling them to tackle complex multidisciplinary problems. Applications span a wide range of sectors, including construction and building processes, flexible electronics, transportation and aeronautics, geotechnical and hydraulic engineering, energy systems, and biomedical engineering.
Specific fields
- Study and characterization of thermo-mechanical properties of various kinds of materials: elastic, ipoelastic, elastoplastic, ipoplastic, viscous, traction non-resistant, granular, fiber-reinforced.
- Study and characterization of thermo-mechanical properties of composite, polymeric and nano-structured materials.
- Growth and functionalization of nanotubes, nanofibers and graphene.
- Mechanics of fragile and ductile fractures; contact mechanics; stability of equilibrium.
- Deformation, conduction and coupled flow processes in porous media.
- Biochemical processes in water treatment.
- Formation and propagation processes in surface and sub-surface water flows.
- Hydraulic modeling for the real-time flood forecasting.
- Biological fluid mechanics.
- Pressure flow pipe systems and malfunctioning localization methods.
- Development of numerical and multi-scale methods for the solution of equilibrium and evolution problems in the thermo-mechanics on continuous media.
