Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics
The Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics (LKM) engages enthusiatic researchers working on a wide range of scientific topics that apply experimental and computational mechanics to tackle various interdisciplinary research questions including mechanics of living tissues, biomaterials, and 3D printing. Through the combination of experiments, continuum mechanics modeling, and simulation, we strive to improve our understanding of the mechanical behavior of biological structures and to find innovative solutions at the interfaces of engineering, medicine and biological sciences.
Big thanks to Dr. Kevin Linka and Dr. Hagen Holthusen from the Institute of Applied Mechanics, RWTH Aachen University, for visiting us and giving insightful talks on "Data-Driven Material Modeling for Soft Biological Tissues" and "Material Discovery with Inelastic Constitutive Artificial Neural Netw...
We had a fantastic time at the GAMM conference 2024 in Magdeburg from March 18-22! It was great catching up with old friends and collaborators, engaging in in-depth discussions during the poster sessions and presentations, and forming new partnerships. Nina Reiter presented her latest paper on "Micr...
Tauche ein in die faszinierende Welt der Zellmechanik und -differenzierung mit Shanice Heidenreich (C04) und Michael Tranchina (A04) vom Institut für Biochemie. Entdecke, wie Hydrogele mit einstellbarer Steifigkeit unser Verständnis von zellulärem Verhalten voranbringen.
On March 20, 2024, the 5th EBM Harmonisation Workshop took place, where twelve participants of the EBM Integrated Research Training Group recently delved into the intricate processes underlying early brain development during an immersive workshop.
The Consortium on Exploring Brain Mechanics met on February 9 at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, to provide a comprehensive progress update on all ongoing projects within its purview.
