After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend modern theories of advanced macro- & micromechanics of materials, up to a level which allows them to assign them to the solution of practical problemsin civil and bioengineering.

- fundamentals of continuum mechanics -- representative volume element - thermodynamics of porous continua - poroelasticity - poroplasticity - fundamentals of continuum micromechanics - applications in geo and bioengineering (e.g. tunneling, orthopaedics, wood engineering)

Lecture at the blackboard; presentation of slide collection and selected scientific papers; open discussion with the students

At the beginning of the semester, a date survey is created in which students can enter their availability with regard to possible lecture dates.


In order to get access to the TUWEL course from the start of the semester, a non-binding electronic registration for the course "202. 051 Advanced Macro- & Micromechanics of Materials" in TISS is required.

This course can only be taken as elective of study

066658 (Chemistry and Technology of Materials).

written assignment and oral exam at the end of the semester

advanced knowledge in applied mathematics and mechanics advisable
