Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Daniel Balzani
The chair of continuum mechanics is active in developing methods for the continuum mechanical modeling and simulation of complex materials. Focus is on the development of scale-coupling numerical methods as well as new material models which enable the simulation of materials such as multiphase steels, textile membranes, soft biological tissues, fiber-concrete composites, or hardmetal composites by incorporating uncertainties at different scales. Increasingly, the experimental characterization of nonlinear material properties as well as the unique identification of material parameters become more important.

In the context of the DFG project “Computational modeling and simulation of combined seismo- and electrocardiograms as basis for novel diagnostic tools” Dennis Ogiermann and Daniel Balzani visited the cooperation partners of the project Prof. Luigi Perotti and Prof. Hanson Mansy from the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando from June 6 to June 8, 2025. Dennis Ogiermann stayed for another week to work on joint implementations.
The kickoff meeting for the collaborative research centre 1683 "Interaction Methods for the Modular Reuse of Existing Load-Bearing Structures" took place on 22nd and 23rd of may 2025 at the convention centre of the RUB. The chair of continuum mechanics participates in the CRC by means of the subprojects B01 und B03.
The sub-project proposals for the inaugural funding period of the DFG Priority Program 2489 were presented to the panel of reviewers in Bochum. As a member of the program committee, Daniel Balzani hosted the event, collaborating with the DFG. The event commenced with a presentation by program spokesperson Markus Kästner (TU Dresden), who elucidated the content and conceptual framework of the SPP.
