- Applications of multiscale modeling and simulation in mechanics for material modeling and development, composites, metamaterials and lattice structures
- Fundamentals of continuum mechanics modeling and finite element analysis
- Methods for coupling of micro and macro scales
- Analytical and numerical homogenization methods based on unit cells / representative volume elements

- Linear and nonlinear multi-scale FEM for elastic two-scale problems.
Winter term 2025-2026
Due to Prof. Weeger's research semester, the lecture will not be offered in the winter semester 2025/26. Nevertheless, there will be oral exam appointments offered in March and April 2026, for which students can prepare using the materials provided in the Moodle course (videos, lecture slides, exercises, and supplementary materials). In addition, there will be office hours for summaries, questions and answers well in advance of the exams. Further information will be announced in the Moodle course.
