Yesterday, CPS celebrated a significant milestone with our first Ph.D. defense! Congratulations to Iman Valizadeh for this remarkable achievement!

In our recently published article, we extend physics-augmented neural networks for hyperelastic material modeling to parameteric dependencies.

In our latest publication, an experimentally validated multiscale modeling framework for additively manufactured shell lattice structures with graded parameters is introduced.

The CPS institute is again offering the master's lecture “Introduction to the Finite Element Method” and the tutorial “Machine Learning in Solid Mechanics” in the winter semester 2023/2024. We also recommend the lecture “Applied Structural Optimization” by Prof. Harzheim.

In our latest work, advanced spatial and temporal discretization techniques are tailored to hyperelastic material models based on physics-augmented neural networks.

To support research and teaching, several positions for student assistants are available at the Cyber-Physical Simulation group.

Within the joint project “CellDistinct” in the “LOEWE Exploration” funding programme, Prof. Blaeser (IDD/BMT) and Prof. Weeger (CPS) will research the mechanobiological foundations of stem cell differentiation.

Our former master student Michael Wiesheu received the Hansjörg Wacker Memorial Prize 2023 of the ECMI for the best mathematical mater thesis on an industrial project – Congratulations Michael!

Congratulations to our doctoral researcher Iman Valizadeh for the publication of his latest article in the Additive Manufacturing journal

In a collaboration with Prof. Dhruv Bhate from Arizona State University, the Venus’ flower basket sea sponge’s exoskeleton served as an inspiration for the design of ultra-compliant 3D printed lattices.

What do optimal magnet assemblies look like for the most efficient magnetocaloric cooling systems? We try to answer this question in a recent publication using isogeometric optimization!

In a recent collaboration with colleagues from INSA Toulouse, we have developed a virtual image correlation method for the generation of image-based isogeometric twins of lattice structures with varying cross-section beams.

In our latest article in collaboration with colleagues from Arizona State University, we have demonstrated the application of 3D beam models for the simulation of 3D printed beam lattice structures.

Congratulations to our research associate Iman Valizadeh for winning a “Best Research Presentation Award” at the 4DMDA conference!

The Cyber-Physical Simulation group is offering two courses in the up-coming winter term 2022-2023: The lecture “Introduction to the Finite Element Method” and the tutorial “Machine Learning in Solid Mechanics”.

In collaboration with Rogelio Ortigosa & Jesús Martínez-Frutos from TU Cartagena, we extended our physics-augmented neural network constitutive models to electro-elastic material behavior.

Our latest article on “Mixed isogeometric collocation for geometrically exact 3D beams with elasto-visco-plastic material behavior and softening effects” was just published in CMAME.

An article in collaboration with the KLuB institute at TU Darmstadt was just published in the journal “Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures”.

Dr. Sumudu Herath will spend a DAAD-funded research stay at the CPS until September.

New publication in “Thin-walled Structures” based on cooperation with our guest scientist Dr. Shojaee.

Congratulations to Iman Valizadeh for the publication of his latest article in the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences!

The Cyber-Physical Simulation group is offering two courses during summer term 2022: The lecture “Multiscale Methods in Computational Mechanics ” and the tutorial “Finite Element Simulation in Structural and Solid Mechanics”.

Our latest article, which was just published in the journal “Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization” integrates our isogeometric methods for the optimization of the centerline curve and cross-sectional design of nonlinear 3D beams and lattice structures.
