The faculty of the Mechanics Division has qualifications that combined range
from advanced theoretical methods to applied and experimental methods in
mechanics. The research in the division covers a number of areas in fluid
mechanics as well as in solid and structural mechanics. Despite a reasonably
wide range of interests, the various faculty members have a common theoretical
foundation in major mechanics and applied mathematics disciplines, and, thus,
benefit from the interaction with other members of the group. A factor that in
particular has an integrating effect, is the common focus on basic and general
mathematical modeling and IT (information technology). For students in the
division, the wide range of mechanics applications covered by the faculty
interests, is beneficial in that it allows for many interesting and relevant
research topics, and later for a wide spectrum of job opportunities in industry
and research.
