Professor Timon Rabczuk

Chair of Computational Mechanics
Bauhaus Universität-Weimar, Since 2009

Research Interests:
The research focus of Prof. Rabczuk is Computational Solid Mechanics with emphasis on method development for problems involving fracture and failure of solids and fluid-structure interaction. Prof. Rabczuk is particularly interested in developing multiscale methods and their application to computational materials design. Constitutive Modeling; Material Instabilities, Fracture, Strain Localization; Numerical Methods (Extended Finite Element and Mesfree Methods); Isogeometric Analysis; Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction; Biomechanical Engineering
