Sponsoring association

 

Aachener Allgemeine Mechanik has a long history. It has existed since the university was founded in 1870. The first chair holder was August Ritter, whose cutting method named after him is widely known in the theory of half-timbered houses.

The Institute of General Mechanics provides basic mechanical training for students of mechanical engineering, metallurgy and materials technology, secondary school teaching and technical editing. Particularly with regard to new teaching methods and the use of new media, it is constantly striving to improve its offerings.

In the research sector, there are research groups in the fields of shell and plate theory, import behaviour, biomechanics as well as damage and fracture mechanics. In addition to the powerful computer network for the treatment of numerical problems, there are also well-equipped experimental facilities, such as a biomechanics laboratory, a shock wave laboratory and a structural laboratory for the investigation of components under complex loading conditions.
