On November 24, a film crew visited the Institute of Mechanics to attend the lecture on the mechanics of glaciers and gain an insight into the work of the institute. The footage is to be included in a documentary presenting women who were pioneers in polar research.
Ice Modeler Workshop 08/21 to 08/23, 2023
From August 21st to 23th, 2023 the Ice Modeler Workshop took place at the Institute for Mechanics. Around 20 participants discussed icy topics such as modelling, numerics and HPC on Monday and Tuesday. The workshop ended on August 23th with a visit to the GSI (Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research).
1st place cycled! City cycling 2023 at the department 13 with a great result
The city cycling has come to an end and our department 13 can draw a great balance: It is the winner of all TU Darmstadt teams! In total, 38 cyclists have cycled 10428 km in three weeks. Best within the team of department 13 was our Timm Schultz with 1609 kilometers. A total of 275 cyclists competed for the TU Darmstadt.

New project is funded by the DFG
We're happy to announce that the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft will fund the project with the title “Development of a Viskoelastic Phase Field Model for Fracture Processes with Application in Ice Dynamics”.
In this project, the progression of fractures in ice shelfs, which leads to the braking off of icebergs, will be examined. For this purpose, a model that uses the phase field method will be developed.
