About the Department of Strength of Materials and Structures The staff of the Department conduct research and classes. The department achievements are well-known and recognized by other Scientists conducting research in area of stability of thin-walled structures. We develop mathematical models, conduct numerical simulations and experimental tests of thin-walled structural elements made of steel materials or laminates, including hybrid ones. We investigate thin-walled structural elements loaded statically or dynamically, mechanically, and thermo-mechanically, considering their stability (including interaction of various buckling modes), post-buckling equilibrium paths, load-carrying capacity and phases of failure (including delamination and its propagation in the case laminates). We analyse the fixation of mandibular bone fractures in terms of strength by conducting numerical simulations using the results of experimental studies on the structure of the mandibular bones of other research teams. This activity is complemented by scientific and technical works in the field of stress and deformation analysis of structural elements of machines and devices carried out in cooperation and for the needs of industry. The main areas of research activity are: • development of mathematical models, numerical simulations, and experimental verification of thin-walled structural elements made of isotropic and composite materials (FRP, FML or FGM laminates), • analysis of the failure mechanisms and energy absorption in thin-walled elements subjected to impact, • experimental and numerical tests in the field of fracture mechanics for laminates, • numerical simulations and experimental studies of biomechanical elements with the main focus on the stress state and deformations in bone systems and implants (e.g. mandible, teeth, implants and bone connecting elements). 7.
