All departments of the Institute participate in research and development activities in the form of project solutions of Czech and foreign grant agencies, direct orders from industry and bilateral cooperation with foreign partners. They achieve internationally comparable results and, according to the focus of individual departments, their activities mainly affect the following areas:
Employees of the department solve the problems of stiffness, strength, dynamics, fatigue and ductile failure of machine parts and systems in complex conditions of time-varying mechanical and thermal loads. The subject of interest is also the influence of residual stresses, the dynamics of rotating machines or the use of DIC in the analysis of deformation.
The main topics are the areas of micro/meso mechanics of anisotropic heterogeneous materials and gradient elasticity, focused recently on the design of complex material structures from functional materials or on the development and computational analysis of advanced "SMART" materials. In the center of interest is also the analytical-numerical description of brittle fracture in these multifunctional materials.
From a wide range of topics, the staff of the department is mainly focused on developments in the area of the cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal biomechanics and bioacoustics. A specific feature of the department is a close cooperation with leading medical and research facilities in the Czech Republic and abroad.
The principal topics include the development of advanced algorithms and control methods for complex nonlinear systems, identification of systems with a focus on parameter estimation of simulation models and rapid design of control systems and testing of mechatronic systems.
This is a new department, operating from the beginning of 2024. The content of its research activity will be the development of autonomous systems, AI and mobile robotics with applications in the field of smart factories and agriculture.
