Within the ongoing technological development innovative materials are increasingly applied in all engineering fields. Thereby several skills, ranging from experimental investigations over modelling to numerical simulations with appropriate consideration of the material structure across multiple scales, are demanded from the future engineer. Therefore the members of our research training group will be enabled to acquire an overall expertise in this broad, interdisciplinary scientific field with special dedication to the reliable and efficient treatment of today's and tomorrow's engineering materials. The aims of the research training group are thus focussed on solving urgent questions arising in the area of engineering materials. On the one hand the scope of the programme covers various innovative and traditional materials, e.g. composites, smart materials, ductile materials and geomaterials. On the other hand experimental investigations of these materials together with their constitutive modelling and the indispensable numerical simulation based on advanced computational technics will be treated from a methodological point of view. In summary the coverage of such different aspects is intended to generate synergetic effects for all members of the research training group.
