The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics AS CR, v. v. i
(ITAM AS CR, v. v. i.)
The principal research and development activity of the Institute falls into seven domains:
- Mechanics of materials
- Dynamics and stochastic mechanics of systems in interaction with the environment
- Mechanics of plate and shell structures under the action of repeated loading
- Analysis and modelling of particular and cemented materials and environments
- Biomechanics of the human musculo-skeletal system
- Experimental methods in material and structural mechanics
- Diagnostics and sustainability of historical structures, materials and sites
Domain 3:
Mechanics of plate and shell structures under the action of repeated loading
Research on damage to plate and shell structures under the action of combined operational loading and an aggressive corrosion environment.
Modelling of the initiation and growth of cracks in the welds of thin-walled cylindrical shells and in thin-walled plate elements with the aim to ensure (i) their integrity under extreme conditions of exploitation, (ii) methods for increasing barriers against the degradation of bodies, and (iii) means of diagnostic of damage.
