The Institute evolved from the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (CSAS) established on 1 January 1953. Its name was changed to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of CSAS in 1955. The present name was adopted on 1 January 1964. The Institute of Electrical Engineering of the CAS was affiliated with the Institute of Thermomechanics on 1 January 2006. Pursuant to Act No. 341/2005 Coll., the Institute became a public research institution on 1 January 2007.
The Institute works in selected fields of technical physics, with special emphasis on the traditional fields, such as the dynamics of fluids, thermodynamics, dynamics of mechanical systems, mechanics of deformable bodies and material diagnostics, and also on interdisciplinary problems, such as interactions between liquid and solid phases, environmental aerodynamics, biomechanics and mechatronics. The study of electric power electromechanical systems is focused on electric machines, devices and other electric equipment with respect to their physical parameters, dynamics and control, and work mode.
