CRC/TRR 280 Represented at WCCM-ECCOMAS 2026 in Munich
From July 19 to 24, 2026, members of SFB/TRR 280 presented their latest research at the 17th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM-ECCOMAS 2026) in Munich.
In addition to numerous presentations by our early-career researchers, the team actively shaped the scientific program: Prof. Sven Klinkel and Prof. Rostislav Chudoba (both RWTH Aachen University) organized and chaired the two-part minisymposium “MS050A: Computational and Experimental Approaches for Slender Concrete Structures.”
Our Presentations:
- Dong Zhao (with J. Storm, M. Kaliske): A finite strain formulation for the modeling of fresh concrete during hydration
- Marja-Lisa Herrmann (with S. Klarmann, S. Klinkel): A Shell-in-Shell FE² Approach for Internally Resolved Structures
- Domen Macek (with F. Döpke, T. Brepols, H. Holthusen): Generative MOR-Based Design of Modular Carbon-Reinforced Concrete Structures
- Eduarda Dilkin & Carlos Guilherme Gomes Cruz (presented by R. Chudoba; with M. Classen, A. Scholzen): Modeling Thin Folded Carbon-Reinforced Concrete Shells: Effects of Reinforcement Ratio on Load Capacity and Failure Mode
- Stephan Ritzert (with J. Kehls, H. Holthusen, S. Reese, T. Brepols): Component-wise Reduced-order Modeling of Thin-walled Modular Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete Structures
- Verena Curoșu & Stefan Löhnert: An Improved Extended Phase-Field Method (XPFM) Applicable to Fracture Processes (Parts 1 & 2)
- Leonie Koch (with V. Curoșu, S. Löhnert): Simulation of crack surface friction within the phase-field method
Networking at the FRC Event
Another highlight was the 10th anniversary celebration of the IACM Female Researchers Chapter (FRC). Marja-Lisa Herrmann, Verena Curoșu, and Leonie Koch represented SFB/TRR 280 at this special evening dedicated to research recognition, mentoring, and international networking for women in computational mechanics.
