The science festival in Rijeka is an annual event in Rijeka that tries to bring science closer to the general public. Usually it consists of lectures delivered by the volunteering researchers and professors all around the city of Rijeka and beyond. This year however, we were confined to the more (or less) comfortable chairs of […]

The objective of the nwt 5 has been to train participants on the advanced simulation of ropes and cables. The contents included the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, ALE formulation, geometrically exact beams, and the efficient computer implementation, specifically with regards to open source simulation codes. Additionally, the local frame approach and Lie group methods have […]
Stefan Hante, a PhD student from Martin Luther University Halle, took part as an external participant in nwt 5 and shares his experience of the week in Austria. “The network wide training nwt5 took place in the first week of September 2020. Not only did everybody learn a lot about beam models, Lie groups and […]
The European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) presented THREAD in its annual report. Highly flexible slender structures like yarns, cables, hoses or ropes are essential parts of high-performance engineering systems. The complex response of such structures in real operational conditions is far beyond the capabilities of current modelling tools that are at the core […]
I spent the 3rd month of my Ph.D. project in Kaiserslautern. My experience there was amazing, and I learned so much during the four weeks I stayed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM. During this secondment, I had the opportunity to learn about a different way to research, which I never came in […]
Guest Scientist at Fraunhofer ITWM and Virtual Network-wide Training Promote Scientific Exchange International networks enrich the scientific exchange. Within the framework of the European Union’s THREAD doctoral program, this is currently lived out twice at the Fraunhofer ITWM: In July, the institute welcomes THREAD doctoral student Denise Tumiotto, who will spend four weeks as a […]
The first part of nwt 10, organised by Prof. Dejan Zupan of the University of Ljubljana, took place online this week. With a lot of practical exercises, the ESRs learned methods and instruments to write good scientific texts and to present themselves and their research to different target audiences. The workshop was facilitated by Dr. […]
This week, the first part of the first network-wide training took place. Our ESRs joined the lectures and practical exercises on non-linear beam theory and flexible multibody dynamics online. Here are some impressions from the ESRs: Davide: “The first nwt was an exciting experience, especially because we had the chance to face and solve exercises […]
The first on-site network-wide training will take place from 1 September to 5 September 2020 in Obergurgl, Austria. It is organised by Prof. Johannes Gerstmayr from the University of Innsbruck. The ESRs will hear lectures from Prof. José Escalona, Prof. Olivier Brüls and Prof. Johannes Gerstmayr and learn about the modelling and simulation of ropes […]
Despite the current pandemic, the training activities in THREAD will start soon. Our ESRs will be able to learn about non-linear beam theory, taught by the team of Professor Sigrid Leyendecker, and flexible multibody dynamics, taught by Professor José Escalona, in an online seminar taking place between 29 June and 3 July 2020. The remaining […]
EU-Doktorandenprogramm mit besonderen Herausforderungen Am 1. April 2020 hätte Davide Manfredo seine Doktorandenstelle beim Fraunhofer ITWM in Kaiserslautern antreten sollen. Er ist Teilnehmer eines ganz besonderen Programmes, in dem die EU europaweit 14 Promotionsstellen für drei Jahre fördert: »THREAD – Joint Training on Numerical Modelling of Highly Flexible Structures for Industrial Applications«. Der Fokus liegt […]
01/04/2020 Rijeka, Croatia / Kaiserlautern, Germany On 1 April, two new doctoral students joined THREAD: Jan Tomec in the group of Professor Gordan Jelenić at the University of Rijeka and Davide Manfredo at Fraunhofer ITWM under the supervision of Dr. Joachim Linn. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s not possible for Davide to travel to Kaiserslautern right now […]
12/03/2020, Rijeka, Croatia A local meeting of THREAD partners was planned for today at the University of Rijeka, Croatia. Because of current travel restrictions due to COVID-19 / Corona virus, Dr. Tomaž Šuštar (Principal investigator at C3M d.o.o., Ljubljana, Slovenia) and his PhD student Toni Jelušić could not attend the meeting personally but only online […]
