The laboratories for biomechanics & computer-assisted biomechanics have been in operation in the BF building for about a year. To provide an insight into our research and the laboratories as well as to celebrate our start at the new location, we invited to our laboratory opening on November 19, 2025.
The Institute for Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics mourns the loss of Dipl.Ing. Fritz Pachowsky, who passed away on November 12, 2025.
The international project BAANG - Building Actions in Smart Aviation with Environmental Gains has now come to an end by exhibiting its scientific result - a morphing wing demonstrator - at the International Industrial Fair in Brno. The project was focusing on research in the field of so-called smart aviation under the lead of the Brno University of Technology (BUT) and brought together the expertise of BUT, TU Delft, Imperial College London, and TU Wien.
10th CISM-ECCOMAS Advanced Course on Quantum Computing in Computational Mechanics
This year the renowned VERENA Award went to the project "Bionic Train Carriage Body" of the team Siemens Mobility Austria - TU Wien.
Lukas Freinberger, a master’s student at the Institute of Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics (ILSB), has been awarded a “Grant for diploma and PhD theses and specialist courses abroad” by TU Wien.
From June 3-7, 2024, the 9th European Congress on Computational Methods In Applied Sciences and Engineering took place in Lisbon and the ILSB was represented in large numbers
Development of a density-based topology optimization of homogenized lattice structures for individualized hip endoprostheses and validation using micro-FE
The Institute for Lightweight Structures and Structural Biomechanics (ILSB) recently organized a hikingday where 17 participants set out to explore the natural beauty and culture of Vienna. The chosen route, spanning approximately 14 kilometers, promised a day filled with breathtaking landscapes and culinary delights.
A joint excursion of the Institute of Lightweight Structures and Structural Biomechanics and the Aircraft Systems Research Group of the Institute of Engineering Design and Product Development to SGL Composites GmbH and FACC AG in the Innviertel region took place on September 28th. The students, who have already completed courses in lightweight construction/composites as well as aircraft design and aircraft systems engineering, gained an insight into the production and working environment of renowned and internationally successful companies.
The ILSB is one of nine institutes of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Management Sciences at the TU Wien, Vienna, Austria. We are actively involved in teaching and research at the TU Wien, especially in the areas of computer-aided and experimental characterization of materials and structures.
