03.12.025 - Second edition - Deep Learning in Computational Mechanics
The second edition of our lecture book Deep Learning in Computational Mechanics is now published at Springer. The book introduces fundamental concepts of Machine Learning, (physics informed) Neural Networks, and Machine Learning in Computational Mechanics. It then proceeds to those applications we currently find most promising in the intersection of Deep Learning and Computational Mechanics: Constitutive Modeling, Generative Artificial Intelligence and Inverse Problems. The didactic concept of the lecture book is to provide the theory along with minimal working examples that are yet able to highlight both advantages and drawbacks of the presented approaches compared to classical procedures. The accompanying material of the book includes lecture slides, solutions to the exercises, and coded examples all of which are published free of charge at http://www.deeplearningincomputationalmechanics.com . This additional material is designed to help interested researchers and practitioners to jumpstart their own endeavor.

24 October 2024 - Simulation for Additive Manufacturing
The Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering is co-organizing the conference Simulation for Additive Manufacturing, SIM-AM 2025, which will take place from 9-11 September 2025 in Pavia, Italy. It traditionally deals with the simulation of additive manufacturing processes in mechanical engineering. This year, however, with Prof. Kloft as plenary speaker and at least one dedicated mini-symposium, it will also be adressing scientific topics in additive manufacturing in construction. The deadline for submitting abstracts is currently April 7, 2025
1 October 2024 - 1st ECCOMAS Artificial Intelligence and Computational Methods in Applied Science
The Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering is co-organizer of the first ECCOMAS thematic conference in Artificial Intelligence and Computational Methods. It will be co-hosted with the IACM Digital Twins in Engineering Conference (DTE 2025) from February 17-21, 2025 in Paris. Abstract submission is still open until the 31st of October 2025.
16 September 2024 - New employee at the chair
We welcome Matti Christmann as successor to Mr. Oztoprak, who will continue his career after his doctorate with a position at a large software company in Munich.
Mr. Christmann will work in the DFG Transregio 277 'Additive Manufacturing in Construction' and will work in project C01 on the prediction of the load-bearing capacity of additively manufactured components from image data. We are looking forward to further developing numerical methods together with him.
Welcome to the team!
08 August 2024 Chair excursion
At the end of the summer semester, the Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering met for a bike tour around Weimar. Among other things, we followed in the footsteps of Lyonel Feininger, visited the orangery of Belvedere Castle and discovered the first human in Ehringsdorf.
08.08.2024 - DEiB-Programmierwettbewerb
Zum Ende des Sommersemesters 2024 veranstaltet die Professur Data Engineering im Bauwesen erneut den "DEiB-Programmierwettbewerb" für Bauinformatik-Nachwuchstalente, diesmal zum Thema "Kostenkalkulation für Baumaschinen", bei dem die Belegarbeit um interessante Funktionalitäten erweitert werden kann. Der Kreativität sind dabei keine Grenzen gesetzt! Möglich wäre zum Beispiel eine Modifikation hinsichtlich
- Speicherung von Ergebnissen als Text-Datei,
- Erweiterung um weitere Berechnungen/Klassen oder
- Integration von JavaDocKommentaren oder eine graphische Menüführung/Ergebnisausgabe.
Teilnahmeberechtigt sind alle Studierenden, die im aktuellen Sommersemester den Beleg „Informatik für Ingenieure, Teil 1“ erfolgreich bearbeitet haben. Es sind Gruppen von 1-2 Studierenden zulässig. Es winken nicht nur Ruhm und Ehre, sondern auch Büchergutscheine oder Sachpreise. Einsendeschluss ist der 08. August 2024. Weitere Informationen finden Sie hier.
