✨ It was a pleasure to be part of the 96th Annual Meeting of the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) here in Stuttgart.
The conference was a fantastic opportunity to present our latest findings and engage in exciting discussions.
We are delighted with the positive feedback and active exchange with the community.

➡️ Tarun Mitruka presented his work titled "Reducing the Variational Index for a Hierarchic Family of Structural Formulations," where he showed a mixed method that enables the usage of standard Lagrange finite elements not only for shear-rigid Kirchhoff-type structural formulations but also for shear-deformable hierarchic formulations.

➡️ Henrik Jakob presented recent work about "Geometrically and Materially Induced Artificial Instabilities in Mixed Nonlinear Finite Element Formulations". Here, numerical, artificial instabilities of locking-free finite elements under large deformations were investigated. Furthermore, promising methods of fixing these instabilities were proposed.

➡️ Manfred Bischoff showed recent results from the novel method about "Data-based estimation of the critical time step size for explicit time integration in dynamics".

🙏 Many thanks to the conference organizers for a well-run and engaging event, and to all colleagues for the insightful discussions.
