Specialization

• Analysis and modelling of complex mechanical systems, including damage and failure mechanics, fatigue and corrosion analysis and nonlinear finite element analysis
• Assessment of complex mechanical and industrial structures, such as wind energy plants, cooling towers, chimneys, high pressure equipment and other machine elements
• Failure and accident investigations of welded and non-welded structures also in litigation cases
• Modelling of highly nonlinear, dynamic and large timescale failure scenarios
• Development material subroutines to capture the complex behavior of various engineering materials (metals, concrete, plastics)
• Debris models to assess the impact of falling masses on ground vibrations and surrounding structures

Dr. Giesa has published numerous papers in the field of mechanics of materials and serves as peer reviewer to several journals in the field of damage mechanics. He has supervised Bachelor’s and Master’s theses at RWTH and MIT.
