After 20 years, the homepage of the Department of Applied Mechanics has been renewed.
In 1995, the homepage of the department was the first webpage of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Its usual, classic style with its specific colors was set in 2000. Its new structure and style (switch theme) have been made concerning today's expectations.
Any comments with respect to our new site are welcomed at the webadmin@mm.bme.hu email address.
Professor Gábor Stépán won the support of the Frontline - Research Excellence Program for a 5-year project titled "Numerical and hardware-in-the-loop simulation for the suppression of machine tool chatter in milling operation by optimizing the tool-edge geometry and mechanical contacts". Frontline – Research Excellence Programme Proposal is a research support proposal model designed to offer substantial support for a duration of at most 5 years, for researchers who are ranked among the best in their disciplines in the world and are in the most dynamic stage of their research career and aim to realize their research at a Hungarian research institution. The project winners are typically former ERC grant holders.
23/03/2020
BME have implemented enhanced epidemiological protection activities against the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. The detailed instructions can be seen at BME's website.
11/03/2020
BME.hu has recently reported that Stanford University, SciTech
Strategies, and Elsevier have published a worldwide rank of best
researchers. In this list, there are 150 researchers from Hungary, 18
from BME and 4 from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. From the
Department of Applied Mechanics, two professors are in the list, Gábor Stépán and Tamás Insperger.
