Peter Wriggers

Peter Wriggers is a German engineer and researcher specializing in computational mechanics, particularly in finite element methods. He develops advanced computer algorithms to simulate how materials and structures—like bridges, aircraft, and mechanical parts—respond to forces, stresses, and deformations. His work helps engineers design safer, more efficient structures by accurately predicting their behavior under various conditions. Wriggers also contributes to scientific literature, advancing understanding in the field of continuum mechanics and numerical analysis, supporting innovation and engineering resilience.
