It is concerned with all areas of mechanics (solids, fluids) as well as adjoining areas of mathematics, in basics and applications, in theory, modeling and simulation.

Membership and responsibilities are governed by a statute. The center is headed by a directorate and holds an office (secretary, managing director).

Tasks of the center cover, in particular:

• stimulate and coordinate joint interdisciplinary research projects in mechanics and numerics
• act as leading body in planning and handling of interdisciplinary research projects
• support coordination of the long-term research and advancement strategy of persons and institutions represented through membership or cooperation
• assist in matching the large equipment acquisition strategies of the persons and institutions represented through membership or cooperation
• initiate and coordinate joint scientific events in all relevant fields of mechanics and numerics
• support scientic exchange with researchers outside the center
• coordinate and advance the courses in the field of mechanics and numerics at the TU Braunschweig
• make the activities of the center known to experts and the general public
