Mechanics

 The Head of the Department,

Professor, Doctor of technical Sciences

Faivisovich Aleksandr Viktorovich

General reference
The Department was established on 1 September 1975.
The first head of the Department  was an associate Professor, Candidate of technology  Sciences Vysochin Boris Mikhailovich.
The first iscientific research in the history of the University was written by personels of the Department "Mechanics". In the entire history of the Department's staff were made more than 30 research papers and protected about 10 scientific theses. Published hundreds of scientific articles and teaching materials, including 10 monographs and textbooks. A problem scientific laboratory was created at the Department. This Department  was an organizer of the foundation of 2 new specializations: "Mechanization of cargo handling operations" and "Applied mechanics".

The academic disciplines of the Department mechanics
theoretical mechanics
applied mechanics
resistance of materials
theory of machines and mechanisms
machine parts and design basics
prediction of the strength and durability of structural elements
basics of engineering calculations on strength

Scientific direction of the Department - "Fatigue strength and durability of structural elements and their content, taking into account of loading conditions"
Ensuring the strength and durability of structures and mechanisms is the main task of engineering projects. General trends in the development of modern technology, aimed at reducing its metal consumption, leading to increased loading of structural elements and parts. The effect of variable loads and aggressive environments often leads to the destruction flowing through the mechanism of development of fatigue cracks. The kinetics of such damage depends on many external factors, as well as mechanical properties of structural materials. The accuracy of prediction of residual life of structural elements in largely depends on the completeness of the information about the mechanical properties of materials and the availability of appropriate models and methods of calculation.
