Main Scientific Results and Achievements
 
  •  A multilevel hierarchical system of complex models and failure criteria of structural materials under extreme physical and mechanical effects has been created to provide and improve systems performance and to extend service life and survivability for machines and structures.
  • The methods of theoretical and experimental physical-mechanical simulation of damage and failure of structural elements under complex stress state have been developed, capable of predicting the limit state, the allowable levels of service life, vitality and safety of high-risk facilities that have defects.
  •  Analytical model of state of complex engineering facilities has been calculated on the basis of the method of generalized limiting states that can determine the probability of failure in the system.
  •  Experimental means and techniques have been improved for control of thermally loaded TPP and NPP equipment.
  • The methods of experimental and numerical study into the strength and service life of modern structural materials and machine parts have been worked out with the aim of studying and obtaining some advanced technologies for development of civil and defense products with enhanced properties of survivability, safety and security.
  • The implementation of scientific achievements while developing complex engineering interfaces for reactors, thermonuclear and nuclear units of various types, for steam turbines, flying vehicles designed for civil and military purposes, as well as for main and field oil and gas pipelines, railway transport facilities, etc.
