The Applied Mechanics Department

Now our department is a big scientific and educational center. More than 60 lecturers, engineers, IT and other specialists are working here. The staff consists of 7 full professors and nearly 30 associate professors, who run all sorts of classes on different subjects. According to the subject several divisions are organized. They are:

1. Strength of Materials

2. Structural Mechanics

3. Dynamics of Machines

4. Plasticity and Creep

5. Testing Equipment

6. Experimental Methods

All these branches of activity are supervised by our leading professors. They manage to run significant scientific work and to teach their students both classical theories and recent achievements in their area.

We get a great deal of experimental activities during our education. The Strength of Materials Lab is now reconstructed and gradually becomes a modern laboratory equipped with proper testing machines. This year the Applied Mechanics Department has got an additional new laboratory for dynamical research. Now modern computerized equipment is being installed there. I believe we’ll get the chance to operate it during our labs. Frequently our teachers ask us to help them, because all documentation is coming in English. So, our knowledge of professional English is very helpful. Above all we are the generation that grew up with computer and sometimes we can make things work, being a help for noble professors.

Next year we celebrate the 130-th anniversary of Applied Mechanics Department. We are very proud of being the students of such a glorious and forward-looking chair. We’ll prepare a special show for our annual meeting ‘KAPYATNIK’ next spring.

Thank you.
