Students are educated in the basics of solid mechanics, computational mechanics (solids, fluids and other mechanical fields and coupled field problems; theoretical and numerical basics and principles of modelling; optimal design), experimental methods in mechanics and reliability of mechanical systems. The department solves industry problems from the fields of linear and non-linear static and dynamics of structures, fluid dynamics, solid-fluid interaction, optimal design and strength of materials. Static and quasistatic characteristics of materials are experimentally investigated. Students use software engineering tools: Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, PTC / Creo Parametric, Dassault Systemes / Catia, Mathworks / MATLAB, Mathematica, MathCAD, Maple, ANSYS Workbench, ADINA, MSC / Marc, MSC Adams, Nexis, SysWeld and others. Graduates of study programs provided by the department will find employment as specialists in the field of analysis and assessment of mechanical structure elements (designer - solutionist, etc.); in the field of materials testing (specialist of destructive and non-destructive tests); specialists in the field of research and development (researcher - at the research institute, at the Academy of Sciences, at the university, etc.).
