On October 27–28, 2026, the International Scientific and Technical Symposium “Modern Problems in the Design of Special-Purpose Systems” was held at Dnipro University of Technology. Staff of ITM NASU and SSAU also took part in it.
At the plenary session, Volodymyr Poshyvalov, Director of ITM NASU and SSAU, Corresponding Member of the NAS of Ukraine, gave a talk titled “Prediction of the durability of structural materials under isothermal creep.”
In the section “Current problems and results of solving problems of strength and reliability of special-purpose structures,” papers were presented by staff of the Department of Strength and Reliability of Mechanical Systems, namely Leading Researcher Anatolii Dzyuba (co-authored with Volodymyr Poshyvalov and Volodymyr Sirenko) on the topic “Challenging problems of improving the credibility of numerical prediction of critical loads of complex structures” and Researcher Bohdan Terokhin (co-authored with Eteri Hart) on the topic “Choice of material inhomogeneity parameters to reduce stress concentration near an elliptical hole in functionally graded plates.”
In the section “Mathematical and computer modeling of critical structures and systems,” papers were presented by staff of the Department of Dynamics of Hydromechanical and Vibration Protection Systems, namely Junior Researcher Nataliia Zinevych (co-authored with Yurii Kvasha) on the topic “On the representation of the objective function in the optimization of technical systems,” Senior Researcher Inna Bashlii (co-authored with Oleksii Nikolayev) on the topic “Numerical modeling of the interaction between spatial acoustic gas oscillations and the combustion chamber structure of a liquid-propellant propulsion system,” and of the Department of Statistical Dynamics and Dynamics of Multidimensional Mechanical Systems, namely Senior Researcher Dmytro Horobets (co-authored with Maryna Sobolevska) on the topic “Development of mathematical models for assessing the strength of hip joint elements in service after arthroplasty.”
