In 2005 the Kazan Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences
marks the 60-th Anniversary. It was established in 1945 as Kazan Branch of the
USSR Academy of Sciences. Since 1946 the researches in mechanics were carried
out in Kazan Branch.
The outstanding mechanical engineer, professor H.M.Mushtary, the founder
of the Kazan school of the nonlinear shells theory, was the director (1946 -
1972) of Kazan Physical Technical Institute, in which he was the head of the
Department of the Theory of Shells more than 30 years. Corresponding Member of
the Academy of Sciences N.G.Chebotarev organized Sector of Mathematics. The
Theory of Filtration became the main scientific direction of Sector of
Mathematics. A valuable contribution to the development of mechanics at Kazan
Physical Technical Institute was made by Sh.U.Galiev, K.Z.Galimov, M.S.Ganeeva,
B.V.Gulin, V.L.Danilov, M.A.Ilgamov, M.S.Kornishin, G.S.Salekhov, I.V.Svirskiy,
V.V.Skvortsov, I.G.Teregulov, V.D.Chugunov and others.
The Institute of Mechanics and Engineering of Kazan Science Center of
the RAS was founded in 1991 on the basis of mechanics departments of Kazan
Physical Technical Institute. The organizer and first Director (1991 - 1996) of
the Institute was Corresponding Member of the RAS M.A.Ilgamov (at present a
scientific adviser to the Institute). In 1996-98 V.L.Fedjaev, PhD, nowadays
D.Sc., fulfilled the duties of the director of IME. Since 1998 the director of
the Institute is D.A.Gubaidullin, the Corresponding Member of the RAS.
The
main theoretical and experimental investigation tendencies of the Institute
are:
ž
non-linear mechanics of thin-walled
constructions, hydroaeroelastic and wave systems (scientific schools of
professor H.M.Mushtary and Corresponding Member of the RAS M.A.Ilgamov);
ž
dynamics of multiphase multicomponent media in
porous structures and technological plants (the scientific consultant
Academician R.I.Nigmatulin);
ž
non-linear stability theory of control systems
with changeable structure (the scientific advisor Academician V.M.Matrosov).
In
the Institute the theory of strong interaction of thin-walled structures with
fluids taking into account large displacement of the contact surface is
developed. Systems which are the models of engines, pipe-lines, parachutes,
superconducting cable, bioshells etc. have been investigated. The intensive nonlinear oscillations of gas and aerosol in tubes have
been experimentally and theoretically investigated.
A theory of propagation of waves in the
polydispersed vapor-gas-droplets suspensions, a theory of stability of the
spherical shape of gas bubble in liquid, stability and dynamic of shells with
filler, algorithms of calculation of strength
of shells of complicated geometry under intensive thermo-force loading, the method of
definition of mechanical properties of films and membranes of inhomogeneous
structure have been developed.
Methods of identification of filtration
parameters of oil, gas and water-bearing reservoirš have been developed. Models of water flooding of reservoirš with application of polymerdispersed systems
have been constructed.
Mathematical
models of heat and mass transfer in heat exchangers and filters of
technological plants, systems of water cooling , methods of strengthening of
cooling towers bodies, constructions of ventilators have been developed.
Relativistic
dynamics of variable weight of rest is advanced. Method of vector functions by
Lyapunov was developed for investigating the stability of non-linear systems of
control and systems with random structure changes.
The
results of researches are used at the factories of oil production,
petrochemistry, machine industry. The researches are
carried out with usage of the high-performance computing system MVS-1000/16K.
The Institute is currently engaged in:
ž
programs of basic researches of Presidium of
RAS "Parallel computations and
multiprocessor computing systems", "Control of mechanical systems";
ž
programs of basic researches of Department of
power engineering, machine industry, mechanics and control processes of RAS
"Dynamic and acoustics of inhomogeneous fluids, gas-liquid systems and
suspensions", "Structural mechanics of materials and elements of constructions.
Interaction of nano-micro-meso and macroscales at deformation and destruction",
"Accumulation of damage, destruction, wear process and structural changes of
materials under intensive mechanical, temperature and radiant effects";
ž
program "Integration", grants RFBR.
