Laboratory of Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media

Research areas, areas of fundamental research

Physical mesomechanics of materials, development of mathematical models of structurally inhomogeneous media, numerical study of deformation and fracture processes at meso- and macrolevels under conditions of dynamic and quasi-static loading, geomechanics, plate tectonics, rock mechanics.

Tasks solved within these areas

- Study of the fundamental laws of nonlinear processes that determine the plasticity and staged formation of sources of dynamic destruction in materials and environments with a hierarchically organized internal structure.

- Development of model ideas about the nature of slow deformation autowave movements in various materials, including geomedia.

- Development, based on the continuum approach, of computer models of ceramic materials with pore space structures corresponding to different modes of synthesis of such materials.

- Numerical study of the features of the mechanical behavior of porous ceramic materials with a hierarchical structure under different types of loading.

- Development of scientific foundations for modeling the deformation behavior of polycrystalline materials based on physically based theories of plasticity, taking into account crystallographic orientation and slip systems.

- Computational mesomechanics of interfaces and modeling of multi-level processes of deformation and fracture in composite materials and materials with modified surface layers at different scale levels.

- Development of hierarchical models of deformation and destruction of metal-ceramic composite coatings taking into account the evolution of residual stresses.

- Development of a computer modeling approach to assess the influence of technological parameters on the structure and mechanical properties of additive materials.

- Study of the patterns of evolution of deformation relief in polycrystalline materials at different scale levels.

- Multi-level modeling of deformation processes in permanent joints obtained by friction stir welding.
