Preparation of a highly qualified specialist in the field of mechanics, competitive in both the domestic and the global market, having fundamental scientific training, able to successfully carry out relevant scientific research at high methodological level and having an active and conscious civic position.
As a result of studying the discipline, PhD students will be able to:
1. ON1 to critically analyze modern analytical and numerical methods for solving problems of theoretical and celestial mechanics and choose appropriate methods taking into account the limitations in the formulation of a specific physical problem;
2. ON2 to comprehensively analyze the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, analyze the principles of constructing models of turbulent flows, simulate problems of the fluid dynamics with a high order of accuracy using high-performance calculations and parallel calculations;
3. ON3 to simulate heat and mass transfer problems, construct models taking into account the chemical reactions occurring, conduct research on complex physical processes in COMSOL Multiphysics software where several modules are involved;
4. ON4 to design actuators, manipulators, stationary and mobile robots using modern methods of modeling robotic systems, design calculations, diagnostics and control of mechatronic systems, including methods for studying modern intelligent systems of robots;
5. ON5 to apply analytical and numerical methods to solving problems of the theory of plasticity and creeping flow, special problems of the mechanics of a deformable solid, the mechanics of underground structures, the mechanics of brittle fracture, the mechanics of composites;
6. ON6 to analyze and interpret scientific data from various fields of mechanics using modern data processing methods, including visualization, and develop practical recommendations based on them;
7. ON7 to distinguish between the conditions of stability and instability, the chaos inception, the definition of the hotbeds of chaos and their boundaries, applying this knowledge to solve problems of specific areas of mechanics;
8. ON8 to write independently scientific projects, setting a theoretical or practical problem of mechanics which is a matter of public interest, and develop an algorithm for research activities necessary for its solution;
9. ON9 to implement and correct/adjust, if necessary, the process of independent scientific research, selecting the methods that most accurately meet the problem’s solution;
10. ON10 to critically analyze and evaluate the results obtained, to formulate reasonable conclusions even in conditions of incomplete or limited information;
11. ON11 to write scientific articles and communicate to the wide scientific community the results of their research, critically highlighting their significance;
12. ON12 to determine the direction and intensity of their professional development in the chosen scientific field, be able to work in a team and promote the development of the collective and society as a whole.
