- Mathematical modeling and design of engineering structures and geological objects undergoing extra-high-intensive thermomechanical loads.
- Analysis and prediction of behavior of structures with defects (formation of micro- and macro-rupture, fast crack propagation, etc.), development of state-of-the-art criteria for prediction ofmaterial and structurestrength.
- Testing of strength of materials under extreme conditions (high-rate loading, explosion, aggressive chemical environment) utilizing unique experimental equipment.
