with microstructure under finite deformations).



His areas of scientific interests are General theory of elastic and inelastic shells and its applications; Cosserat shells and plates; theory of plates and shells made of functionally graded material, foams, etc.; and modeling of the phase transitions in shells and films; Theory of continuum media with microstructures such as micropolar fluids, Cosserat media, strain gradient elasticity, porous media, foams, nanostructures, and metamaterials; Nonlinear elasticity; nonlinear mechanics of elastic and inelastic media with phase transformations; mathematical modeling of shape memory alloys; and martensite phase transitions; and Nano- and micromechanics.







Prof. Dr Leonid A. Igumnov is doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, professor, and head of the Department of Theoretical, Computer and Experimental Mechanics ofNational Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod. He is honorary worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. He is one of the talented representatives of the scientific school of strength of materials, founded by Professor A.G. Ugodchikov (1920-2007). His research interests include models of the mechanics of damaged medium; methods for assessing the strength and service life of materials and structures under quasi-static and cyclic loading conditions with account for the fields of various physical nature; and experimental and theoretical approach to studying the dynamics and failure of materials subjected to high-speed loading.







Prof. Dr Anatoliy Bragov-doctor of Technical Sciences, professor, and head of the laboratory of the Research Institute for Mechanics of National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod-is one of the representatives of the scientific school of strength of materials, founded by Professor A.G. Ugodchikov (1920-2007). He is a recognized specialist in the field of dynamic strength of materials and structural elements, experimental mechanics of deformable solids and physics of fast processes. The scientific activity of him for more than 40 years is inextricably linked with the development and creation of the latest experimental methods and studies of the processes of high-speed deformation and destruction of materials of various physical nature (metals and alloys, nanomaterials, polymers and composites, ceramics, wood, soils, rocks, etc.) under intense impacts of the microsecond range.
