Scientists of the department received a grant to support scientific research in the field of analysis of the dynamic behavior of complex elements of aerospace structures made of metamaterials. Metamaterials are complex multi-layer structural elements that have useful qualities from the point of view of ensuring structural requirements in aviation and rocket technology.

The project is financed by the NATO Program “Science for Peace and Security”, support for young scientists, supply of scientific equipment to the department and business trips are provided. The scientific direction of the project is being worked by Ph.D. Dmytro Breslavsky, Ph.D. Volodymyr Mietielov, Ph.D. Alyona Senko, graduate students Maria Borodin and Pavlo Palamarchuk.

As part of the research plan, from September 16 to 20, 2024, the Head of the Department, Professor Breslavsky, visited the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Within the framework of the meetings with professors Francesco Pellicano and Antonio Zippo, other scientists the obtained experimental and numerical results were discussed as well further steps in the project cooperation were planned.
