International work by Professor T.V. Shmatko
A professor in the Department of Advanced Mathematics at NTU “KhPI” was the only Ukrainian researcher to attend the prestigious 22nd European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22), which took place in Oslo, the capital of Norway, from June 21 to 25, 2026.
Tetyana Valentynivna Shmatko, a professor in the Department of Higher Mathematics, participated in person at the 22nd International Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22) in Oslo, Norway, on June 21–25, 2026, where she was the sole representative from Ukraine. More than 1,700 participants from North and South America, Asia, and Europe discussed scientific issues related to sustainable development, breakthrough technologies, and new applications of modern materials in various sectors of the civil and defense industries. Presentations covered cutting-edge research in advanced modeling, composite mechanics, digital innovations and artificial intelligence-based technologies, process monitoring and quality control, innovative methods for using functional materials, and more.
ECCM22 is organized by the Laboratory for Advanced and Sustainable Engineering Materials (ASEMlab) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). As Europe’s leading conference on composite materials and structures, ECCM serves as a premier platform for advancing research, fostering innovation, and strengthening collaboration between academia and industry.
Tetyana Shmatko presented a paper titled “Investigation of sandwich plates with hexagonal auxetic structure using the R-functions theory.” She provided a detailed account of the use of the RFM method to analyze plates and thin shells made of modern metamaterials. It is worth noting that participation in the ECCM22 conference was made possible by Tetiana Shmatko’s research work on the NATO international project G6176, “Composite Metamaterials for Aerospace Structures – CoMetA,” which is being implemented as part of the “Science for Peace and Security” (SPS) program.
