Scientific achievements

Under the guidance of academician Viktor Panin who established and developed physical mesomechanics of materials, uniting physical materials with solid mechanics at macrolevel and with physics of plastic deformation at microlevel. Within this framework, he developed new methods of computer design materials and technologies of their production.^[2] Deep mesomechanics ideas can be successfully used in the new approach to earthquake prediction where the seismic source mesostructure appears to be an intermediate term precursor.^[3]
