Description: 
Dnepropetrovsk State University, established in 1918, had an 
enrollment of about 5,000 students during the 1960-1961 school year. The 
University grants Candidate’s and Doctor’s Degrees. 
Among the research studies in metals and metal physics at the 
University have been investigations of martensitic transformation in steel, 
crystallization of eutectic alloys, recrystallization kinetics of aluminum 
and copper, structure of deformed alloys, plastic deformation of Fe-Cr 
alloys, and surface graphitization of alloys. Stresses in plates and shells 
have been an area of considerable interest at the University, along with 
studies of strength of thin-wall constructions. Ferrites, ferroelectric 
ceramic materials, and dielectric materials have received considerable 
study. Mathematical studies include trigonometric polynomials and approx- 
imation of functions. Chemical researchers at the university have covered 
areas such as insecticides, rare-earth elements, silver chloride, and 
corrosion of steel. Other areas of study at the University are X-ray 
irradiation of polymers, potential scattering, ionized gas between 
electrodes, theories of gravitation, and acetylene-air flames.
