Description: 
This institute, formerly in the Academy of Sciences, U.S.S.R., is 
the foremost Soviet research institute in the theory of machines. The 
Institute consists of four sections, which work in: 
Theory of machines 
Elasticity and stress analysis 
Friction and lubrication 
Technology of automatic machines.

Major research efforts have been in the stability of shells, high- 
temperature creep of metals, metal strength at high and low temperatures, 
plasticity of metals, and machine design (including kinematics, dynamics 
and vibration, hydraulics and pneumatics, and theory of electromechanical 
machines). Other areas of endeavor include research on the crystallization 
of metals, computer-controlled machines, ultrasonic cutting of diamonds, 
vacuum welding at high temperatures, and metal forming, and development 
of a variety of testing machines and friction materials. 
The research of the staff is published frequently in a Trudy 
entitled Trenie i Iznos v Mashinakh (Friction and Wear in Machines).
