Description: 
The work at this institute has two main emphases: (1) mechanics, 
and (2) automation, telemechanics, and measuring techniques. In the former 
eategory is research work on brittle fracture of plates, thermodynamics of 
solid solutions, corrosion, fatigue of steel, elastic-plastic deformation 
under torsion, thermal stress in shells, propagation of cracks during 
deformation, linear dislocation effects on tensile strength, thermal 
diffusion, influence of sulfurization on fatigue strength, embrittlement in 
deformed steel, effect of molten tin on fatigue strength of steel, and role 
of physical-chemical processes in surface layers of steel. In the second 
category, studies have been made of electronic prospecting equipment, a 
transistorized volt meter, indicator-type computers, a compensator, circuits 
having semiconductor devices, magneto modulation for determination of 
magnetization of rock samples, automatic thread inspection, and a telemetering 
system. 
A Nauchnyye Zapiski is published in two series: Automation and 
Measuring Techniques and Machine Sciences, and the Candidate's Degree is 
conferred. The Institute also offers courses in automation and automatic 
control, remote control, theoretical principles of electrical engineering, 
mechanics, and strength of materials.
