Description: 
The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics was established 
in 1957 with two departments--Material Strength and Machine Science, and 
Aerodynamics. Organized to elaborate the problems of material strength in 
machine building and mining, the Institute is also concerned with the 
creation of new energy sources (such as a magnetohydrodynamic generator for 
the direct conversion of heat energy to electrical energy), theoretical 
studies of gas motion at very high temperatures, and mechanics of the 
earth's crust. It has installations for testing the interaction of bodies 
with gas currents at super-high speeds and temperatures.
