Description: 
The Institute is one of the largest institutions of higher learning 
in the Ukraine. Its interests lie largely in ship-structure research. 
Applied theory of elasticity, plate and hull design, bending of three-layer 
cylindrical shells, mechanical calculation of intermediate beams, the effect 
of using high-strength steel in ship building, longitudinal strength of tanks, 
construction and calculation of the stability of parts of marine engines 
and application of the theory of simulitude to the investigation of marine 
multiple-expansion steam engines, calculation of strength of rotating discs 
(taking into account thermal stresses), stress analysis of rotating discs, 
calculation of the roll of ships, strength of shells reinforced by transverse 
longitudinal ribs, contact fatigue of ship drive gears, dynamic compression 
of metals, impressions of conical and wedge-shaped punches in soft metal, 
penetration of dynamic deflectors with elastic-plastic deformation, plastic 
compression of cones (alloy steel, carbon steel, and nonferrous metals), and 
sliding friction of cast iron all have been the subject of research at the 
Institute. 
In the field of metallurgy, the Institute has made studies of 
carburizing in an organic liquid media, case carburizing by a glow-discharge 
method, carburizing by heating in an electrolyte (electrolytic heating), 
residual stresses in hardening of cast iron, graphitization of cast iron, 
electrical resistance of cast iron at elevated temperatures, radiographic 
investigation of the thermal expansion of Ni-Cr alloys, characteristic 
features of electrical-resistance alloys, electrical resistance of Ni-Cr-Al 
alloys, the problem of the "K state" in Ni-Cr alloys, and the diffusion of 
antimony in iron and steel.
