Based on the Physics and Mathematics Institute of Saint Petersburg State University of Peter the Great, the All-Russian Conference “Science Week PhysMath” was held for the fifth time.
“Science Week PhysMech” is a national scientific conference for students, graduate students, and young researchers, organized annually by the Physics-Mechanical Institute of SPbPU. The scientific directions include experimental and computational physics, theoretical and applied mechanics, biomechanics, applied mathematics, supercomputing, materials and structural engineering.
The conference program included nine sections. The total number of presented reports was 167.
“PhysMath Science Week” traditionally unites all senior students and graduate students involved in research conducted at the institute and partner organizations. All higher education institutions and scientific laboratories of PhysMath actively participate in its conduct. During a series of meetings, especially when discussing poster presentations, heated discussions flared up. Notably, interesting questions were asked not only by teachers but also by students whose path in science is just beginning. For many of them, participation in the “Science Week” is the first experience of public speaking at a scientific conference.Sure, he will be remembered for life
,” — commented the director of the Physical-Mechanical Institute Nikolai Ivanov.
The conference program opened with the session “Biomechanics,” in which 11 oral presentations were given, dedicated to the results of research in the field of hemodynamics, strength analysis of skeletal elements, mechanical analysis of nerve fiber regeneration, and others.The reports were presented by students and graduate students of the Higher School of Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics (training direction “Applied Mathematics and Physics”), the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics (training direction “Mechanics and Mathematical Modeling”), the Higher School of Mechanics and Control Processes, and the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” (training direction “Applied Mechanics”).
Meetings of the sections “Hydroaerodynamics, Combustion and Heat Transfer” and “Applied Mathematics”, organized by VSHPMIVF, were held in the conference hall of the Resource Center for International Activities of SPbPU. More than 120 people participated in the work of the sections. In the oral session, six reports selected by the program committee were presented. In the poster session, 13 posters prepared by students and 21 posters from graduate students and young scientists were presented in two parallel subsections. More than 50 people participated in the “Applied Mathematics” section. They presented eight oral and seven poster reports.The authors of the best reports in both sections were awarded diplomas and commemorative gifts.
The team of the Higher School of Fundamental Physical Research (Physics training direction) organized three sections: “Physics of the atomic nucleus and elementary particles in fundamental and medical research”, “Physics of condensed media and nanostructures”, “Physics of plasma and space”. Many reports were prepared in collaboration with the A. F. Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Modeling, design, and material creation issues were addressed at the section “Physics of strength and plasticity of materials” (organized by VShMIFU) and “Multiscale modeling of energy transfer and conversion” (organized by VSTMI MF). Students and graduate students discussed, in particular, micro-fracture processes in monocrystals, fracture criteria in the hydrogen embrittlement problem, mechanisms of accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations, frequency properties of thermoelastic waves related to free waves, characteristics of two-phase composites, and other issues.
The conference program was concluded by a session of the section “Mechanics and Control Processes” (organized by VShMIPU). Among the speakers were students and graduate students of FizMech, IMMiT, and PIS CI. The reports were dedicated to modeling nonlinear vibrations of a 3D-printer extruder, studying the dynamics of a solid-state gyroscope, optimizing the design of a piezoelectric flow velocity sensor, and other topics.
