Research Activities pursued at the organisation

The Institute, established in 1953, is one of the largest institutes within the Polish Academy of Sciences. Theoretical and experimental work carried out in the Institute covers several fields which contribute to basic engineering science and to modern technology. The most important areas of the Institute's expertise include theoretical and applied mechanics, theory of coupled mechanical and physical fields, experimental mechanics and acoustoelectronics. Extensive research is also conducted in several other branches of fundamental science and technology, such as: physics and thermodynamics of continua; plasma physics; stochastic dynamics; shock wave propagation in fluids and solids; the effects of laser radiation on metals; mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic effects in fracture and crack propagation; applied computer and information sciences, speech sciences; mechatronics and robotics.

In addition to fundamental research, intensive applied research is being conducted in the Institute. The Institute plays an increasingly important role in the development of new technologies, in the construction of research equipment (particularly acoustic instrumentation) an development of modern methods of measurement. The institute has made an important contribution to the training of young scientists.

Following periodicals published by the Institute are internationally recognized.

1.Archives of Mechanics, 2.Engineering Transactions, 3.Journal of Technical Physics, 4.Archives of Acoustic, 5.Advances in Mechanics, 6.Archives of Civil Engineering. 7.Computer Assisted Mechanics and Engineering Sciences
