PREFACE TO THE COLLECTION OF ARTICLES «STRENGTH AND PLASTICITY OF MATERIALS UNDER EXTERNAL ENERGY INFLUENCES»

Abstract

This collection of articles is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Physics Department named after Professor V. M. Finkel (currently the Department of Natural Sciences named after Professor V. M. Finkel) of the Institute of Fundamental Education of the Siberian State Industrial University and its scientific school "Strength and Plasticity of Materials under External Energy Impacts". This department is a powerful scientific and pedagogical team with an original physical theme, dealing with the problems of strength and plasticity of solids. The process of formation of the team is genetically linked with the leadership of the department by Professor Viktor Moiseevich Finkel, whose name it now bears. His successors, Professor Lev Borisovich Zuev and the current head of the department, Professor Viktor Evgenievich Gromov, preserved and increased the research traditions of the department team.
