The Subdepartment of Theory of Stabilityand Mechanics of Control Systems (TSMCS)

Established: in 1971 by Prof. V.V. Rumyantsev,Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, now Adviser of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

There are 6 scientists working in TSMCS:

- Dr. D.L. Abrarov, Researcher

- Dr. A.A. Burov, Senior Researcher

- Dr. I.F. Kozhevnikov, Junior Researcher

- Dr. V.S. Sergeev, Leading Researcher

- Dr. S.Ya. Stepanov, Head of Department of Mechanics

- Dr. A.S. Sumbatov, Senior Researcher

- development of general methods of Analytical Mechanics, Theory ofstability and Stabilization of Motion,

- development of numerical methods of Theory of Stability of Motion,

- application of analytical and numerical methods to concrete problemspossessing theoretical and applied value.

Within a frame of Teaching and Methodology:

- scientific supervision of students, graduate and doctoral studentsof CCRAS,

- lecturing and scientific supervision of students and graduate studentsfrom Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow State Academy of Aviation,Moscow State Academy of Automatic Devices, etc.,

- preparation and publication of books, methodological collections ofpapers and textbooks.

Organizing work:

- organisation of International and National Symposiums, Colloquiums andSchools,

- participation in publication of

• PMM (Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics) ,
• Bulletin of Moscow State University, Ser.1. Mathematics, Mechanics,
• Mechanics of Solids
• Regular and Chaotic Dynamics

and publication of collections of papers "Problems of Investigationson Stability and Stabilization of Motion",

- participation in work of Specialized and Expert Councils.

The sector of stability theory and control system mechanics works on wise research in the framework of grant heading Scientific Schools N 2000.2003.1 (coordinator V.V.Rumyantsev). Many scientists from other institutes take part in the investigations of this grant. One of the main branches of these researches is connected with reversible systems. The leading specialist in this area is professor V.N.Tkhai. He works in collaboration with many young scientists. In particular one can point on the paper ” Periodic motions of the mechanical system with one degree of freedom ” published in 1999 in Collection “The problems of stability and stabilization of motion” which is issued in Sector yearly. The English translation of this paper one can find HERE.
