MODERN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS AND MEANS OF EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS. PART 2

The article considers a number of new directions in the development of methods and means of experimental mechanics. They are: the unification of test and calculation methods; the development of equipment and test methods in extreme conditions; the widespread use of acoustic emission methods and video recording during testing; the creation and development of equipment and methods for complex testing (for example, wear-fatigue) of materials and products. The achievements of Belarusian scientists are also noted in the field of experimental mechanics of contact interaction, including: an adhesiometer for measuring the molecular interaction of technical surfaces; a millitribometer for measuring friction forces under loads which are characteristic of a precision contact; an onboard tribometer for testing materials for friction and wear in extreme conditions of the action of space factors.
