Application of nonsmooth mathematical analysis in studying of mechanical systems movement and acquiring optimal solutions.

Ability to analyse system with unilateral limit movement, in the presence of regular and impact force, with or without dry friction.

Elements of nonsmoothe mathematical analysis: general and multivalue functions. Unilateral functions. Differential equations. Differential inclusions. Complementar formulations. Systems with unilateral limitations. Variational principles and unilateral limitations. Collision of two or more bodies. Moor`s process. Stability of nonsmooth dynamic systems with unilateral limitations. Quazidifferential functions and sets. Quazidifferential optimization. Algorithms of nonsmooth optimization. Application in robotics in theory of oscillation and economy.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
