Andrey Maksimov, Sergey Tyotushkin and Andrey Rudskoy
Sergey Tyotushkin, Assistant at the SPbGASU Department of Construction Mechanics, has won the 2025 St Petersburg Government Prize in Science and Education. The competition was held by the Committee on Science and Higher Education as part of the "Knowledge Economy in St Petersburg" program.
The awards ceremony took place on 3 December at Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University. The event was attended by Andrey Maksimov, Chairman of the Committee on Science and Higher Education, and Andrey Rudskoy, Rector of SPbPU.
For the competition Sergey Tyotushkin submitted a textbook on structural mechanics in English, "Methods of the oscillation theory. Problems of structures' dynamics: study tutorial," co-authored by his supervisor, Nadezhda Ostrovskaya, PhD of Engineering Sciences, Associate Professor at the Department of Construction Mechanics.
The relevance of this textbook is driven by the increasing number of international students studying at SPbGASU. This textbook is unique to the department and represents a convenient and in-demand tool for teaching construction engineering students in English.
This textbook presents the fundamental methods for studying the vibration equations of dynamic systems and demonstrates their application to structural dynamics problems. Methods for formulating vibration equations are discussed, including the Lagrange method, the kinetostatic method, and the finite element method. Solutions are provided for systems with one degree of freedom, as well as with a finite and infinite number of degrees of freedom. Issues of free and forced vibrations, the fundamentals of stochastic analysis, examples of steady-state solutions, and numerical methods for calculating nonlinear problems are covered.
The textbook is intended for international students studying in the fields of Industrial and Civil Engineering and Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures, as well as for master's and postgraduate students in technical specialties.
Our congratulations to Sergey Tyotushkin and the Department staff on this high assessment of their work and wishes of continued professional success!
