The team of the Faculty of Civil Engineering: Artem Grigoriev, Aleksandra Leonova, Anastasia Zimovets, Nadezhda Ostrovskaya and professor of the Physics and Mechanics Institute of SPbPU Artem Semenov
Two SPbGASU teams took part in the All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics with International Participation. One of them won, the other became a bronze medalist.
The Olympiad was held with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Association of Technical Universities and the Federal Educational and Methodological Association in the field of "Mechanical Engineering" at the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" of Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University (AES SPbPU). 29 teams from 14 regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan registered.
The first place was taken by the team of the SPbGASU Faculty of Civil Engineering. It included Artem Grigoriev, Vladislav Laptev, Anastasia Zimovets and Aleksandra Leonova. The supervisor was Associate Professor at the Department of Construction Mechanics Nadezhda Ostrovskaya.
The team of the Faculty of Automobile and Road Building took third place. It consisted of Ilya Zhdanov, Maksim Golubovich, Daniil Agapov and Nikita Gladkov. The supervisor was Alena Kolomeets, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Land Transport and Technological Machines.
In the individual competition, third place went to Artem Grigoriev.
As Nadezhda Ostrovskaya explained, the Olympiad was held from 1999 to 2020, and in 2025 it was resumed at the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU (AES). The goals of the Olympiad are to revive the platform for interaction between gifted and talented students and their mentors in the field of applied mechanics, to introduce students to real enterprises of high-tech industries and Russian engineering software.
In addition to the main program, where students were asked to solve six problems - three on theoretical mechanics and three on the strength of materials, all days were filled with interesting events. On the first day, an engineering competition for students took place, on the second day - excursions to the museum and laboratories of the St Petersburg Polytechnic University, as well as to the enterprises of industrial partners. On the third day, master classes were held on the use of domestic software for various engineering purposes.
Artem Grigoryev shared his impressions: "The tasks covered all sections of strength of materials and theoretical mechanics. To solve them, I had to recall many tasks completed during preparation - typical and advanced. I really liked that each task had a "key", after finding which the task became much easier. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the organizers for the interesting program, as well as appreciation to my teachers Anna Olegovna Yulina and Nadezhda Vladimirovna Ostrovskaya, who helped me prepare, conducted interesting classes and thus inspired me to win."
“The high results of our students can be called a triumph of the SPbGASU engineering school, proof of the excellent training of our specialists in such fundamental disciplines as theoretical mechanics and strength of materials,” noted Nadezhda Ostrovskaya.
