The new results in the theory of solid body breaking, including the rocks, connection of macro- and microscopic properties of materials with inclusions, effect of geometry of inclusions and fractures on the elastic properties of materials were discussed during the lecture.
Over 50 young scientists representing the entire range of the modern complex of science and technology of the country were present - representatives of universities and academic institutes, employees of research departments of the large companies.
The lecture was met with the great interest in the attendees.
