2. Control Problems Institute in Moscow.
Located at 65 Profsouznaia (aya) st., U-342, Moscow, GSP-7, 117806.
Tel. 334-89-20, teletype: 417470 IATAN; fax: 420-20-16.
Retrospect: Established in 1939. Subordinate to the Ministry of Industry of the Russian
Federation although the Academy guides its scientific research methodology. The
institute studies automation, systems analysis, and computer modeling. The
Control Problems Institute in 1980 listed no laboratories and only five scientists in
its central office. Because of the problems of scientific instrumentation needs in
Russia, this institute is destined to grow.
Structure and Scientific Personnel: Director Prangishvili, Iverii V., D. Tech. S.,
August '87; Deputy Directors: Kortnev, Anatoli, since '76; Medvedev, Vladimir
D., since '78; and Raspopov, Boris P., August '88. This research center is
organized in four divisions with 13 laboratories.
The Chemical Division has four laboratories:
1. the Heterogeneous Systems Laboratory,
2. the Mechanics of Anomalous Fluids Laboratory,
3. the Polymer Mechanics Laboratory, and
4. theoretical Elasticity Laboratory.
The Mathematics Division--one laboratory
The Physical Mechanics Division has four laboratories:
1. the Classical Mechanics Laboratory,
2. the Friction and Wear Laboratory,
3. the Optimal Control of Motion Laboratory, and
4. the Random Vibrations in Nonlinear Systems Laboratory.
The Physics and Gas Dynamics Division supervises the work of four laboratories:
1. the Combustion Instability Laboratory,
2. the Mechanical Action of Laser Beams Laboratory,
