Tendencies of the Development of Mechanics of Machines and Mechanisms – 2019: World Trends and Outputs of the 15th IFToMM World Congress
Abstract
The paper is a journal version of the plenary report at the VIII Belarusian Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics “Mechanics-2019”, which was held in Minsk, Belarus, on September 18–20, 2019. The world challenges are described: aging of the population, ecological and energy problems. Technological advances smooth out these problems to a certain extent. One of the main factors in solving global problems is digitalization and the Industry 4.0 initiative, closely related to it. In this initiative, the model approach and the digital twin that are largely developed in mechanics play a central role. The main approaches to the creation of digital twins are highlighted and characterized. On the example of gears and transmissions, the features of the approach to the formation of digital twins for non-standard technically complicated items are shown. Information is given on IFToMM — the most influential world public organization in the field of technical sciences, Proceedings of the IFToMM-2019 Congress, held in Krakow (Poland) from June 30 to July 4, 2019, and the events of the Congress. The materials of the article contain examples and generalizations on the most modern scientific areas, allowing to get acquainted with them, first of all, to domestic specialists, to correlate with them the directions and level of your own research.
