SMART MECHANICS — A NEW DIRECTION IN MODERN MECHANICS

The article considers a new direction in modern mechanics, which our collaborative research group is actively developing — it is “Smart Mechanics” or “Development of smart (intelligent in future) systems for modeling and engineering calculations in mechanics”. The scope questions concerning development of modern highly effective “smart” systems and algorithms of mechanical-mathematical modeling and computer simulation of various physical processes and phenomena are discussed. Notions of “Smart mechanics” and “Smart (Intelligent in future) modeling systems in mechanics” are introduced. The main strategic directions for building new type of modeling systems (new class of systems of computer modeling and engineering calculations) are given. Difference between artificial intelligence technologies and traditional mathematical modeling in the current period of technology development is discussed. The characteristic of the specific application areas of smart systems for modeling and engineering calculations in mechanics is given.
