Scientific achievements
- Development of methods of discrete mechanics and their application to solving problems of computer-aided design of new materials
- Investigation of the laws of deformation and fracture of brittle materials
- Regularities in the formation of dynamic defects and their role in the process of deformation and fracture of heterogeneous materials and structures
- Study of nonlinear effects in solids under high-velocity impact
- Study of laws governing the behavior of geological media under dynamic effects
He is the author of a new method of computer modeling, which is widely used to solve fundamental and practically important problems of materials interaction. In the last decade, the scientific interests of Sergey Psakhie were related to the study of the interactions between hard matter and soft matter in multiphase contrasting materials, the study of the characteristics and anomalies of the behavior of a substance in a confined matter, research of dusty plasma.
S.G. Psakhie made a great contribution to the introduction of network forms of research and development in Russia. He has implemented the network format of the organization of science - integrated research plans, which allows to effectively integrate the competencies and resources of institutes, universities and companies to solve problems in areas defined by the priorities of the country's scientific and technological development. The interdepartmental project office “Perspective materials, technologies and structures” of the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations of Russia and the State Corporation for Space Activities “Roscosmos”, the basic organizations of which are the ISPMS SB RAS and Rocket and Space Corporation Energi, was created as a pilot interdepartmental project within the framework of the Integrated Plan for Basic Research materials with a multi-level hierarchical structure for new technologies and robust structures.
