Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, ITAM SB RAS ({{langx|ru|Институт теоретической и прикладной механики имени С. А. Христиановича СО РАН}}) is a research institute in Akademgorodok of Novosibirsk, Russia. It was founded in 1957.
History
The institute was founded by Sergey Khristianovich in 1957, he also became its first director.[http://www.prometeus.nsc.ru/science/schools/xristian/about/essay.ssi Khristianovich Sergey Alekseyevich. SPSTL SB RAS.] In 1957, the institute was located within the territory of SibNIA, where it was engaged in the creation of a supersonic wind tunnel until 1960.[https://sibnia.ru/institut/news/detail.php?IBLOCK_ID=4&ID=208 Anniversary of ITAM SB RAS. Official website of SibNIA.]
In 1991, the International Center for Aerophysical Research (ICAR) was established at the institute.[http://www.sbras.info/photo/institut-aerodinamicheskikh-trub Wind Tunnel Institute. Nauka v Sibiri.] June 4, 2012. In 1997, the institute became a member of the International Supersonic Tunnel Association (STAI).[http://fsu-stai.org/stai_officers.html Supersonic Tunnel Association.]
In 2005, the institute was named after Sergey Khristianovich.[https://elementy.ru/nauchno-populyarnaya_biblioteka/435309/Akademik_Khristianovich_Uchenyy_Inzhener_Chelovek Academician Christianovich: Scientist, Engineer, Person. Elementy.ru]
As of 2023, three scientists at the institute had been arrested on suspicion of treason of sharing hypersonic technology.[https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/05/16/3-russian-hypersonic-missile-scientists-jailed-for-treasoncolleagues-say-a81155 Moscow Times]
Scientific activity
The main directions of scientific research are physical-chemical mechanics, aerogasdynamics, mathematical modeling in mechanics, mechanics of rigid body, deformations, and destructions.[http://www.sbras.ru/ru/organization/2347 ITAM SB RAS. Official website of SB RAS.]
