Prof. Zhuravkov is the science leader of research laboratory of Applied Mechanics. He has more than 450 scientific works, including 15 monographs, 17 textbooks, courses of lectures; 15 brochures, scientific publications; more than 250 scientific articles and publications in the reviewed editions, and more than 130 publications in English-language editions. He has prepared 3 Doctor of Science and 15 Doctors of Philosophy (candidates of sciences).





He is the science leader of a large number of International research projects and programs (fundamental and applied). Prof. Zhuravkov is a member of some editorial boards of scientific international journals and organizing regularly working conferences and symposia committees. He was a visiting professor at the Harbin University of Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology (China), Krakow Pedagogical University (Poland), Delft University of Technology (Netherlands), and Royal Institute of Technology, KTH (Sweden), and other universities.

Yongtao Lyu is currently an associate professor at the Department of Engineering Mechanics, Dalian University of Technology, China. He obtained his bachelor and master of engineering degrees (2001-2007) from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (nationally top 10), China. Then he received the EPSRC scholarship and completed his Ph.D. study (2007-2010) at Cardiff University, UK. Afterward, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2010-2013) at the Institute of Biomechanics, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany, and then as a senior research associate (2013-2015) at the Institute for in silico Medicine, the University of Sheffield, UK. Dr. Lyu's main research interests lie primarily in the mechanical behavior of biomaterials, the computational modeling of human body systems, and the bionic
