27.02.2026 2nd Mechanics Day
Event: 2nd Symposium “Day of Mechanics” organized by the Serbian Society of Mechanics and Faculty of Engineering
Date: 27.02.2026.
Project leader Professor Miroslav Živković gave an introductory lecture on the Day of Mechanics held at the Faculty of Engineering, Kragujevac, entitled “Numerical methods for structural strength analysis in the PAK software.” After a brief review of the history of PAK and an overview of the most important modules with examples of practical applications, Professor Živković presented to the attendees the development of the new PAK-DAM program within the PROMINENT project.
After Professor Živković presentation, the following young researchers from Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, and Kragujevac showcased their work:
• Nikola Despenić (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Niš): Mathematical modeling of free oscillations of functionally gradient nanostructures
• Lidija Rehlicki Lukešević (Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad): On the stability of rods on an elastic substrate
• Teodor Vrećica (Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade): Dispersion relations of water waves – properties and applications
• Vukašin Slavković (Faculty of Engineering Sciences, Kragujevac): Material modeling in the field of 4D printing
Over 40 guests had great experience, valuable discussions, and made new connections with the PROMINENT project team.
