Physical Principles of Adaptation of Materials and Structures to Service Conditions

Its point is simple: technical progress makes us use different materials and technologies long before we begin to understand their physical nature. This paradox is most pronounced in industries where practice develops faster than the corresponding science. Such science grows on the basis of advanced technologies and does not lead the development serving as a descriptor of the empirical results. Only a conceptually new nontraditional approach to the problem of reliability and durability allows change in this disproportionality in the development.
