Scientific interests
editV.A. Babeshko is a specialist in the field of mechanics of a deformable solid body, applied mathematics, integral and differentiated equations, geophysics, acoustics, seismology, ecology. He is one of the authors who discovered a new physical phenomenon: the existence of high-frequency resonance in semi-bounded environments with heterogeneities. The main results of studies of this phenomenon are widely used in aviation, engineering, seismology and ecology. These methods are indispensable in assessing the strength of engineering structures and structures. V. A. Babeshko directs research on the seismic safety of cities that are located at the junction of geophysics and mechanics and are made with the support of scientists from other countries, in particular from the United States.
