VISITING PROFESSORS LECTURES
Prof. Aleksander Sladkowski
During the lectures, methods of solving the problems of modelling dynamics of materials, vehicles and their elements are examined. Different software packages are offered to solve these tasks: AutoCad software package is used to model the interaction of solid![](https://vilniustech.lt/images/4704/235/11/11_1/prof.jpg)
bodies; MathCad package – for solving elementary dynamics problems; Universal Mechanism (UM) software package – for solving more complex mechanical problems of vehicles; MSC.Marc package – for solving contact strength of materials problems. The series of lectures is intended to acquire engineering decision-making knowledge and abilities to solve the problems of mechanical systems using alternative software packages. To solve these tasks, a certain chain of specialized programs is used, each of which performs a certain function. The packages discussed in this series of lectures are simpler and cheaper compared to the largest manufacturers (SolidWorks, SolidEdge , Catia , AutoCad ) Inventor, etc.) CAD/CAM/CAE software packages. The lecture cycle consists of a theoretical part (10 h) and an explanation of practical tasks (10 h). Classes are held in English.

Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Schmitt
According to the statistics in Lithuania, the number of registered traffic accidents decreased almost 6.5 times (9.8 in 1980 and 1.5 in 2013), however the number of injured remained almost the same – for a 100 thousand people there was 137.6 injured in 1980 and 134.6 in 2013 (www.lakd.lt). Injuries, related to traffic accidents can be of different outcomes – from mild to severe, when person becomes disabled permanently. Active person can sustain injuries during sport activities or in work placement. Trauma biomechanics is important scientific field, which explores biomechanics of various injuries, i.e. what are trauma mechanisms and causes. This knowledge is important for design of safe transportation means, developing and designing safe training equipment and rehabilitation devices, assistive technologies for disabled. Research in trauma biomechanics requires broad knowledge and understanding in biomechanics, mechanics and application of different technologies (computer simulation and experiments). Students will understand importance of various technologies and approaches, will obtain better understanding of general biomechanics principles and their application.![](https://vilniustech.lt/images/4369/218/10/10_1/940x547_2.jpg)
Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Schmitt is head of the Academic-Practice-Partnership between University Hospital Bern and the Department of Health at Bern University of Applied Sciences. Interprofessional research in health sciences and the translating science into clinical practice are the key elements of this partnership. Kai-Uwe Schmitt is also affiliated with the Department of Health Science and Technology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and member of the executive board at AGU Zurich (Working Group on Accident Mechanics). Trauma biomechanics in traffic and sports are the focus of his research and teaching activities. Additional functions include being a council member of the International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) and member of the advisory board on traffic safety at the Swiss Federal Road Office.

Vilius Portapas
In 2013, Vilius Portapas obtained a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering in Aircraft Piloting studies and is an alumnus of VILNIUS TECH AGAI. He deepened his scientific knowledge at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Belgium focusing on aeronautics and aerospace, and in 2018 he defended his dissertation on the handling qualities of high aspect ratio wing aircraft at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom and was awarded with a doctorate degree.![](https://vilniustech.lt/images/4381/219/10/14_1/Vilius Portapas.jpg)
Continuing his research career at universities such as the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (Belgium), the University of Bristol, the University of Cranfield, the University of the West of England, and the University of Nottingham (UK), it gave lecturer the opportunity to supervise bachelor's and master's theses and doctoral dissertations, to publish four scientific articles and one chapter of the book, to present research at conferences in the UK, USA and Lithuania, etc.
The visit of this lecturer will give students the opportunity to get acquainted with the latest aviation trends, innovative, and interactive teaching methods. In addition, these lectures will directly influence the formation of the identity of students in the aviation field. Such cooperations and close ties with VILNIUS TECH AGAI alumni, who have direct contact with industry and research, bring to the study process a broader understanding for both the students and the academic community about the importance of education in the context of career opportunities and internationalization at the interinstitutional level.
