O. Shymanovskyi is a renowned scientist in the field of structural mechanics, strength, and stability of structures. He has made a significant contribution to the development of the theory of strength and stability of nonlinear spatial large-span suspension and cable-stayed systems within and beyond the elastic limits of the material. He obtained fundamental scientific results in determining the performance characteristics of suspension systems during the development of plastic deformations, establishing the nature and patterns of their behaviour during unloading, and investigating the influence of various factors on the strength and stability of structures. He has significantly contributed to the development of methods for regulating the stress-strain state of suspension and cable-stayed systems, formulated principles for improving existing structural solutions, and was the first in global engineering practice to propose new highly efficient types of such systems.
