In 2018, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences awarded him the Order and awarded him the honorary title “Knight of Science and the Arts”.
In 2018, he was awarded the honorary title “Honored Engineer of Russia”.
In 2019, he was awarded the Gold Order of the 1st degree by the “Star of the Academy” (RANS) and the jubilee medal “160 years of the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company”.
In 2016, the Public Television of Azerbaijan made and demonstrated the full-length documentary film “Beynelxalq Sefir” (“International Ambassador”), dedicated to his life and creative activities.
Author of over 400 works, including 60 monographs and books, textbooks and teaching aids and more than 30 patents. A.Kh.Janahmadovs’ scientific papers are widely known across the countries of CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and abroad. Repeatedly speaker at international symposia, regional conferences and meetings on tribology and triboengineering, particularly in the UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Greece, Russia, Japan, Poland, Romania, Italy and other countries, where he successfully represented Azerbaijan from reputable stands. His works have been published in many well-known magazines of the world, “Engineering Science” (Russia), “Friction and Wear” (USA), “Journal of Mechanical Engineering” (Russia), “Journal of Applied Mechanics” (Romania), “Mechanics” (Poland), ” Mechanical Engineering “(Russia),” Problems of Mechanical Engineering and Automation “(Hungary),” Bulletin of the Azerbaijan Academy of Engineering “(Azerbaijan), etc.
He is the author of the first in the history of Azerbaijan’s scientific discovery, “Regularity of change wear and friction characteristics of the surface layers of metal-polymer friction pairs with their contact-impulse interaction” (Certificate № 462 dated 2013). In 2014, he became the author of the next scientific discovery, “Regularity of the implementation process of electro-thermo-mechanical friction in the working layers of metal-polymer pairs” (Certificate № 476 dated 2014).
A.Kh.Janahmadovs’ widely recognized specialist monographs are “Physical and stochastic tribomodeling” (1988), “Tribological problems in the oil and gas equipment” (1998), “The mechanics of elastomers in the oil and gas equipment” (2002), “Oil Tribology” (2003), “Synergetics and Fractals in Ecology” (2012 ), “Synergetics and Fractals in Tribology” (2014), “The fractal approach in fracture mechanics” (2015), “Synergetics and fractals in ecology” (2017, published in Germany), as well as the treatises “Philosophy of Truth” (2016), “Engineering Philosophy” (2017), “Philosophy of Engineering” (2019), etc. The famous American publishing house Springer translated and published his fundamental monograph “Synergetics and Fractals in Tribology” (2016), which later brought him an international recognition. Springer once again published another monograph by the scientist called “Fractal Approach to Tribology of Elastomers” (2018).
By his initiative and the direct participation for the first time in 1997, the university successfully implemented and currently continues to receive students on the specialty of “Triboengineering”. A.H.Janahmadov wrote several books and teaching aids for training of the national personnel in the specialty of triboengineering in the Azerbaijani language. He is the author of the books “Drilling machines and equipment” and “Applied Mechanics”, first time written in Azerbaijani language. He is the author of the textbook “Fundamentals of tribology”, “Drilling machines and equipment”, and “Applied mechanics”, written in Azeri for the first time, as well as the textbook “Aviation materials”, as well as fundamental textbooks “Aviation materials science” and “Tribology”.
His main scientific activities are tribological problems in the oil and gas equipment and their practical application in the industry. He is the author of “Thermo-mechanical theory of wear and tear.” This theory allows to reveal the physical nature of the fatigue mechanism (wear) for thermomechanical loading of friction pairs, to evaluate the impact of thermal processes on their kinetics under cooling, to predict the intensity of the material fracture of the surface and subsurface layers with a low density of dislocations, and rationally choose the friction materials and control thermal destruction on the contact surface.
Under his leadership, more than 20 Ph.D. were trained and doctoral theses were wrote for Azerbaijan and the foreign countries.
Between 1989 and 1990, he was a member of the Council for Higher Education of the USSR. And from 1992 to 1993 – the member of the State Supreme Advisory Council of Azerbaijan.
