процессы и так \"протекают\", так что, imho, \"протекание\" можно лёгко опустить

Explanation:
Sepcifics of physcial processes occurring in YYY should be studied because XXX are (is?) widely used in modern technology.

Widespread use of laminated materials ...


Explanation:
Widespread use of laminated materials in modern engineering applications is the basis for the need to study the properties of physical processes that occur within items constructed from these materials.

or \"...structures built from these materials\" depending on the size of things being talked about.

OR

Widespread use of laminated materials in modern engineering applications has created the nead for research on the characteristics of physical processes that occur within structures built from these materials\"


Sorry these variants seem kind of long-winded, but not as long as what I understand the author to be saying:

\"we have used laminated matererials in all these applications (because they seem to work) so now we need to study how things we jave built seem to work, how they wear, what the holographic images of the strucures under load look like...who know what all kinds of physical processes are meant
