DEPARTMENT OF MACHINE DESIGN

Research work• Represented branch of mechanical engineering and operating. Branches of

specialization: construction, load capacity and reliability of mechanical power

transmission systems, assemblies and elements, computer graphics in machine

elements design. Department is carrying out scientific research relating to the following

problems:

• formation of mating conditions of spur crossed gears (constructional and machining

ones) with geometric point - like contact and gears with concave-convex profiles,

• modification of construction and model testing of gears with high transmission ratios

(harmonics and trochoid gears). Department workers developed series of prototypes of

gears and a few of them were patented.

• Besides all that subject matter we specialized and from which department workers are

also occupied in:

• selection of operating parameters of large-size rolling bearings and slide bearings and

dynamics of power transmission systems of working machines.
