SCIENTISTS ABOUT TRIBO-FATIGUE

 


 

 

Tribo-Fatigue... it is serious

 

 

 

Professor  Leonid .A. Sosnovskiy,

 

Doctor of Technical Sciences, 

Honored Scientist of the Republic of Belarus,
Laureate of State Prize of Ukraine,

Chief of the Tribo-Fatigue Laboratory of the Institute of Machines Mechanics 

of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, 

General Director of Scientific and Production Group TRIBOFATIGUE Ltd,

Professor of Belorussian State University of Transport,

Honored Citizen of the Town of Chechersk

 
 

 

  ... It is in Belarus that a new science – tribo-fatigue – was born and has been developing successfully    

 

Professor  Konstantin V. Frolov,

 

Vice-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences,

Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences
and the Belorussian
National Academy of Sciences,

Hero of Labour,

Doctor of Technical Sciences,

Head of  A.A. Blagonravov Institute of Machine Studies 

of the Russian Academy of Sciences

 

September, 1993

 

... From the engineering point of view tribo-fatigue is based on the study of the interaction of elements of mechanical systems. It is this interaction that governs finally the reliability both of parts and a machine as a whole. It means that we seize making calculation for each specific element but start making calculation and designs of mechanical systems

 

Professor  Michael S. Vysotsky,

 

Vice-President of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus ,

Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus ,

Doctor of Technical Sciences,

General Designer of the Industrial Group “BelautoMAZ”,

Laureate of the State Prize of Belarus and USSR 

 

September, 1993  

 

 

… A new science, tribo-fatigue… will allow critical units of machines and structures to be properly designed

 

Professor  Valery T. Troshchenko,

 

Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine ,

Doctor of Technical Sciences,

Head of the Institute for Problems of Strength

of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

 

July, 1995

 

 

…Tribo-fatigue as a science most likely will hold its place in one of the new trends, in which the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Academies of Sciences of other countries…  are engaged. This trend includes: ...  physics, chemistry, the mechanics of catastrophes, safety and protection methods. Its aim may be formulated briefly as follows: the elaboration of methods, means, criteria and ways of protection against technical accidents and catastrophes

 
 
 

Professor  Nickolai A. Makhutov

 

Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences

Doctor of Technical Sciences

Head of the Department of

 A.A. Blagonravov Institute of Machine Studies

of the Russian Academy of Sciences   

Chairman of Scientific Council of The Ministry of 

Extraordinary Situations of Russia 

 

September, 1993

 


 

...The problems of the development of aircraft-cosmic equipment, atomic energetics,  engineering facilities for conquering the Ocean, deep entrails of the Earth, the creation of artificial joints, heart-valves, different organs of a man and an animal, the industrial development of high density magnetic recording, the improvement of reliability of a new generation of machines and mechanisms, raising the efficiency, accuracy and safety are closely linked with the level of knowledge in tribology, corrosion, fatigue, with an understanding of the phenomena of the above-mentioned processes which occur simultaneously . This direction may be called tribo-corro-fatigue

 
 

Professor  Yuri N. Drosdov,

 

Doctor of Technical Sciences,

Academician of the Academy of Cosmonautics of Russia,

Head of the Department of  A.A. Blagonravov Institute of Machine Studies

of the Russian Academy of Sciences

 

June, 1995

 


 

…The development of tribo-fatigue brings about the introduction and standardization of methods of complex wear-fatigue tests

 

Valery N. Koreshkov

 

Chairman of the State Committee

on Standardization, Metrology and Certification

of the Republic of Belarus

 

September, 1993  

 


 

...The birth of a new science happens not so often nowadays, therefore it is, undoubtedly, a credit to any state… The Republic of Belarus is the cradle of tribo-fatigue. It was acknowledged by the great scientists of our time

 

Professor  Vasily I. Strazhev

 

Minister of Education and

Science of the Republic of Belarus ,

Doctor of Physics and Mathematics
