KSTU held a scientific section on Shipbuilding and Ship Repair
This year, as part of the student scientific and technical conference Science Days, two sections represented the shipbuilding training direction: the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair section, where bachelor’s students presented nine papers on 27 April, and the Scientific Aspects of Shipbuilding and Ship Repair section, where master’s students presented 15 papers on 28 April. Both KSTU students and visitors from Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Kerch, and Vladivostok delivered their reports.
The topics of the papers covered various aspects and areas of shipbuilding: modern technologies for electric propulsion of ships, the use of new materials, issues of hull strength and ship manoeuvrability, the specifics of repairing main engine parts, the details of calculating the labour intensity of shipbuilding, and much more. Based on the results of the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair section's work, the following reports won:
- 1st place – Nikita Dmitrievich Grin. Use of Wave and Ship Motion Energy to Generate Additional Propulsion for Ships Moving in Rough Seas. Research supervisor: Yuri Nikolaevich Mamenko, Candidate of Engineering Sciences;
- 2nd place – Elizaveta Yakovlevna Lyakina. Comparative Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of Photopolymer and Traditional Fibreglass Composites. Research supervisor: Senior Lecturer Pavel Romanovich Grishin;
- 3rd place – Ekaterina Sergeevna Kobzar, The Efficiency of Using Transportation Means for Sections at the Yantar Shipbuilding Plant. Research supervisor: Nikolai Leonidovich Velikanov, Doctor of Engineering.
Based on the results of the Scientific Aspects of Shipbuilding and Ship Repair section, the following papers won:
- 1st place – Vadim Alexandrovich Anokhin, Comparison of the Strength of Natural Elements Rigidity in Ship Hull Structures Made of Thermoplastics. Research supervisor: Dmitry Alexandrovich Romanyuta;
- 2nd place – Ilya Shchukin, On the Standardisation of the Strength of Ship Hull Structures Made of Thermoplastics. Research supervisor: Dmitry Alexandrovich Romanyuta;
- 3rd place – Andrey Dmitrievich Petrov, Specifications of Calculating the Labour Intensity in the Construction of Small-Tonnage Vessels. Research supervisor: Evgeny Andreevich Chureev, Candidate of Engineering Sciences.
We congratulate the conference winners and their research supervisors and wish them every success in the future!
We would like to express our gratitude to the invited members of the jury: A. Yu. Chepurchenko, Head of the company Chep’s Aesthetics, and A. A. Lisitsin, Head of the Hull Department at Marine Engineering Center SPb LLC.
