The Scientific and Educational Centre of Shipbuilding, Maritime Infrastructure and Equipment conducted experiments on tensile testing machines for school pupils
Summer is not just about relaxation but also about preparing for further education. The 10th-year class from Municipal Autonomous Educational Institution Secondary School No. 31 and two 10th-year classes from Kaliningrad Maritime Lyceum attended the summer technical school run by the Institute of Marine Technologies, Power Engineering and Construction at the Scientific and Educational Centre of Shipbuilding, Maritime Infrastructure and Equipment.
A. A. Mushenkov, a staff member of the Scientific and Educational Centre of Shipbuilding, Maritime Infrastructure and Equipment, conducted experiments on tensile testing machines (TTM) for the school pupils:
on TTM-100, the breaking of a 16-gauge chain was demonstrated;
on TTM-20, a study was carried out to determine the influence of the anisotropic properties of wood on compression in the horizontal and vertical directions of the fibres, as well as a comparison of the strength of steel and aluminium under external loads.
The schoolchildren were then shown the ship model basin, where ship models are tested under various conditions approximating real-life situations. The schoolchildren then saw the laboratory, where researchers investigate the influence of various ship design characteristics on operational performance.
A. S. Arienchuk, a design engineer at the Scientific and Educational Centre of Shipbuilding, Maritime Infrastructure and Equipment, told the pupils about the Shipbuilding, Ocean Engineering, System Engineering of Marine Infrastructure Facilities training direction. The pupils also visited the laboratories where shipbuilding students carry out their work.
During the tour, KSTU guests asked many questions. The school pupils learnt a great deal about the study programmes offered by the Scientific and Educational Centre of Shipbuilding, Maritime Infrastructure and Equipment, and some are even considering applying for the proposed degree programmes.
10th-graders from Municipal Autonomous Educational Institution Grammar School No. 22 will also attend the summer technical school at the Scientific and Educational Centre of Shipbuilding, Maritime Infrastructure and Equipment of the Institute of Marine Technologies, Power Engineering and Construction.
