Locomotives and locomotive economy

The “Locomotives and Locomotive Equipment” chair is created on the basis of two chairs: “Steam Locomotives” and “Repair plants”. The chairs “Steam Locomotives” and “Repair Plants” were organized in 1931 simultaneously with the institute (SAZIIT). The first head of the “Steam Locomotives” chair was a Ph.D. AA Philippov, who in 1934 was replaced by a well-known steam railwayman V.I. Kolosovsky. In 1936 the chair “Steam Locomotives” was headed by Ph.D., associate Professor M.G. Beskrovny, who headed the chair until 1966.

The first head of the “Repair Plants” chair was Professor A.F. Troitsky (from 1931 to 1949) who was replaced by PhD, assotiate Professor D. Ya. Perelman (1949-1972).

In 1935 the “Locomotives” chair was divided and the “Heating engineering” chair was formed, which was headed by PhD A.M. Strusevich till 1960. During these years it was headed by PhD Assoc. Prof. AM Sukhanov (1960-1969), Senior Assistant L.F. Karpukhina (1969-1970), Assoc. Prof. G.N. Strokov (1970-1977), Assoc. Prof. P.A. Fedotov (1977-1980), Assoc. Prof. E.N. Ryzhov (1980-1988).

During the Second World War, at the “Steam locomotives” chair prominent scientists in the field of steam locomotives: prof. EN Mokritsky, prof. NN Struzhenov, prof. I.M. Zolotukhin were working.

In 1957 “Steam locomotives” chair was renamed into the “Rolling stock” and the “Repair plants” chair into the “Maintenance and repair of locomotives.”

The “Rolling stock” chair was headed by prof. P.C. Kruger from 1957 to1962, from 1962 to 1966. Assoc. VN Nikitin, Assoc. GN String (1966-1970), Since1970 the department was headed by prof. A.D. Glushchenko, and after his election an academician in 1984 by the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR the chair was headed by Assoc. Prof. VN Kiselev until 1994.

The “Maintenance and repair of locomotives” chair was headed by: NK Babayev (1972-1983) B.Sh. Ahmedov (1989-1998).

In 1995 both chairs were united into one under the name “Locomotives and electric transport” which was headed by Assoc.Prof. B.Sh. Akhmedov until 1998.

In 1999 the chair was called “Locomotives”, which was headed by Assoc. Prof. BT Faiziev until 2009.

In 1988, the “Heating engineering” chair was included in of the “Locomotives” chair.

From 2009 to 2010 the “Locomotives” was headed by Assoc. Prof. A.T. Dzhanikulov.

Among the teachers of the chair who did much for its development were Assoc. Prof.: B.I. Vilkevich GI Markovin, S.D. Kucuk, D.V. Scribes, A.V. Tolkachev, G.N. Mukhitdinov, B.C. Alimbaev, V.A. Arrests B.Sh. Ahmedov K.T. Tursunov, A.I. Rempel, V.P. Wigeon, E.S. Ushakov, Y.D. Tadjiev, H.I. Nurhodzhaev, I.P. Gordeev, G.N. Habibiev,  S.A. Arustamian.

At present most of the scientific and pedagogical work at the chair is provided by the oldest professors, associate professors B.T. Faiziev, O.S. Ablyalimov.

Staff of the chair pays much attention to the strengthening of material base.   Diesel locomotives laboratory, technology repair of locomotives laboratory, the laboratory for the study of heating engineering disciplines were established.

Under the guidance of Prof. B.I. Vilkevich and Assoc. Prof. A.D. Alimbaev laboratories of electric equipment and power transmission of diesel locomotives were created.

Active participation in the creation of the laboratory “Structure and dynamics of the locomotives’ was taken by Assoc. Prof. B.T. Faiziev and senior teachers Abdullayev and Zhulenёv N.V.

Associate Professor Arustamian S.A. established laboratory of automation and production processes automation, locomotives traffic safety classroom.

Active participation in the creation of the chair laboratories was taken by heads of laboratories, engineers G.V.Valiev, V.V. Gritsishin, G.S. Androsov, A.S. Zokirov, Kadyrov A.L.

In 1965 at the “Maintenance and repair of locomotives” chair there was created industrial research laboratory to improve the durability of the parts and components of diesel locomotives (O’NIL), which is now called RL to improve the reliability and technical diagnostics of locomotives.

During this  period, the heads of the laboratories were N.K.Babaev, V.N. Postnov, H.I. Nurhodzhaev, A.N. Rempel, G.A. Lukaev, V.A. Arrestov, and since 1988 G.N. Ivanov.

The veterans of our laboratory are the senior scientific reearchers: Ivanov G.N, Lukayev G.A, Gnedilov V.Y, Katanov M.M, Grishantsev Y.P,Kostyunchenko V.G,Shakirov R.I,Milshtein L.A,Kurbanov Y.K,Ramonov V.I,Drinkin V.F,Morskaya N.A, Julenev N.V, scientific collaborators Faysikhodjayeva M.L,Kalinichenko R.A,Kulakhmedov B.T.

For the period of the chair existence there were carried out lots of scientific researches, mainly in the railway sphere according to the tasks of the Main department of locomotive equipment of SRWM, RW VNIIT, the Kharkov  factory named after Malishev, CO “Electromachine”, SKBT in Penza ,The locomotive building  factory in Lugansk, The Central Asia  railways board, the locomotive depots of Russian Federation, and nowadays on the tasks of the Join-stock Company (JC) “Uzbekistan-railways” and the locomotives maintenance department.

The most important scientific research projects were the projects on the reliability  of diesels 10D100 and their assembly unit maintenance as well as their crank shafts and their insets 10D100,cylindrical bushes, pistons, turbo compressors TK-34H,experimental and serial details and units of fuel apparatus; on the increasing of reliability of locomotive traction electric engines of diesel locomotives TE-10; on designing means and methods of the whole unit technical diagnostics of diesel locomotives, on the complex mechanization and automation of equipment devices of the locomotives; on the increasing of 2TEL locomotives’  efficiency; on the working out of differential standard of fuel consumption by locomotives, on the research of dynamics and working out of diagnostic devices for wheel-engine blocks,  on the research of dynamics and search of reserves of increasing of reliability of transport reliability of transport and agricultural machines, on the use of natural gas in the branches of the railway transport and use of secondary power-resources, on the improvement of the new locomotives diesel-generators working data and on the research of the power plants with thermal delivery by radiation.

In the recent years the chair and laboratory are carrying out the scientific research work on “Fuel and oil filters for delicate cleaning design” which is supervised by senior scientific employee G. N.Ivanov; G.A.Lucaev supervises “Introduction of modern technologies in the locomotives repair”.

According to the plans of “Uzjeldorremmash” SRW (scientific research work) and TIRE and modernization programme of renewing locomotives park of “Uzbekistan temiryollari” company in the “Locomotives and Locomotives equipment” there arranged scientific research work on “The elaboration and approval of the  technological project of capital repair of the locomotive and prolongation of its service ”, supervisor of the project is PhD of technical sciences Assoc. Professor  B.T.Fayziyev.

Under leadership of Professor A.D.Glushenko 28 assistants have defended their theses, they are B.U.Kiselyev (now Prof  of MRII), B.T.Fayzitev, M.A. Ibragimov, employees of SRL  “Dynamics  and strength of machines” : M.F.
