Dear colleagues,

I want to present my new blog
devoted to Mechanical Engineers, who perform their professional duties in the
different parts of the World
Ocean despite the
difficult working conditions. The primary purpose of this blog is to help them
in their daily hard work. Author hopes that the technical articles and notes,
which are posted on this blog, will be interesting for both experienced
professionals and novice mechanicians, which are just beginning their careers. Also
I think that this blog will be useful for all mechanicians because many of the
described machines and mechanisms are widely used ashore.

Dear Members,

Please look at my engineering
projects which illustrate my experience in mechanical engineering, design, technology,
electricity, automatic control etc. This projects was fulfilled by me during my
education in Novorossiysk State Maritime Academy and State Maritime University for
the period from 2000-2005 and from 2010-2012.

Above mentioned projects includes:

Engineering Devices:

·
Engineering Graphics: Design of the air cylinder;

·
Automation Devices: Calculation of transients in
linear systems of automatic control.

Cargo-lifting Machinery:

·
Structural Mechanics: Design of the traveling crane metal
structures;

·
Strength & Durability: Numerical analysis of the frame
crane metal structures;

·
Electrical Drive: Deign of the gantry crane
electrical drive;

·
Cargo-Handling Technology: Development of the transshipment
technology for carriage of the cable drums.

Marine Power Plants:

·
Auxiliary Machines: Calculation of the ship's
desalting plant;

·
Main and Auxiliary Boilers: Calculation of the ship’s
heat-recovery boiler;

·
Internal Combustion Engines: Calculation of the ship's internal
combustion engine;

·
Automated Control Systems: Calculation of the automatic system
which controls water level in the boiler;

·
Power Plants Exploitation: Estimation of the exploitation
properties of the ship’s propulsion complex.

If these projects will be
interesting for you please look at my blog:

Dear All! If it will be interesting
for you please look at my FEM-pack FASTRAN. This software was developed for
dynamic analysis of the thin-walled shell-type structures and includes:
preprocessor (only for view early-developed FEM-models), processor (fast sparse
solver) and postprocessor (for view calculation results). Your opinion will be
very interesting for me.

Dear Members,

I am looking for Researcher, Ass. Prof. or Post. Doc position in the field of Fatigue and fracture of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and its alloys.

My name is Roman A. Pochinkov. I am a Docent (Assistant Professor) at the “Mechanical Engineering Department” of the Federal State Educational Institution of the Higher Professional Education “Admiral F.F.Ushakov Maritime State Academy” (The Russian Federation). Essentially, I study mechanical engineering with emphasis on damage accumulation process in engineering structures (including ferrous and non-ferrous metals and its alloys) and fatigue crack growth on various stages of mechanical loading. In addition, I investigate numerical approaches to analysis of the stress-deformed conditions of damaged structural elements (including FEM programming) and interest in computational analysis of the fluid dynamics (including fluid-structure interaction problem and CFD programming). In brief, I am working in the field of dynamics, structural integrity of machines, mechanisms and engineering structures, which are widely used in modern transportation infrastructure (sea going vessels, naval ships, civil and military aircrafts and etc).

At the Academy I teach the following courses: “Theoretical & Applied mechanics”, “Theory of strength of materials”, “Modern computer-aided design systems (CAD, CAM and CAE)”. I have professional knowledge in CAD\CAM systems (ASCON Kompas 3D, Autodesk AutoCAD, SolidWorks), CAE systems (ANSYS Multiphysics, COSMOS, MSC.Nastran), CFD systems (ANSYS CFX, ANSYS Fluent, TESIS Workflow), SCADA systems (National Instruments LabView), scientific calculations (PTC MathCAD, Mathworks MathLAB, SPSS Statistics) programs, Raster (Adobe Photoshop) and 3D (Autodesk 3D Studio MAX) graphical programs. I also know certain programming languages (Visual Basic/VBA, Delphi, FORTRAN and C++).

I have strong practical skills in experimental investigations of the mechanical properties of metals and its alloys in case of static and dynamic loading (low-cycle fatigue, high-cycle fatigue), experience in analysis of the stress-deformed conditions of different constructions with various structure (solid materials, composite materials, multilayer coatings), various mechanical behaviour (elastic materials, plastic materials, elasto-plastic materials), various exploitation conditions (static loading, dynamic loading, impact loading, explosive loading). I am able to conduct the research in the field of both creation of new experimental equipment and modernization of old one (several test benches was developed during preparation of my Ph.D. project).If interested I am ready to review all proposals (e-mail: r.pochinkov@mail.ru; blog: www.pochinkov.blogspot.com).

Best regards,Roman A. Pochinkov
