Hamburg project

Hamburg, quay

The Hamburg project is a general name of scientific-research projects, which are dedicated on investigation of granulated medium dynamics. The project is carrying out by Research Fellows in Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in conjunction with Research Fellows of Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) (Germany).

History

At the 2005 Conference on Actual Problems of Mechanics Anton Krivtsov and Sergiy Antonyuk found out that they shared the same scientific interests and became interested in works of each other. They agreed on a cooperation. Then, at the end of 2007, A. Krivtsov was invited to visit the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, where S. Antonyuk was working at that period of time. After the PhD viva examination Sergiy Antonyuk moved for work to the Hamburg University of Technology. In 2010 a collaborative project was applied to german DAAD scholarship fund. The price for the project was given to tree students of Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (I.E. Asonov, M.S. Korobeynikova, O.A. Khromov ). In the spring of 2011 two of the students (M.S. Korobeynikova, O.A. Khromov ) were sent to Hamburg within the project and made their final research paper defence based on the results of it. In March 2011 A.M. Krivtsov and V.A. Kuz'kin has visited the Hamburg University of Technology.

Cooperation agreement

On the 9th of March during the above-mentioned visit a cooperation agreement was concluded between the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University and Institute of Solids Process Engineering and Particle Technology (SPE) of the Hamburg University of Technology. The agreement was signed by head of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, professor A.M. Krivtsov, and director of Institute SPE, professor Stefan Heinrich. The main research area of the collaboration is ‘The development of mechanical models to describe processes of production and processing of bulk materials’.

You can find full information about the agreement on the site of Institute SPE.
