The publication is dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the birth of Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor E.P. Blokhin, who worked for 30 years as the first Vice-Rector of the University, brief information about his life, scientific and pedagogical activity is given, a bibliography of the main scientific publications of Professor E. Blokhin is given. P.

Doctor of Technical Sciences, professor, full member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences of Ukraine and the Transport Academy of Ukraine, corresponding member of the International Academy of Engineering, Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Ukrainian SSR, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology, laureate of the Prize. Academician A. N. Dinnik, honorary worker of transport of Ukraine, honorary railway worker Blokhin Evgeny Petrovich.

Evgeny Blokhin Scientific, pedagogical and social activity It can be said that Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin belonged to a family closely associated with the railway. At the beginning of the twentieth century, his grandfather, Dmitry Ivanovich Blokhin, began working at the Berdyansk railway station. In the 19th - in the south of Ukraine, large farms for growing grain appeared, they provided 80% of the all-Russian export of grain products. In this regard, the so-called grain ports arose on the shores of the Azov and Black Seas. So, both the port and the railway station in Berdyansk gave work to many people. Dmitry Ivanovich earned good money, and this made it possible to teach his son Peter at the Berdyansk Commercial School.

However, after graduating from a commercial school in 1920, it was almost impossible to get a job as an accountant or accountant. The south of Ukraine in these years was a permanent battlefield. The army of Old Man Makhno, the White Army of Admiral Wrangel, the Red Army under the command of M. Frunze operated here. That is why Ptr Blokhin worked during these years where he could earn a living: on the repair of the railway, in a rural cooperative, as an accountant in Gulyaipole. Constant deprivation, anxiety, domestic disorder undermined the health of Pyotr Dmitrievich.

I had to be treated for a long time, besides, in 1928 a son was born in his family, who was named Eugene. I had to think about a permanent place of residence, about a permanent job. Finally, in Pologi, he was appointed director of the seven-year school, which was part of the system of educational institutions subordinate to the management of the Catherine's railway.

In 1930, the Institute of Railway Engineers was established in Dnepropetrovsk, the leadership of which created a network of preparatory centers where working youth received the knowledge necessary to enter the DIIT. Precisely such preparatory courses began to work at the Pologovskaya school.

In the department of educational institutions of the railway department, and in DI IT, they noticed an executive, competent director of the school. So, in the year Ptr Dmitrievich became the deputy head of the working faculty of DIIT.

The Blokhin family lived in a house on Pushkin Avenue. Son Eugene studied well. Teachers praised him for his erudition, activity, curiosity.

On June 23, 1941, Ptr Dmitrievich was about to go on vacation. Together with my son Evgeny, we discussed what to take with us on vacation. True, in DI IT, Petr Dmitrievich was warned that after the vacation he would be left without a job, since the working faculty was liquidated. The railway administration promised to employ him after the end of his vacation, but then a black date came - June 22, 1941. The war has begun. Of course, there was no question of any launch. Very quickly, Dnepropetrovsk found itself in the frontline zone. We had to think about evacuation. But the collectives were evacuated, and Ptr Dmitrievich, in fact, no longer worked anywhere. And he makes an extraordinary decision: he is transferred from the correspondence department of DIIT, where he studied, to a full-time department, in order to be evacuated along with the institute. And the head of the institute, Professor V. A. Lazaryan, needed an assistant in organizing all urgent matters. However, soon Pyotr Dmitrievich was taken to work in the railway department. So, the Blokhin family was evacuated together with the management team of the Stalinist railway.

The Blokhin family ended up in Tashkent. Ptr Dmitrievich worked on the railroad. He did not leave his cherished dream of getting a higher education even during the war years. True, I had to finish in absentia not DIIT (it was in Novosibirsk), but the Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers. His son Yevgeny did not drop out either: he began to study at an evening school for working youth. Life in Tashkent was difficult. There are a huge number of evacuees, there is not enough housing, the market is expensive, so Evgeny began working in a railway depot, where he mastered the profession of a turner. It was while working at the depot that Evgeny mastered knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering, gaining invaluable experience with his hands, physically feeling what metal is, its hardness, elasticity, reliability. As a rule, Eugene overfulfilled the norm. The Depovskaya wall newspaper set Yevgeny as an example to other young turners. They were especially praised for the fact that Yevgeny tried to learn from his elders, sought to improve his skills, and studied at evening school. Therefore, the end of studies: the father - at the institute and the son - the eighth grade became a small holiday in the Blokhin family. Mom, with the active participation of her daughter Victoria, prepared a modest, but still festive dinner for this occasion.

During the war years, in the places of evacuation, a kind of community spontaneously arose. So, in Tashkent, all Dnepropetrovsk residents kept friendly with society: they helped each other, shared news from the front, from Dnepropetrovsk. Therefore, when the imminent liberation of Dnepropetrovsk became obvious, Tashkent received a letter from Novosibirsk from the head of DIIT, Professor V. A. Lazaryan, with a proposal to go to Dnepropetrovsk and restore his native institute.

A representative of DIIT came to Dnepropetrovsk, who, on the instructions of V. A. Lazaryan, examined the DIIT farm, determined the scope of restoration work. The invaders blew up the building, which housed the library, assembly hall, cinema. They demanded the repair of the hostel, the apartments of the professorial and teaching staff were plundered. It was especially painful that, in fact, the institute was left without a library, and in the professorial apartments all the books were stolen, burned in stoves, in the so-called "potbelly stoves".

The first years after the evacuation, Ptr Dmitrievich worked as the director of the House of Railway Engineering. During these years, DIIT not only intensively restored, but also began the construction of a huge new educational building for those times, which, with its beautiful facade in the style of ancient Greek architecture, overlooked Gagarin Street (now Prospekt). It was assumed that the Institute's library would receive new, spacious rooms, reading rooms, and a book depository. That is why, knowing the organizational skills of P. D. Blokhin, the head of the institute, V. A. Lazaryan, appointed him director of the scientific and technical library for a year. It was necessary to revive the former authority of the library, which even in the prewar years was recognized as one of the three best libraries among all transport higher educational institutions of the Soviet Union. The library staff was headed by Ptr Dmitrievich Blokhin until his retirement. He successfully completed his task: the DIIT library again became one of the best university libraries.

But before his son Eugene in 1944, another problem arose:

whether to continue studying at an evening school and at the same time work in a factory, or to receive a secondary education in a day school. At the family council, it was decided that Evgeniy would pass the exams for the ninth grade as an external student, and then begin to study in the 10th grade. For a month and a half, Eugene studied ninth grade textbooks and passed exams with excellent marks. He began the 1944/1945 academic year as a tenth grade student at secondary school No. 81. In 1945, he passed his final exams happily, with great enthusiasm. Esch would! The war has just ended. We defeated the fascist invaders who wanted to turn Ukraine into a land inhabited by Aryans, who considered themselves a superior race, masters, and we were “subhuman”.

It just so happened that only one year these tenth graders were together. But the team is friendly. Evgeny was recognized in the class as a Jack, a ringleader, the initiator of many interesting cases. So when Yevgeniy applied to DIIT, three-quarters of the class also wanted to become railroad students. True, they entered various faculties. Here their interests diverged. Eugene chose the Faculty of Mechanics.

At first, Eugene studied without much enthusiasm. There were students in the group who had different levels of training: some did not study during the occupation, some came after the preparatory department, there were also front-line soldiers who were demobilized due to injury. Therefore, against their background, Eugene was considered a strong “good guy”. A radical change in his studies was the dean of the faculty E.

Z. Voskoboinik, who sent Evgeny to practice as an assistant driver. Yevgeny was lucky - the innovator engineer A. M. Semykin, well-known on the Stalinist railway, became his head of practice. He not only initiated the young man into the secrets of his profession, but managed to instill love for her. Now Eugene perceived the locomotive as a living being, as a complex mechanism. Until the last days of his life, Professor Blokhin was proud of the fact that he had traveled his ten thousand kilometers, successfully coping with the duties of a locomotive driver.

After this practice, a new student appeared on the course. The current Blokhin was interested in the details of carriage, locomotive technology, asked such questions to teachers of theoretical, structural mechanics that they did not immediately find the right answer. All this led Evgeny to a scientific student circle, in which the inquisitive student sought to find answers to exciting questions. His reports at student scientific conferences were recognized as the best, and their author received awards twice.

In 1949, after graduating from the institute, Evgeny Blokhin got a job at the Nizhnedneprovsky railway junction, where he first worked as a machinist, and then as a locomotive repair engineer. From personal knowledge of the structure of the locomotive helped him to identify and qualitatively eliminate problems in the operation of the locomotive. Engineer Blokhin set up a clear system of inspection and repair, carefully checking the quality of the work done. Within one year, he was twice awarded by the head of the road.

His portrait as the best worker of the locomotive depot adorned the Post Office Board. In accordance with the then existing rules, Evgeny had to work at his destination for at least three years. But at the department of locomotives, an engineer was needed to carry out urgent research work. Professor Vasily Nikolaevich Tveritin remembered the talented student, his scientific work and achieved the transfer of Evgeny Blokhin to DIIT through the Ministry of Railways of the USSR.

The young engineer was well aware that coming to science meant constant work on himself, on improving his qualifications. He decided to go to graduate school. However, the number of graduate students at DIIT was strictly regulated by the Ministry. Evgeny decided to enter a postgraduate student at the Mining Institute. Sat down for textbooks, special literature. And suddenly an unexpected meeting with the head of DIIT, Professor V. A. Lazaryan. He knew how and loved to stun the interlocutor with unexpected news: - “Why go to the mountain? Why not to us? Since when did you, young man, dislike DIIT so much? Ah, no room! Well, nothing, I agreed with the Ministry, they give us one additional place in graduate school! So get ready to take your exams with us. True, it will be difficult, very difficult!”

Soon Eugene became a graduate student of Professor V. A. Lazaryan. Thus began the life of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin in science. In 1957 he defended his Ph.D. thesis. He was awarded the title of Associate Professor. In 1958, his teacher, professor, corresponding member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences V. A. Lazaryan left the post of head of DIIT. He headed the strength department at the academic research institute. In DIIT, his scientific direction was continued by his students. The Department of Structural Mechanics in 1960 was headed by Associate Professor Andrey Ivanovich Stukalov. However, Vsevolod Arutyunovich remained a professor of the department until 1978, until the end of his life.

Therefore, the staff of the department has always been in the "Lazaryan" intensive rhythm. All members of the department worked hard in the research laboratory of the dynamics and strength of the rolling stock, regularly went on scientific trips, tested the first jet-powered locomotive. It was the Department of Structural Mechanics that was an example not only in DIIT, but also among the technical universities of the country in the use of computer technology in research work.

The intensity of E. P. Blokhin’s scientific activity is evidenced by the fact that Evgeny Petrovich published 8-10 articles annually on topical problems of rolling stock mechanics. The result of this hard work was a doctoral dissertation, defended in 1972. Already as a Doctor of Technical Sciences, on the recommendation of Academician V.A. Lazaryan, he headed the Branch Research Laboratory of Rolling Stock Dynamics and Strength. This laboratory was the favorite brainchild of academician V.

A. Lazaryan. It was this laboratory, established in 1958 at DIIT, that became an authoritative scientific center for the study of longitudinal forces in a train during movement, as well as during braking. The laboratory, on the instructions of the Ministry of Railways of the USSR, tested new railway equipment and made recommendations to design organizations. Among the scientific teams of DIIT, the laboratory team has always occupied a leading position in terms of the volume of contractual work. Having transferred the scientific leadership of the laboratory to E.P. Blokhin, Academician V.A. Lazaryan was sure that his student would do everything necessary for the laboratory not only to maintain its position, but also to advance in its scientific research. Particularly well-known, and most importantly, in demand were works on the use of an automatic control system for locomotives, proposals for improving the brakes of cars and locomotives, and the introduction of new norms and standards in the design of railway rolling stock. E.P. Blokhin proposed to his colleagues to develop an original method for assessing the strength of car structural elements.

Using computer technology, the simulated complex dynamic processes of a longitudinal nature that occur at the time of train start-up contributed to the improvement of railway technology. Using computer technology, complex dynamic processes of a longitudinal nature that occur at the moment of train start-up were simulated. Studies have been carried out on the behavior of empty cars in heavy trains, the compatibility of operation in the same composition of freight and passenger cars, studies on the assessment of real forces arising in a heavy train, studies on the behavior of locomotives at different speeds, on sections of different track curvature - all this not only contributed to the development of the theory of body mechanics, but also gave specific proposals for the operation of rolling stock.

Despite the difficulties in the work of universities in the 1990s, the staff of the laboratory managed to maintain its position. Moreover, Professor E. P. Blokhin and his team took an active part in the creation of the first Ukrainian mainline electric locomotive. This work of Professor E. P. Blokhin was highly appreciated by the government - he became a laureate of the State Prize in the field of science and technology.

At the same time, the leadership of the institute believed that the unintelligent energy that amazed the efficiency and initiative of Evgeny Petrovich was not used to its full potential. And the professor himself took such an active position in life that he wanted to personally take part in all issues, not only scientific, but also educational, educational, and administrative work.

In 1973, he was elected head of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics, which he headed for ten years. The staff of this department consisted mainly of the students of Academician V.A. Lazaryan, and in matters of science they worked in tandem with the staff of the Department of Structural Mechanics and the Laboratory of Rolling Stock Dynamics and Strength. This made it possible to solve complex technical problems at a high professional and theoretical level.

In 1971, DIIT was headed by a new rector - Viktor Agapievich Kablukov. New responsible tasks were set before DIIT: it was necessary to improve the educational process, open new specialties, introduce computer technology into scientific work and the educational process, the institute needed the construction of new educational buildings, dormitories.

All this dictated the need for the institute to be headed by a team of like-minded people. That is why in 1974 Professor E. P. Blokhin was appointed the first vice-rector responsible for the organization and quality of the educational process. Associate Professor (since 1988 professor) O. M. Savchuk became Vice-Rector for Research.

For almost thirty years, Professor E. P. Blokhin worked as the first pro-rector of the institute, which in 1993 received the status of a university. In his vice-rector's activities, Evgeny Petrovich paid special attention to improving the qualification level of teachers. Over the years, the number of doctors has grown from ten to fifty. All profiling departments were headed by professors. This made it possible to expand the scope of scientific research. The university now had 16 research laboratories, many of which carried out joint developments with the staff of the rolling stock dynamics and strength laboratory.

The rector's office has done a great deal of work on the development and implementation of an automated system for managing a higher educational institution. For the first time in university practice, constant computer monitoring of the implementation of individual plans by students of calendar plans, the quality of study, and attendance by students of classes was introduced. This enabled Vice-Rector E.P. Blokhin to promptly respond to any violations of the educational process. Therefore, when many years later, at the beginning of the 2000s, universities began to introduce a rating system for assessing knowledge, this did not come as a surprise to the staff of the transport university.

As vice-rector, E.P. Blokhin paid much attention to the improvement of students' work experience. It was DIIT that in 1970-1980 became the initiator of combining the work of student labor teams with industrial practice. Working on the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railway, erecting and repairing bridges, working as assistant drivers, conductors, students gained not only experience in production, but also in organizational and educational work. The joint work of the headquarters of the student teams with the administration, departments, gave excellent results: in fact, every year the DIIT student team was among the best both on the scale of the USSR and Ukraine.

The difficult economic years of the 1990s led to a shrinking base for work experience. Many universities, in fact, were liquidated.

But thanks to the enormous efforts of Vice-Rector E.P. Blokhin, his perseverance in working with the Ministry, Railway Departments, and enterprises, we managed to defend this important form of training for future engineers. During the period of E. P. Blokhin’s activity as the first vice-rector of the institute, a lot was done to strengthen and develop the educational material base: branches of departments were created at many enterprises, each department equipped subject audiences, a powerful computer park was created at the departments, courses were organized for some teachers on mastering the basics of programming.

This active and fruitful work of Professor E.P. Blokhin as Vice-Rector was highly appreciated: he was awarded the title of Honored Worker of the Higher School of Ukraine.

In 1983, Professor E.P. Blokhin headed the Department of Structural Mechanics. In the same year it was five years since Academician V. A. Lazaryan passed away. On the initiative of Evgeny Petrovich, it was decided that the department, DIIT, should become the center of constant communication between scientific mechanics. To this end, every four years our university becomes the venue for the International Scientific Conference on Problems of Railway Transport Mechanics. At these conferences, scientists from all over the world presented their reports. Thus, the scientific school of railway transport mechanics has received international recognition. On the other hand, the reports of Professor E. P. Blokhin and his colleagues aroused great interest at scientific conferences of the scientific and engineering community in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Warsaw, Budapest, and Krakow.

Taking into account the merits of Professor Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin in the field of mechanics, he was elected a full member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences of Ukraine, the Academy of Transport of Ukraine, a corresponding member of the International Academy of Engineering. Under his leadership, the Department of Structural Mechanics established scientific relations with universities, research institutes, railway transport enterprises in Russia, the USA, France, Poland, Iran, Hungary, and Lithuania.

Academician V. A. Lazaryan, whose name our university bears, considered himself a student of the outstanding scientist-mechanic, academician, professor of the Mining Institute Alexander Nikolayevich Dinnik. On the desk of V. A. Lazaryan there was always a portrait of Alexander Nikolaevich. In fact, Academician A.N. Dinnik was the father of all schools of mechanics in Dnepropetrovsk:

miners, transport workers, builders, metallurgists. That is why Professor E. P. Blokhin was especially proud of the fact that he became the laureate of the academic award named after Academician A. N. Dinnik. This highest scientific award for scientific mechanics of Ukraine in 1980 at the general meeting of the Academy of Sciences was presented to Professor E. P. Blokhin by the President of the Academy B. E. Paton. Thus, the cycle of scientific works “Strength, vibrations and stability of mechanical systems”, which were published by Professor E. P. Blokhin, was marked.

Dnepropetrovsk is called the space capital of Ukraine. And the rocket industry is impossible to imagine without Academician Mikhail Kuzmich Yangel. Professor E. P. Blokhin was the owner of the medal in honor of the outstanding rocket designer. This award was given to his merits in the development of technology for transporting rocketry along railway lines.

Professor E. P. Blokhin paid much attention to the training of scientific personnel. More than 60 people defended candidate and doctoral dissertations under his scientific supervision. Tens of thousands of engineers work in railway transport, who have undergone serious theoretical training in the departments headed by Professor E. P. Blokhin. Considering this, as well as the fruitful scientific cooperation of E.P. Blokhin with railway transport, he was awarded the postal title of Honored Transport Worker of Ukraine.

The scientist published more than five hundred scientific papers, received about fifty patents for inventions. He is the author of a number of textbooks and monographs. Among them are “Strength analysis of freight cars”, “Dynamics of electric rolling stock”, “Dynamics of a train”, “Calculation and testing of heavy trains”, “High speed ground transport of the world”.

For many years Volya Vsevolodovna was his faithful assistant and friend. He continued the family tradition and became a scientific mechanic, doctor of technical sciences and his son Sergei.

The scientific and pedagogical activity of the professor, doctor of technical sciences, a member of three academies of engineering and technical sciences was highly appreciated. He was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples, medals, diploma of the Supreme Council of Ukraine, postal diploma of the President of Ukraine.

In honor of the memory of the name of Professor Blokhin E.P., First intercessor of the General Director of Ukrainian Railways M.I. Sergіenko Academician of three academies Professor Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin, in addition to being an outstanding scientist and teacher, was also a talented organizer of the educational process and scientific research.

I would like to start my reminiscences about Professor Blokhin E.P. first as a lecturer. The first acquaintance took place with me, then a student of the Faculty of Mechanics in the specialty "Car Building and Carriage Facilities", at lectures on "Strength of Materials". The lectures were held in a classical amphitheater-type lecture hall.

As a rule, these lectures were the first in the class schedule, Evgeny Petrovich promptly appeared in the audience a few seconds after the bell rang, and after a short greeting, he began to present the material loudly and clearly. And not easy for perception by students of the 2nd year. But the amazing quality of Evgeny Petrovich, as a lecturer, to start a new lecture from the words on which the previous one ended, contributed to the fact that we, the students, opening the notes, immediately continued to take notes, without thinking that some fragments of the lecture material may be skipped.

As an organizer of scientific research, I was lucky to meet Evgeny Petrovich at the Branch Research Laboratory of Rolling Stock Dynamics and Strength (ONIL DPPS), where I was sent after graduating from the institute for distribution. Due to his busy schedule, since he served as the first Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Evgeny Petrovich began work in the laboratory at the end of the day, but until all issues were fully resolved. On the other hand, Evgeny Petrovich's amazing ability, as they say, to grasp the main essence of the problem "on the fly" made it possible to resolve many issues very quickly.

Evgeniy Petrovich always aroused admiration for his hard work and indefatigable energy, which was enough to solve many scientific and engineering problems: whether it was theoretical research or the organization and conduct of an experiment.

Several episodes from the life history of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin, which are closely related to the development of the scientific school of transport mechanics and the ONIL of rolling stock dynamics and strength.

In the late 80s, when the institute was still in the system of the Ministry of Railways of the USSR, ONIL DPPS cooperated with many main departments of the Ministry of Railways. In one of them, the Main Department of the Locomotive Economy, Yevgeny Petrovich's namesake worked as deputy head of the head office. So, on behalf of the Deputy Minister of Railways, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Boris Danilovich Nikiforov, he found an opportunity to strengthen the material and technical base of ONIL DPPS at the training ground under Art. Illariono in the Dnieper railway as follows. Despite the shortage of shunting locomotives on the roads, it was decided to send a new diesel locomotive TGM-23V from the assembly line of the Lyudinovsky Diesel Locomotive Plant to DIIT for the needs of ONIL DPPS, while testing railway equipment, Evgeny Petrovich, despite his busyness, went personally to the head of the head office. And it has always had a positive result.

Yevgeny Petrovich joked: “How could he refuse his namesake!”.

A long period of time, starting from the mid-80s, in the life of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin was occupied with public work to create and organize the activities of academic structures. So, on the basis of DIIT, the National Branch of the International Academy of Engineering was created.

It, of course, was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Blokhin E.P.

The department included all large industrial enterprises and scientific organizations of the Dnepropetrovsk region. The heads of these enterprises were academic fellows and full members of the International Academy of Engineering. Among the academicians was the future President of Ukraine, Leonid Danilovich Kuchma, then General Director of the Southern Machine-Building Plant.

Evgeny Petrovich was a participant in the formation of the activities of two more academies: the International Academy of Transport and the Transport Academy of Ukraine. Moreover, the work for the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology related to the development, development of production and commissioning of a modern freight electric locomotive, namely, the first Ukrainian freight electric locomotive manufactured at the Dnepropetrovsk Electric Locomotive Plant, was presented by the Transport Academy of Ukraine. By the way, Yevgeny Petrovich from the university became a member of the team of authors for this work and was awarded the title of Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology. Despite the fact that Yevgeny Petrovich was a full member of three academies, he still introduced himself as "Professor Blokhin." He considered the title of "professor" the highest degree of education and scholarship.

Vice-Rector of the University, Head of the Department "Wagons and Carriage Facilities"

Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor S. V. Myamlin About one International project Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin will forever remain in our memory as a talented leader and organizer who had amazing intuition in assessing the prospects of a scientific project and its importance for the development of not only our university, but the railway transport in general. I would like to talk about one such international project and the role of Evgeny Petrovich in its implementation in this short article.

The years 2000-2004 can rightly be called revolutionary for the railway transport of Ukraine. Thanks to the efforts of the outstanding leader, General Director of Ukrzaliznytsia, and since 2002, the Minister of Transport and Communications of Ukraine G. N. Kirpa, the unprofitable sector of the economy has turned into a profitable state business. Changes were visible everywhere: from large railway stations in cities with a population of one million to village stations. Everywhere there were bright tiles on the roof, turnstiles at the entrance to the platform, clean waiting rooms, latrines shone with imported plumbing. These remarkable changes, of course, affected not only the infrastructure of the railways, but also the rolling stock.

In the autumn of 2002, after one of his trips to Kyiv, Evgeny Petrovich gathered the leaders of the ONIL DPPS groups, of which he was the scientific director from 1999 until the last days of his life. During this meeting, he announced that we were invited to become the leading organization for carrying out the acceptance tests of a new type of rolling stock - railcars for inspection trips, as well as that G. N. Kirpa personally oversees the project.

The project was unique in its technical novelty. It was about self-propelled rolling stock on air suspension with speeds up to 160 km/h, equipped with two diesel engines with unprecedented efficiency - 50 liters of diesel fuel per km. The internal equipment of the railcar also could not but arouse admiration: in the front and rear parts of the body there are amphitheaters for 14 seats to accommodate the management of Ukrzaliznytsia, four video cameras to record the state of the infrastructure while moving, a conference room with a huge plasma screen for viewing and analyzing records , satellite navigation, household amenities (kitchen, shower, manager's office, rest compartment, etc.).

Already a few weeks after the mentioned meeting, the first working meeting of specialists in the dynamics of the strength of the rolling stock of our university with representatives of the manufacturer's plant, JSC PESA, Bydgoszcz, Poland, took place in Kyiv. Our delegation was headed by Prof. E. P. Blokhin, Polish - Director for Eastern Markets Z. Zhuravsky. From the first minutes of the discussion that flared up after the report of Polish specialists and meetings in expert groups, Yevgeny Petrovich, with his characteristic emotionality, began to prove the need to refine the design. Here we must pay tribute to the Polish specialists, who not only agreed with the arguments of Professor Blokhin, but also made the necessary changes in the shortest possible time and already in March 2003 invited the Ukrainian delegation to Poland for the final presentation of the railcar project.

The composition of the delegation from Ukrzaliznytsia was very representative: A. D. Lashko, N. I. Lukhanin (deputy general directors of Ukrzaliznytsia), N. I. Sergienko (head of the main department of locomotive facilities). From the side of DIIT, prof. E. P. Blokhin, prof.

M. L. Korotenko. He took part in the work of the Ukrainian delegation and the author of the article.

During all meetings, the importance of the project was felt not only for Ukraine, but also for Poland. In fact, this was the first project that opened the way for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in the field of railway technology. One has only to say that for our delegation, primates were arranged for the mayor of the city of Bydgoszcz and the governor of the Kuyavo-Pomorsky region, during which, of course, E. P. Blokhin played one of the key roles.

Subsequent workshops devoted to the consideration of the mechanical part of the project were accompanied by heated scientific disputes, in the center of which was always the emotional Professor Blokhin. At the same time, the no less emotional chief designer of AO PESA A. Ciupa acted as his main opponent. In the future, they learned to listen to each other, became friends, and while working on other projects, they already found mutual understanding, literally, from a half-word.

After the described fundamental meeting of Ukrainian and Polish specialists in Poland, the project progressed very quickly. Already in the fall of the year, the railcar crossed the border of Ukraine and was prepared for testing. Yevgeny Petrovich was the head of the whole complex of works on carrying out bonding tests. During running dynamic tests, he personally supervised an experimental trip on the Kyiv-Boryspil section, during which the speed of movement was reached in km/h.

The acceptance tests were successful, and based on their results, the relevant documents were drawn up, which formed the basis for the work of the interdepartmental commission for putting the railcar into operation. The solemn commissioning of the railcar for inspection trips into operation took place with the direct participation of the President of Ukraine L. D. Kuchma.

The railcar for inspection trips served as a pilot project for joint Ukrainian-Polish work on the introduction of modern types of passenger transport on the railways of Ukraine, in particular, rail buses.

E.P. Blokhin’s participation and direct supervision of the described projects, his highest authority with the leadership of the railway industry paved the way for ONIL DPPS to other international works that are being successfully carried out at the present time.

Head of the department "Construction mechanics"

Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor S. A. Kostritsa In memory of Professor Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin Dear Colleagues!

A year has passed since the departure of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin, a prominent scientist in the field of railway transport, known not only in the CIS countries, but throughout the world. Most of the life of Evgeny Petrovich was inextricably linked with the Research Laboratory of Dynamics and Strength of Rolling Stock from the first day of its creation. He, one of the students of Vsevolod Harutyunovich Lazaryan, naturally became the scientific director of the Laboratory immediately after his death. He managed, despite many difficulties, to maintain for many years both the laboratory itself, as an authoritative scientific team, and a team of like-minded people, created by Vsevolod Arutyunovich Lazaryan with his direct participation and united by a permanent seminar on mechanics. Yevgeny Petrovich himself has many students.

Thanks to the scientific and organizational activity of Evgeny Petrovich, for more than 30 years, a specialized council has been functioning at DIIT for the defense of doctoral and master's theses in the specialty “Railway rolling stock. transport"

I was lucky to start collaborating with Evgeny Petrovich in May 1959, when Vsevolod Arutyunovich sent Evgeny Petrovich, Mikhail Leonidovich, Iosif Gdalevich and myself to Kharkov in one of the laboratories of A.P. Filippov to get acquainted with the use of continuous electronic computers for solving certain mathematical problems dynamics of wagons and locomotives, simulation of a number of technological processes related to the dynamics of wagons. In this cohort, we have worked together on various issues for many years.

Theoretical studies were closely intertwined with field experiments conducted by specialists from the Laboratory of Dynamics and the Departments of Structural Mechanics, Theoretical Mechanics, Carriages, Tracks, etc. It so happened that among the many problems of rolling stock dynamics associated with the use of electronic models, I The experimenter in the field of radiophysics, then still a young specialist, was most of all fascinated by the prospects for an experimental solution - electronic simulation of many complex nonlinear problems of mathematical physics, which included problems related to the dynamics of trains. The features of the draft gears created by the designers significantly influenced the difficulties in solving the corresponding problems and the analysis of theoretical and experimental results. The individual characteristics of these devices had completely different effects on the formation of waves in trains and on the processes of collision of cars, and, ultimately, on the strength of cars and traffic safety. In those years, the main interests of Evgeny Petrovich, as a scientist, were connected with the experimental and theoretical study of transient processes in trains and other distributed technical systems. The commonality of interests then made us friends.

For the first time, it was Evgeniy Petrovich who considered the processes in non-uniform mass trains and in non-uniform long rod systems.

With the improvement of computer technology, the center of gravity of mathematical modeling gradually shifted from electronic modeling to the use of digital mathematical machines using numerical methods for integrating differential equations of motion. Although in those years digital computers were inferior in terms of time spent on obtaining the simulation result to analog devices, they made it possible to obtain separate results to control the accuracy of the simulation. In addition, the prospects for their improvement, arithmetic and logical capabilities, implemented with a high degree of accuracy, made it easier to implement various computational operations in combination with branched logical conditions. A feature of train dynamics problems is the significant non-linearity of the power characteristics of inter-car connections and the need to integrate systems of a large number of second-order differential equations, sometimes up to several hundred.

Even modern computers, with their fantastic speed, require considerable time to obtain a solution. And in order to form recommendations for designers and technical personnel operating the rolling stock, it is necessary to analyze the results of integrating equations that describe technological processes with a variety of options for the implementation of the initial data and a variety of conditions for this implementation. Moreover, in some cases it is necessary to analyze dynamic processes in real time. Therefore, much attention has been paid and continues to be paid to the problems of modeling dynamic processes in trains.

The integration of only one specific system on the first digital computers took time, measured in days. Therefore, in order to obtain a solution to the equations, it was necessary to solve a number of technological problems. First of all, to implement numerical integration, it was necessary to choose from a variety of known methods for numerical integration of systems of differential equations a sufficiently economical and sufficiently accurate implementation of the solution of equations. This choice is not so easy. The fact is that the methods of numerical integration of high accuracy assumed the smoothness of solutions almost up to derivatives of the fourth order, while the states of connection of two neighboring bodies were described by non-smooth functions, that is, the solutions were physically limited by smooth functions only up to the second order. In addition, the technological tasks of organizing integration included, on the one hand, the problem of replacing a long system equivalent in the chosen parameter with a short way, and, on the other hand, creating the possibility of interrupting the integration process and then continuing it with the correct setting of the initial conditions integration of differential equations of motion. In the latter case, it turned out that setting specific initial conditions that ensure the continuation of the integration of the system of differential equations leads to the need to solve an ill-posed mathematical problem.

The incorrectness of the problem consisted in the ambiguity of determining the state of car connections, depending on these states not only on the phase variables of the system (strains and strain rates), but also on the processes occurring before the moment of interruption. These difficulties could be overcome by introducing additional differential equations, which was not desirable due to their large number, or by specifying, in addition to the traditional initial conditions, the initial values ​​of the forces that took place at the moment of interruption, or some other conditions that make the subsequent solution unambiguous and the same as it would be when a solution is received without interruption. Much work in this direction was carried out under the guidance of Evgeny Petrovich and with his direct participation later associate professors Larisa Vasilievna Belik and Lyudmila Grigorievna Masleeva. This made it possible, despite the relatively low speed of operation of integrating mathematical machines such as Ural1, UralZ, Minsk 22, Minsk 32, to obtain important recommendations included in the norms and rules for the construction of railways, as well as to study a number of important dynamic processes occurring in heavy-weight compound trains with distributed along the length of the locomotives.

Under the leadership of Evgeny Petrovich, senior researchers Mikhail Evgenievich Itin and Viktor Nikolaevich Zakharov developed, manufactured by the employees of the Laboratory of Dynamics and Strength of Rolling Stock and tested systems for autonomous automatic control of locomotives distributed along a heavy-weight compound train, organized and tested freight trains weighing up to 33 thousand tons, conditions have been created for the safe driving of double-length passenger trains.

Grigory Vasilyevich Evdomakha and Konstantin Igorevich Zheleznov developed a simulator for drivers, which is successfully used by a number of locomotive depots.

For many years, increased attention has been paid to the study of the reliability of rolling stock and track wear. In this direction, in relation to refrigerated rolling stock, with the participation of Evgeny Petrovich, studies were carried out on the accumulation of information on the loading of cars in various technological processes associated with their circulation. This work has been carried out both experimentally and by computer simulation methods since 1973. Technical means were developed for the accumulation, storage and automated processing of information (Vitaly Mikhailovich Mikhailenko, Kostantin Igorevich Zheleznov, Naum Yakovlevich Garkavi), guidelines for accelerated testing of refrigerator cars, programs for these tests in the USSR and in Germany (associate professor Viktor Viktorovich Kolbun). Provisions were also developed to extend the service life of the suburban electric rolling stock of Ukraine (Vladimir Leonidovich Gorobets).

The scientific recognition of Evgeny Petrovich as a scientist and organizer of a large scientific team is manifested in the preservation of the authority of the school of railway mechanics. transport in Dnepropetrovsk, in authoritative all-Union and international conferences held under his leadership, in the participation of Evgeny Petrovich in the work of the highest attestation commission, in his participation in the work of various technical councils in the industry.

In conclusion, I want to note with gratitude that Evgeny Petrovich was a sensitive and attentive colleague and friend who repeatedly came to the rescue in difficult periods of my life and my family. It is tragic that within a year his son, Sergei Evgenievich, also passed away. The memory of Evgeny Petrovich, Sergei Evgenievich and Volya Vsevolodovna is preserved in our family as long as we are alive.

Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor L. A. Manashkin.

West Hartford, Connecticut, USA Blokhin E.P. died a year ago. Blokhin. In his face, a representative of an entire era of Soviet higher education, Soviet science as a whole, died. That science that won the world audience, that higher school that shaped the consciousness of several generations of the Soviet intelligentsia, that intelligentsia that was inextricably linked with the culture of the nation, with Pushkin, Chekhov, Turgenev, whom E. P.

The image that E.P. Blokhin minted his life in my memory, is the image of a professor, scientist, intellectual. I, a person who is far from the theoretical problems of the exact sciences, have always felt the intellectual energy that Evgeny Petrovich radiated. At the same time, the impression of physical lightness that he left remains unforgettable: Blokhin did not walk, he flew. He was not the usual eighty-year-old man, he was graceful, elegant. He was not old until the last year of his life.

E.P. Blokhin was a man of rare gratitude and rare attention to people. Once turning to someone with a request, he could then say “thank you” for ten years.

In communication with E.P. Blokhin left the impression of ease, the impression of a person, certainly sensitive and vulnerable, but open and principled: at the meetings of the Academic Council of the University, E.P. Blokhin was always felt.

As for my attitude, I am not inclined to believe the words that "if it were possible to live life anew, then I would live it exactly as it is, and not otherwise."

Personally, other words are closer and more understandable to me: “I realized that the day will come and I will die. And before I die, two things will happen: first, I will regret my whole life. Secondly, I will want to relive my whole life again, and after that I will die. I don't know if Yevgeny Petrovich shared this attitude, but I'm sure he would have understood me.

About the disease, which E.P. Blokhin, it was known;

was known primarily to himself. His death was not a complete surprise for me either, but all the same, it struck me with suddenness, pulling me out of the banal everyday life. And I immediately thought: the world without Blokhin is already different, our university without Yevgeny Petrovich will never be the same again.

Of course, Evgeny Petrovich will live on in his works, in his students and grandchildren. But we all know that we will miss the voice of Evgeny Petrovich, the presence of Blokhin in DIIT.

“There is no person who would be like an Island, in itself: each person is a part of the Mainland, a part of the Land;

and if the Wave blows the coastal Cliff into the sea, Europe will become smaller, and also if it washes away the edge of the Cape or destroys your Castle or your Friend;

the death of each Man diminishes me too, for I am one with all mankind, and therefore never ask for whom the bell tolls: it tolls for You ”(John Donne).

Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Head of the Department of Philology and Translation T. I. Vlasova Keeper of Sciences In order to correctly assess the possible in a particular case, in order to get an important result for us in a timely manner, in order to reach the desired goal, not only in science, but also in everyday life affairs, in complex relationships between people, it is important to know, and it is better to have convincing examples in front of you. Knowledge of such achievements, such models gives us confidence and strength, helps us make a better decision, saves time, and expands our capabilities. Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin is an indomitable and talented creator, bearer and custodian of remarkable examples of the science of successfully acting. Examples for all are the diversity of his scientific interests, the depth of erudition and intelligence, energy, purposefulness and consistency in solving the planned tasks, the ability to organize the work of teams, the ability to hear the opinions of others, the desire to constantly be in the turbulent flow of events and affairs of his time. The authority of the scientific school of railway transport mechanics of Academician V.A. Lazaryan, whose development in recent years is associated with the name of Professor E.P. Blokhin, is generally recognized.

For me, this is largely explained by the fact that Evgeny Petrovich managed to collect in himself and pass on to his students, his colleagues, the science of serving Science, the science of preserving and multiplying the glorious traditions of the V. Lazaryan School, love and devotion to the cause you serve, to the dear him and us DIIT.

E.P. Blokhin among many. Active rejection of everything that does not fit into these ideas, an important facet of his character, It manifested itself in the "big", but above all in everyday life.

In the hot summer of 2012, we met with Evgeny Petrovich in the academic building. Yevgeny Petrovich complained about the weather and admitted that for the first time he was at the university without a tie, although he still wore a jacket. I thought that maybe with these words, it was also indicated to me how to love my university, honor and intelligently reap its glorious name.

The science and art of persuading, winning over both many and an individual opponent, are inseparable from a respectful and attentive attitude to the opinions of others, has a foundation of solid knowledge and principles, but does not tolerate unconditional judgments, extremes and haste. This is another section of our teacher's science. For me, as for many who fall under the constant charm of Yevgeny Petrovich's personality, the secret course of the lines of his arguments, which ultimately lead to success, remained a mystery. It has always been interesting, productive and useful to have a conversation with Evgeny Petrovich, to participate in scientific discussions, to talk about present and past big and not so important events. Evgeny Petrovich had the gift to find and carefully touch the strings of the human soul.

I would like to say about the science of trust, which allowed Professor E.P.

Blokhin to create a strong circle of like-minded people who are able to take responsibility and reach the intended goal. It was honorable and difficult to earn and justify the hopes of this science of trust. Yevgeny Petrovich knew how to unmistakably find like-minded people, trust people and valued the trusting relationships of others.

To become a real researcher, scientist, teacher, worthy professional in any other field of activity, one must at least be close to the real bearers of this gift, "know the sweetness of labor and taste the bitterness of fruits." When I had to think about how to become a professor of DIIT, what qualities I should try to develop, I again and again turned to the sciences of Evgeny Petrovich. Surely, many colleagues and students of Professor E.P. Blokhin know other sections of such important sciences. It seems to me that they are universal, have helped many to create themselves and pave their way in life. They will more than once serve everyone who has chosen the path of developing science, devotion to duty, supporting the creative beginnings of people who have decided to successfully keep up with their time.

Head of the Department "Computer Information Technologies"

Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor V. V. Skalozub Personal memories of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin Dear colleagues and friends from the Dnepropetrovsk National University of Railway Transport named after V.A. Lazaryan!

A year has already passed since the remarkable Scientist and Man, Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin, who would now be one year old, left us forever. To tell about him is the duty of those who knew this amazing person and will always remember him.

Understanding that in the Bulletin of the University, where these memoirs about Evgeny Petrovich will be published, there will be a lot of information about the role he played in the formation and development of the scientific school of transport mechanics, I would like to highlight some apparently little-known facts of his international scientific and pedagogical activity. And to do this by telling some real stories from personal relationships with Evgeny Petrovich.

One of the first meetings with Professor Blokhin took place in 1986, when, preparing for the defense of our Ph.D. Boronenko arrived in Dnepropetrovsk and found themselves in the office of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin, who at that time was vice-rector of DIIT for academic work.

This meeting will stay with me for the rest of my life. During a conversation between two professors, Evgeny Petrovich looked through the abstract of my dissertation and, apparently clarifying something for himself, asked me questions that, as it seemed to me then, reflected the very essence of the work and those “pitfalls” that probably exist in any dissertations of any applicant for the degree of candidate of sciences. And I was simply amazed at how quickly, thoroughly and deeply the work was “scanned”. Having finished asking questions, Evgeny Petrovich very clearly formulated the main thing that was in it and what still needs to be done, and agreed to hear and discuss my report at a joint scientific seminar, which he led.

And here comes my presentation at a seminar in the large Chemical Auditorium of DIIT. Then there are answers to questions. The participants of the seminar were more than people from various universities and scientific organizations of Dnepropetrovsk. There are many questions - on mechanics, FEM, programming, etc.

How many of these questions were there, how long did the discussion of the work go on?

It seemed to me that an eternity had passed and the seminar would never end!

What do I remember most about this seminar? The way Yevgeny Petrovich gently, unobtrusively and cleverly led me to the correct answers and “prompted” me in cases of difficulty.

I have never had such seminars before, and I am not expected to.

After such a seminar-exam, the dissertation defense itself becomes a cakewalk. Undoubtedly, the organizers of such discussions of the work done can only be such talented scientists and teachers as Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin, whom I began to treat with reverence.

Then there were many other meetings - both in Dnepropetrovsk, where our delegation always takes part in international conferences “Problems of Railway Transport Mechanics”, and in St. Petersburg, where the international conference “Rolling Stock of the 21st Century (ideas, requirements, projects). And at those and other conferences, Professor Blokhin always occupied a leading position, being its organizer (or being a member of the organizing committee of the conference) and making presentations on topical topics. And the very idea of ​​holding the St. Petersburg Conference was born with the direct participation of Evgeny Petrovich, with whom the rules and dates for holding these conferences were agreed so that they did not overlap and complement one another.

And how well the post-conference tours went - in my memory there were KVNs, and sports events, and bathing under the moon. Here, as always, Evgeny Petrovich is the soul of the company. He will sing and tell the story - listen to it!

I well remember walking with Yevgeny Petrovich together in the evening in Petersburg, which he loved very much and knew history and architecture well. And a car trip to the newly opened Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna - with what curiosity he listened to the stories of the former course guide and asked questions.

And always with Evgeny Petrovich it was easy and very interesting. Remembering Evgeny Petrovich on his birthday, I would like to say that I was very lucky in my life to meet and get acquainted with such a wonderful Person!

Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of St. Petersburg State University of Railway Transport A. V. Tretyakov Dedicated to E.P. Blokhin And I still became a locomotive driver ... After graduating from the DIIT in the Locomotives department, Evgeny Petrovich was sent to the locomotive depot Nizhnedneprovsk-Uzel, where he first worked as an assistant driver, and then as a locomotive driver. He drove freight trains towards Krasnograd and Chaplino and was very proud that he had a certificate for the right to drive a steam locomotive.

I think that, subsequently, Evgeny Petrovich was one of the few, if not the only first vice-rector of the 10 railway universities of the former Soviet Union, who had such a certificate.

And I, knowing his love for the history of railway transport and, especially, for the history of the steam locomotive and steam locomotive building, had the honor and pleasure to let him read the story of V.S. Pikul "Passing by Lyuban". Lyuban - for the title of the railway station near the present St. Petersburg, where P.P. Melnikov.

In this, practically, autobiographical story, V.S. Pikul says that he spent his childhood at the Kagarlyk station (now the Kiev region) and that the house where he lived was not far from the railway. And when trains passed, especially at night, sparks from a locomotive pipe, luminous windows of passenger cars - all this fascinated him.

He wrote: "I so wanted to become a locomotive driver!".

But the war began ... From the war, V.S. Pikul came already as a paratrooper sailor, having military awards, and wanted to submit documents to the railway school so that you study as an assistant driver, and then a locomotive driver, but they were not accepted, since he had 5 education classes out of the required 7 (interfered war).

And it so happened that V.S. Pikul associated with literature. And his story, he is the author of more than two dozen historical novels, already at the end of his life, ends with such sad words: “Still, it’s a pity that I didn’t become a locomotive driver ...”.

Returning this story to me, Evgeny Petrovich, a recognized luminary in the field of rolling stock dynamics and strength, winner of many awards and titles, author of many books, proudly said: “But I still became a locomotive driver…”.

Dean of the Faculty of Mechanics, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Locomotives N. P. Dovbnya Strength test Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin's service record contains the following line: "I took part in solving the problem of transporting missiles."

Indeed, at the beginning of 1965, Academician V.A. Lazaryan set the task for his employees to determine the dynamic loads on the rocket during its transportation from the Dnepropetrovsk plant to the Baikonur test site.

It was a project of the Soviet defense industry headed by the Yuzhnoye design bureau and was called the Combat Railway Missile System (BZHRK). A special group of researchers headed by Professor E.P. Blokhin. The group included M.E. Itin, E.V. Yuspina, L.L. Podolsky, L.A. Tour, N.A. Sold, V.A. Muzykin and other employees of DIIT.

V.A. Lazaryan together with E.P. Blokhin made a test plan. Particular attention was paid to the creation of various extreme situations during the movement of the echelon in order to provide for all precautionary measures in further regular transportation.

The rocket was placed in two special freight wagons, which were larger than usual. We left Dnepropetrovsk on a long road for testing in the dead of night.

The direct management of the echelon and the research group was carried out by Professor E.P. Blokhin. Academician V.A. Lazaryan flew by helicopter from one major railway junction to another.

The echelon at each railway station was taken on the second track farther from prying eyes, together with a group of scientists, he discussed the “behavior of missiles” while moving along the way, determined the speed of movement, braking areas, conditions for passing bridges and tunnels, agreed with the controls railways on the unhindered progress of the echelon.

The railway track, somewhere in the Chita region, had a sharp turn. On this site, V.A. Lazaryan and E.P. Blokhin agreed in advance, back in Novosibirsk, to conduct a serious test during the transportation of the rocket and fasteners for strength. L.L. Podolsky, was in the driver's cab. When the echelon entered the turn, that is, on the section of the track with a curvilinear shape in plan, a command was received from Professor E.P. Blokhin sharply increase the speed.

An experienced, highly qualified machinist looked at L.L. with bewilderment. Podolsky: “How! On the bend and over a hundred kilometers?

Are they out of their minds?" But an order is an order and must be obeyed.

The locomotive pulled the cars forward. At this time, magazines, books, instruments flew from the tables in the laboratory car. M.E. could not stay on his feet.

Itin, hit the wall of the car E.V. Yuspin. Everything creaked, rattled, rattled. In this sound chaos, the calm voice of E.P. Blokhin:

"Everything goes according to plan! No worries! Keep an eye on the instruments!

At the next stop, the DIIT scientists, together with the engineers of the Southern Machine-Building Plant, carefully examined the rocket body, checked whether the fasteners were reliable.

Returning to Dnepropetrovsk, V.A. Lazaryan and E.P. Blokhin discussed the results of the work in the scientific team. As a result, detailed instructions were drawn up for the Southern Machine-Building Plant on ensuring the safe transportation of missiles.

Over time, the constant duty of rocket launchers as part of special echelons came into practice. The Cold War demanded that missile systems be the least vulnerable, which means they must be constantly on the move.

Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Ukrainian Studies A. I. Kulish In memory of a teacher, mentor, leader Years of study in his native DIIT, work and becoming a teacher in the Department of Structural Mechanics, as well as a researcher in the industry laboratory of dynamics and strength of rolling stock lead to the need for rethinking the path traveled and, of course, the need to analyze what has been done, what has been achieved, and which of the teachers and mentors contributed to what has been achieved.

Undoubtedly, the main role in deciding the issue of choosing a specialty in 1965 for young people, among whom was myself, was attractive in content and title - "Mathematical calculating instruments and devices", which was opened in 1961 at DIIT at the faculty of "Railway Electrification ". In solving this important issue (in the creation and development of computer technology in the Dnepropetrovsk region), a group of enthusiasts of this interesting beginning worked in our DIIT, headed by Vsevolod Arutyunovich Lazaryan, among whom was Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin.

In the second year in 1966, while studying the applied theory of elasticity, lectures were given to us by Vsevolod Arutyunovich, and Evgeny Petrovich helped us to master the skills of carrying out practical calculations for strength, stiffness, and stability in our group.

It so happened that when dividing the flow of third-year students of the Faculty of Computer Science according to specializations, my further destiny turned out to be connected with the Department of Structural Mechanics and the Branch Laboratory of Rolling Stock Dynamics and Strength.

Yevgeny Petrovich possessed those qualities that always corresponded to lecturers of high scientific qualifications and an unusually friendly attitude towards students. His students loved and sympathized with the recommendations when underprepared students were advised to improve their training in the relevant sections of the disciplines of dynamics, strength and stability.

Evgeniy Petrovich made a significant contribution to the organization of educational work at the Faculty of Computer Engineering, when it became necessary to resolve the issues of holding mass student cultural and mass or sports events.

Scientific work in the laboratory, which solved the problems of the longitudinal dynamics of trains, the interaction of track and rolling stock, the stability of the movement of rail vehicles, the dynamics and strength of units of the mainline, as well as industrial transport, captivated a number of students of the Faculty of Computer Science, among whom were, besides me : Ryzhov A.V., Granovsky R.B., Melnichuk N.A., Skalozub V.V., Masleeva L.G.

High scientific qualification of scientific supervisors at the level of execution of topics by E.P. Blokhin and Manashkina L.A. contributed to the successful preparation and defense of dissertations by the majority of graduates of this faculty for the scientific degrees of candidate of technical sciences.

Mutual relations in scientific and pedagogical joint work with Evgeny Petrovich developed democratically, on positions of mutual trust, which were then difficult to restore if the performance was not timely and worse if it was of poor quality. In such situations, it was necessary to promptly make corrections, report on corrections with appropriate justifications. Yevgeny Petrovich was strict and fair, but with appropriate justifications, he forgave and then did not recall the mistakes made in his work.

The merits of Yevgeny Petrovich are known and appropriately assessed. He is a Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, full member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences of Ukraine and the Academy of Transport of Ukraine, Corresponding Member of the International Engineering Academy, Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Ukrainian SSR, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology, laureate of the Academician A. N.

Dinnik, Honorary Railway Worker, Honorary Transport Worker of Ukraine.

In the last decade, Evgeny Petrovich entrusted me to carry out the work of organizing and executing the educational process at the department as his assistant, and during his business trips to act as head of the department. I consider this time to be a very instructive stage in my work and I think that in modern conditions it is difficult to find such a wise mentor and leader.

Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Structural Mechanics A. M. Bondarev Dedicated to the Teacher I first met Evgeny Petrovich at the Department of Theoretical Mechanics, when after the third year I was doing research practice there. Entering the department, Evgeny Petrovich immediately asked the topic of the practice, and when he heard that I would study the longitudinal dynamics of the train, he said: “This is the most interesting and wide area of ​​research in transport mechanics.” He, with his characteristic emotionality, told what interesting theoretical and experimental research is being carried out in this area in the research laboratory of the dynamics and strength of rolling stock, thereby determining for me the scientific side of my future work.

I remember a case when, while on a business trip in Moscow, he met with the rector of MIIT, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR V. G. Inozemtsev, who had a question about the longitudinal loading of a long freight train, on some cars of which the air distributors were turned off. Evgeny Petrovich in the telephone mode so clearly and comprehensibly set out to me the task and the corresponding initial data necessary for the calculation that three hours later I told him by telephone the highest values ​​of the longitudinal forces that were obtained as a result of numerical experiments. At the same time, it should be noted that at that time the calculation could be performed only at the computer center of the university and within the strictly allotted time. And if Yevgeny Petrovich had not agreed by telephone with Stelmakh V.K. (head of the DIIT Computer Center) on the urgent provision of the computer time I needed, I would not have been able to complete the task assigned to me. This fact indicates that Evgeny Petrovich not only set tasks for us, but also helped us to solve them.

Since the study of the longitudinal dynamics of the train was the closest topic for Evgeny Petrovich, I was lucky to participate under his leadership in many scientific works that were carried out by DIIT not only independently, but also with the participation of other organizations. The results of these works were used in the design of new types of draft gears and air distributors, in the development of methods for controlling the movement of ordinary and connected trains and the creation of appropriate regime maps, in the revision of the Construction Norms and Rules (SNiP -39.76), in the selection of parameters, created in DIIT auto autonomous control system for an auxiliary locomotive that is part of a connected train, when developing energy-saving methods of driving trains and creating, based on computer technology, simulators for training drivers, when creating systems for protecting tank boilers in case of emergencies.

Evgeny Petrovich was engaged not only in solving a wide range of scientific and practical problems in the field of train and railway vehicle dynamics, thereby continuing and strengthening the foundations of the scientific school that V. A. Lazaryan created, but also continued the tradition with his characteristic responsibility and enthusiasm holding International conferences at DIIT. These conferences arose from scientific and technical meetings that took place at DIIT. The first scientific and technical meeting on the topic "Scientific problems of high-speed transport", organized by the Scientific Council on the problem "General Mechanics" and the Dnepropetrovsk branch of the Institute of Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, was held in 1969. The meeting was chaired by the head of this Department, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor V. A. Lazaryan.

Scientists and researchers of the Dnepropetrovsk Institute of Transport Engineers and the Dnepropetrovsk Branch of the Institute of Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR took part in the First Scientific and Technical Meeting.

This was followed by two more scientific and technical meetings (1972 and 1974), at which reports were made by scientists not only from DIIT and the aforementioned Department, but also from Moscow, Leningrad and other cities of the country.

Beginning in 1977, scientific and technical conferences led by Vsevolod Arutyunovich Lazaryan were transformed into All-Union Conferences. The work of the first All-Union Conference was attended by representatives of 55 scientific research institutions, institutions of higher education and industrial enterprises of transport and transport engineering from 26 cities of the country. Of the 330 participants in the conference, there were Doctors of Sciences and 146 Candidates of Sciences. At the conference, reports were heard on the results of theoretical and experimental research on the problems of railway transport.

Since 1980, the first Vice-Rector of DIIT, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor E. P. Blokhin has become the chairman and organizer of such All-Union Conferences. These conferences, as before, were held on the basis of DIIT, but only on leap years, and "Problems of Railway Transport Mechanics" became their motto. The organizers of these conferences were DIIT and the Institute of Technical Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences, created on the basis of the Dnepropetrovsk Branch of the Institute of Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Since 1996, the All-Union Conferences have adopted the status of International Conferences. The circle of participants of these conferences has significantly expanded.

Now scientists and production workers from several countries (Belarus, Hungary, Germany, Israel, India, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, USA, Ukraine, Croatia, Sweden, South Africa, France) took part in the conferences. The range of tasks and problems to be solved has also increased significantly.

Evgeny Petrovich not only participated in the organization and holding of conferences at DIIT, but he himself often traveled to international symposiums and forums.

The scientific merits of E. P. Blokhin were widely recognized not only in the territory of the former Soviet Union, but also among foreign scientists.

He was a permanent member of the scientific committee of many international conferences on problems of railway transport, shared and exchanged scientific information with many foreign scientists, who showed a lively interest in his research activities.

The scientific heritage of Evgeny Petrovich exceeds 500 works and inventions published both in our country and abroad. The breadth of E. P. Blokhin's interests, his erudition, his fundamental demands on himself and his colleagues at work, and his devotion to the ideals of science can serve as a model for all scientific workers.

Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin was a prominent representative of those scientists typical of his generation, for whom work was not their life's work. She was just their life.

Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Structural Mechanics L. V. Ursulyak To Professor Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin on his birthday (May 2003) *** We will not specify what significant date Today this festive process is dedicated to;

“Culprit” (without words) we will embrace, To more clearly emphasize our interest in him !!!

You don't need a lot of phrases - the whole life is at a glance:

There is endless work from the first call Until late darkness;

and the pace is like a chase!

He, we see, keeps the pace, and his hand does not tremble!

We hear how assertively and passionately His speech from the podium or an ordinary “dispersal” sounds!

In papers and articles, how beautifully His transparent style is schooled and jargon is excluded!

Everyone knows about the train! Painfully familiar to him The block is a gentle creak, the controller click ...

And how much he drove in models and in kind All the rolling stock - here a beginner will shudder !!!

A charge of one hundred thousand volts boils, does not dry out!

Dynamics in everything, and static is a mirage!

And there is more than one vector - after all, even abroad, he managed to break in an elite crew!!!...

Scientific works - after all, the shelves bend from them Unable to withstand the pressure of his ideas !!!

He is absorbed in science and must plunge into the flow of its passions only “with his head”!!!

And on this May day (in addition to hugs) We want to wish: let the soul sing About the lanterns in the night and white acacia ... And the pace so as not to slow down, and move forward !!!

*** Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics L. G. Masleeva Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin is dedicated to the memory of the Teacher!

The legendary personality of DIIT... Since 1971, I have been studying in the student scientific society at the Department of Theoretical Mechanics and writing my thesis at this department. Evgeniy Petrovich Blokhin became the head of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics

since 1973. In 1976, Evgeny Petrovich received a postgraduate course and I was enrolled in his full-time department. After graduating from graduate school, I was sent as an assistant to this department. Thus, Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin was with me from the very beginning of my scientific and pedagogical career. I attended his lectures and practical classes, gaining experience with great pleasure. Yevgeny Petrovich gave lectures intelligibly and with articism, his extraordinary charisma did not leave anyone indifferent, but, on the contrary, carried away and called for him, these lectures were remembered for a long time.

Evgeny Petrovich was an extraordinary person outside of work: he sang, danced, joked. He had many friends throughout the Union. Even more were those who rightfully could call him their Teacher.

Time has passed, but you still can't believe that you won't see Blokhin running down the corridor again.

Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics V. A. Tatarinova To the rector of DIIT Alexander Pshinko, head of the department of structural mechanics Sergey Kostritsa, veterans of the V. Lazaryan school - Mikhail Leonidovich Korotenko, Iosif Gdalevich Barbas, Viktor Fedorovich Ushkalov, all old and new employees .

Together with you, I bow my head to the blessed memory of Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin.

I pray that his successors would be as successful in preserving Lazaryan's spirit - the spirit of creativity and mutual respect, as Evgeny Petrovich was successful in the difficult period of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

With best wishes from far abroad, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Evgeny Stambler About Evgeny Petrovich Blokhin I came across Evgeny Petrovich closely when I was on a course at the institute in 1993. Before that, I just reverently watched Professor Blokhin lecture on the strength of materials and marveled at his expressive manner of presenting the material, marveled at his mysterious vital energy, which poured out of him endlessly, splashing like a bright fountain on the audience.

It reminded me more of some kind of theatrical action, which, by the way, took place in a large amphitheater of a lecture hall in the presence of more than 200 people.

Today, is a diversified higher education institution, the only one among all railway universities in Ukraine, including those accredited to the IV level, which has the highest, according to the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education", the status of a national university. It is also the only Ukrainian higher education institution that trains the staff of officers of the train of troops and military communications of the armed forces.

History of the city. Encyclopedia St. Petersburg, Leningrad, Petrograd.

Railway Engineers Institute named after Academician Obraztsov 1809: Railway Engineers Institute named after Academician V. N. Obraztsov (LIIZhT) (Moskovsky Prospekt, 9), founded in 1809 as the Institute of the Corps of Railway Engineers (until 1864 a closed educational institution with a military organization, with 1864 civil institute). Until 1917 it had one faculty. In the 1929/30 academic year, there were 7 faculties, since 1924 it was called the Institute of Railway Engineers (LIIPS). In 1928, the Section of Interplanetary Communications was formed at the institute. In 1929-1931, a number of other transport universities were created on the basis of the faculties of LIIPS. Modern name since 1930. In 1949 it was named after VN Obraztsov. In 1954, it was merged with the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute of Railway Engineers (organized in 1937). At the institute (1990): faculties - mechanical, bridges and tunnels, construction, electro-mechanical, transportation management, electrical engineering. Branches in Murmansk and Vilnius, educational and consulting centers in Volkhov, Petrozavodsk, Tallinn. 50 departments, Research Institute of Bridges, 15 branch research laboratories; fundamental library (12 million items). There is a railway transport of the USSR museum. In the 1989/90 academic year, the institute had about 13,000 students and 800 teachers. During the existence of the institute, about 70 thousand engineers graduated, including over 60 thousand during the years of Soviet power. The activities of the institute are associated with the names of scientists and engineers: N. A. Belelyubsky, B. E. Vedeneev, Ya. O. Graftio (commemorative plaque), A. N. Krylov, G. D. Dubelir, S. Ya. Zhuk, D. I. Zhuravsky, S. V. Kerbedz, P. P. Melnikov, D. I. Mendeleev , V. N. Obraztsova, G. P. Perederia, E. O. Paton, and others. Many prominent public figures and revolutionaries studied here, including S. I. and M. I. Muravyov-Apostles, N. I. Kibalchich, S. D. Markov, A. M. Essen and others, writer N. G. Garin-Mikhailovsky. During the Great Patriotic War, the institute's specialists participated in the construction of the "Road of Life", carried out the tasks of the military command. He was awarded the Order of Lenin (1945), the Order of the October Revolution (1984). Publishes a collection of works (since 1884). Large-circulation newspaper Our Way (since 1928).

LIIZhT occupies the building of the former Yusupov Palace (115 Fontanka River Embankment) and buildings specially built for the Institute in 1823 (architect A. D. Getman), 1893-1895 (architect I. S. Kitner) on Zabalkansky (now Moscow) Avenue . In a large physical (now Lenin) auditorium of the Institute twice (in December 1917 and January 1918) V. I. Lenin spoke at the Extraordinary All-Russian Railway Congresses (memorial plaque). On the territory of the institute there is a monument to teachers, staff and students who died at the fronts and in besieged Leningrad (1969, sculptor A. G. Gakkel, architect I. G. Yavein).
