The activity of the outstanding scientist-mechanic A. D. Kovalenko on organization of discussion of actual problems of mechanics at various scientifi c forums that took place in the period of 1942-1957 was investigated. The source of the research is determined. Documents from the personal archival fund of A. D. Kovalenko, deposited in the Institute of Archival Studies of VNLU, are analyzed. It is established that in 1942-1957 A. D. Kovalenko took part as a speaker in 56 scientifi c forums organized by the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, T. Shevchenko State University of Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk State University, Kharkiv Turbine Generator Plant, Southern Turbine Plant, personally by academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR A. M. Dynnyk, M. M. Afanasiev, A. D. Kovalenko himself and other Ukrainian scientists, as well as institutions of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, P. I. Baranov Central Institute of Aviation Motors, the Central Scientific Research Institute of Technology and Machine Building, the Committee for the Strength of the All-Union Scientifi c Engineering and Technical Society of Machine Builders, the Moscow Aviation Technological Institute, the State Union Plant No. 165 and the Kirov Plant in Leningrad. It was proved that the participation of A. D. Kovalenko in the work of scientifi c forums contributed to the establishment of a scientific and information exchange of theoretical and practical achievements in the fi eld of tension and rigidity of gas turbine engines among scientists of the USSR, its access to the level of international scientifi c cooperation. The high information potential of documents of the personal archival fund of the scientist as a source of research of the history of organization and holding of domestic scientifi c forums in the fi eld of mechanics was noted. |
