Hydraulic-mechanical automatic transmission for agricultural vehicles

Scientists from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology of Gdańsk University of Technology have designed a hydraulic-mechanical automatic transmission for agricultural vehicles and working machines. It will allow for a smooth change of gear at low speed and a step change of gear in the range of high speeds.

A new method of corrosion monitoring

A new method of corrosion monitoring
Metal elements of ocean engineering structures are exposed to corrosion damage caused by contact with salt water. Corrosion can cover the entire surface of the tested structure, but it can also take the form of point damage, i.e. pits. Beata Zima, PhD, Eng. from the Institute of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology is working on creating such a method of monitoring the progress of destruction that allows to assess global damage and to detect potential cracks and pitting.

The project "Monitoring the technical condition of metal structures subjected to corrosion degradation" received PLN 1,063,460 in funding in the SONATA competition organized by the National Science Center.

A new specialization in offshore studies at GdańskTech in cooperation with PGE

A new specialization in offshore studies at GdańskTech in cooperation with PGE
Design and construction of marine power systems is a new specialization in the field of ocean engineering at Gdańsk University of Technology. Its main partner is PGE, which is implementing the project to build the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, the largest offshore wind farm in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.  

– One of the pillars of cooperation between business and science is setting new directions in education. In order to build the domestic offshore wind energy market, it is necessary to educate future experts. That is why we have started cooperation with Polish scientists and lecturers who will manage a new specialization at master's studies at Gdańsk University of Technology – said Wojciech Dąbrowski, president of the management board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna.
