Nikolai Ivanovich Merzalow
Nikolai Ivanovich Merzalov , Russian Николай Иванович Мерцалов , English transcription Mercalov, (born March 3, 1866 in Tula ; † November 13, 1948 in Moscow ) was a Russian professor of mechanics and thermodynamics at the Moscow State Technical University (MSTU).
Merzalow was the son of a nobleman in Tula. He attended high school in Tula and almost relegated been because he distributed to other students revolutionary writings to the workers an arms factory. He studied from 1884 at the Lomonossow University in Moscow and graduated in 1888. He then went on to further training in machine factories in Germany and also attended the Dresden University of Technology . In 1892 he returned to Russia and studied at the Moscow Technical University with a degree in mechanical engineering in 1895. He then taught there, from 1899 as an associate professor and from 1913 to 1930 as a full professor. From 1898 he also taught as a private lecturer at Lomonossow University and from 1917 at the Agricultural University, since 1920 as a professor. The engineering department of the Agricultural College became the Moscow Institute for Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture in 1930, and Merzalov headed the theoretical and applied mechanics department there. From 1941 to 1943 his institute was evacuated to Chelyabinsk .
He found a new exact solution to a special case of the gyroscopic theory , published in 1946. He also dealt with kinematics and the theory of joint mechanisms, about which he published a book. Merzalow also examined the flywheel. In particular, he founded a theory of spatial mechanisms and spatial gears in Russia. He also dealt with the theory of lubrication.
In 1944 he became an Honored Scientist in the Russian Soviet Republic. He also received the Order of Lenin .
