 FOUNDER IS SHABELNIK BORIS
Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine,
Doctor of Engineering
(1929 – 2004)

Borys Shabelnyk is an outstanding scientist in the field of agricultural mechanics. He was born on November 9, 1929, in Kharkiv in the family of a worker. He graduated from the Kharkiv Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture (1955) and headed the Berdyansk MTS workshop in the Kharkiv region (1956-1957). From 1957 to 1958 he was a mechanical engineer at the MTS department of the Kharkiv Regional Department of Agriculture. From 1959 to 1965 he was an engineer, senior engineer, group leader, and head of the laboratory of the Ukrainian Research Institute of Agricultural Engineering. Then he studied at the graduate school of KIMEA and in 1967 he defended his dissertation “Theoretical and experimental studies of the cam conveyor-cleaner of beet harvesters,” headed the Department of Mechanization of Livestock Farms (1968-1983). He founded a branch research laboratory of energy-saving working bodies of production and harvesting of root crops, was engaged in the development and theoretical substantiation of mechanized means of harvesting fodder beets. At the same time, he worked on the training of highly qualified personnel. Under his supervision, 7 candidate dissertations were prepared and defended.

In 1986 Shabelnyk B. defended his doctoral dissertation on “Development of the technological process and the creation of conveyors – cleaners of beet harvesters”.

The scientist paid special attention to the theoretical and experimental study of conveyors – root crop cleaners, as one of the main working bodies of beet harvesters. In theoretical research, he used original mathematical models that allowed to ensure the practical implementation of developments in production. His proposed design parameters of conveyors – cleaners were widely implemented in production (produced more than 50 thousand machines at the Ternopil combine plant).

The state highly appreciated the active educational and research work of Shabelnyk B., he was awarded the badge “For outstanding achievements in work” and the medal “Veteran of Labor”. For his personal contribution to the training of highly qualified specialists, development, and implementation of scientific achievements in 1992 he was awarded the honorary title of Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine. In 2000, he was included in the published series “Ukrainian agricultural scientists of the XX century. Scientists in the fields of mechanization, electrification, and reclamation.

Shabelnyk B. published 117 scientific papers and monographs and received 25 copyright certificates for inventions.

Under his leadership, the “Mayak 6” feed shop was built and equipped with the necessary machines. Such laboratories allowed to more closely combine the theory and practice of technological processes of livestock production, to increase the level of practical training of students. For this purpose, a branch of the department at the experimental farm “Kutuzivka” NGO “Plemelita” UAAS was established.

The large-scale and bright figure of the Honored Worker of Science and Technology, talented scientist and teacher Borys Shabelnyk will remain not only in the memory of all who knew him personally but will forever go down in the history of mechanical engineering.

He was a successor of the scientific school of Shabelnyk B. Ph.D., Professor Boyko Ivan (Head of the Department of ITF from 1983 to 2005). He had 148 publications, including 90 scientific and 36 educational and methodological, 3 textbooks edited by him and 6 textbooks co-authored, which are recommended for publication by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine > and 32 copyright certificates and patents. The direction of his research is aimed at creating energy-saving machines for grinding grain feed, their dosing, and mixing. Under his leadership, new designs of grain shredders, dispensers, and mixers of feed ingredients were developed. At the All-Ukrainian competition “Invention of the Year” in 2007 and 2009, the developments were made by Boyko I. and his students were awarded diplomas “The best invention of the year in agriculture”. According to the results of the research, the dissertations were defended by Sementsov Volodymyr, Shchur Taras, Rusalyov Oleksandr, and Merinets Natalia.

Professor Boyko I. supervised the post-graduate student Voitov Anton to obtain the degree of Candidate of Technical Sciences.

The second direction of scientific activity of the department “Substantiation of the infrastructure of technical service of machines in animal husbandry, technical and technological problems of production of livestock products” is headed by Professor Naumenko Alexander.

Under his leadership, the concept of technical service of machinery and equipment in animal husbandry was developed. Professor Naumenko OA prepared and published a textbook “Technical service in animal husbandry”, a course of lectures “Fundamentals of dealership”; developed a method of substantiation of the structure of technical centers, prepared and issued “Organizational and technological standards”, which received the “Gold Medal” of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia.

Alexander was the supervisor of scientific works of young scientists who defended their dissertations and work on pedagogical activities at the Institute of Technical Service KNTUA. These are Tikhonov Oleksandr, Ishchenko Kateryna, and Slavkova Larysa. Scientific activity continues.
