Institute of Modern Machinery

1. Team Profile

The Institute of Modern Machinery, affiliated with the School of Mechatronical Engineering of Harbin Engineering University, was founded in 1990, and formerly known as the Mechanical Fundamentals Teaching and Research Center. The technical team is composed of backbone teachers in the field of mechanical design and theory as the core. The research group currently has 11 teachers, including 3 professors, 1 senior engineer, 3 associate professors, 2 lecturers, and 1 experimenter. There are more than thirty sets of experimental equipment available, including a low-speed sliding bearing lubrication test bench, a high-speed sliding bearing lubrication test bench, a rolling bearing lubrication test bench, a gear lubrication test bench, and a friction torque tester, which is self-designed. These equipments can analyze and test speed, load, the pressure and temperature of the oil film or oil gas mixed lubrication.

2. Fundamentals of Scientific Research

The Institute of Modern Mechanical Drive System Technique, affiliated with  the School of Mechatronical Engineering of Harbin Engineering University has undergone more than 20 years of development, especially over 10 years during the 12th and 13th Five Year Plans. It has initially established a focus on ship and ocean engineering needs, while also serving fields such as mechanical equipment manufacturing. Research directions mainly include multiphase lubrication technology, surface coating modification technology for mechanical components, mechanics, marine renewable energy development, ship deck machinery, etc. The team has successively undertaken key projects of the National Science and Technology Support Program, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the National Key R&D Program, the National Marine Energy Special Project, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology High tech Ship Project. It has also undertaken projects such as the "Eighth Five Year Plan", "Ninth Five Year Plan", "Fifteenth Five Year Plan", and "Eleventh Five Year Plan" naval pre research projects.

3. Landmark Achievement
