BRUEVICH, NIKOLAI GRIGQREVICH (Mechanical Engineer) 



N. G. Bruevich was born November 12, 1896 in Moscow. He 

 graduated from Moscow University in 1922 and from Moscow 

 Aviation Institute in 1930. In 1937 he received the degree of 

 Doctor of Technical Sciences and became professor. He joined 

 the teaching staff in 1929 of the Zhukovskii Academy of Military 

 and Air Engineering. In 1951 he began teaching at the Machine 

 Institute of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. During World 

 War II (1941-1945), he was in charge of evaluating and resolving 

 problems pertaining to aviation. He is a lieutenant general of 

 engineers. Since 1921 Bruevich has been a member of the 

 Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 1939 he was elected a 

 Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, 

 and in 1942 an Academician. 



In the 1930' s Bruevich developed, general methods of kine- 

 matic and kinetostatic analyses for plane and space mecha- 

 nisms. While working on computing machines and precision 

 movements of mechanisms, he established a theory of precision 

 in machinery. The application of this theory provides a rational 

 approach for planning and manufacturing mechanical devices 

 and precision instruments. He also instituted a course dealing 

 with working principles of computing machines.
