Veniamin Iosifovich Goldfarb (Russian: Гольдфарб, Вениамин Иосифович; February 1, 1941 – November 12, 2019) was a Soviet scientist, Doctor of Technical Science, professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation who is known for his contribution in the field of gears.

Biography

[edit]

Veniamin Goldfarb was born in Izhevsk, Russia to Iosif and Esfir Goldfarb on February 1, 1941. After graduating from High School N30 in 1957,[3] he was accepted to Izhevsk Mechanical Institute, which he graduated from in 1962 with a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. He completed his PhD in Technical Sciences in 1969, as well as a Doctor of Science degree in 1986.

In 1988 he become a professor at Izhevsk Institute of Mechanics.[4] In 1994 Professor Goldfarb become a head of department and director of Institute of Mechanics within Izhevsk State Technical University. in 1998 he become a head of Gearing Technical Committee within International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM). After 10 years of active involvement he become a member of IFToMM's executive committee and later, in 2012, professor Goldfarb was elected to become a Vice-President of IFToMM.

Professor Goldfarb died at age 78. [5]

Scientific activities

[edit]

The main scientific developments of Prof. V.I. Goldfarb consisted of the classification and study of spatial gear schemes, rational structuring of the process of computer-aided design of worm gears, the development of a "non-differential" method for finding surfaces formed by enveloping, and the study of a variety of spiroid gears.[6]
