Preface

In the 1960s, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST), two new areas of research and education were established, “Mining Machinery” and “Earthmoving Equipment”. Two pioneers of these new research directions were Profs. Henryk Hawrylak and Kazimierz Pieczonka, both closely connected to the University since the University was established in 1945. This book was compiled by their former students and co-workers to express the deep gratitude and fond memories about these two professors. The chapters in this book contain the examples of research created under either their direct supervision or initiated by them by offering new ideas. Professor Henryk Hawrylak, born in 1925, came to Wrocław in 1945, just after the end of the Second World War and started studying at the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. During his student years, he was very active, serving the academic community in the student organizations “Academic Guard” and “Brotherhood for H
