Professor Evgeny Oscarovich Paton (5 March 1870 – 12 July 1953; Ukrainian: Євген Оскарович Патон, Yevhen Oskarovych Paton) was a Soviet Ukrainian engineer who established the E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute in Kiev. He was the father of Borys Paton.
Eugeny Paton was a pioneer researcher of the new joining – welding technology for the materials. Evgeny Paton created the methods of design of rational bridge spans, investigated the conditions of their operation, and suggested the methods to restore the damaged bridges. He carried out the research on calculation and strength of welded structures, mechanization of welding processes, and fundamentals of welding. He supervised the development of the method of automatic submerged arc welding. During the World War II Evgeny Paton supervised the design and production of the equipment and technology of the automatic welding of special steels, tanks, bombs, etc.
In Kiev in 1953 a fully welded steel construction Paton Bridge was built using technology developed by Evgeny Paton.
Yuri Vasilievich Kondratyuk (June 21, 1897–1942), a Ukrainian pioneer of astronautics and spaceflight. He was a theoretician and a visionary who, in the early twentieth century, foresaw ways of reaching the moon. He used an adopted pseudonym, while his birth name was Oleksandr Gnatovich Shargei.
Stephen P. Timoshenko (Ukrainian: Степан Прокопович Тимошенко, also written as (transliterated: Stepan Prokopovych Tymoshenko), December 22, 1878 – May 29, 1972), is reputed to be the father of modern engineering mechanics. He wrote many of the seminal works in the areas of engineering mechanics, elasticity and strength of materials, many of which are still widely used today.
Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov, (12 January 1907, Zhytomyr, Ukraine – 14 January 1966, Moscow, Russia), was the pioneer aerospace engineer and the lead Soviet rocket engineer and spacecraft designer during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. He is considered by many as the father of practical astronautics.
