Introduction

While setting the goals of the Mechanical Engineering PhD School of Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the following principles were taken into consideration. The predictable requirement based on the developing tendency of the technical background in agriculture and food industry is that the production and application of the machines and tools should be environment friendly, material and energy economical. On the other hand, it is important to organize the existing equipment to a logistical system and include ecological operation and recycling in the strategy of the research. In the strategy of the research some promoted new topics should be emphasized which serve the same up to-date production technologies while having less contact with the living world.
The global increase of agricultural production has to be realized in an ecological balance with a decreased volume of applied chemicals and energies. For sustainable development, it has a basic interest to decrease the polluting materials that are loaded in the environment and economize with resources.
Some typical research topics of the Doctoral School are as follows:
Mechanizations of animal husbandry and plant growing
Vehicle and tractor techniques, the off road running theory
Mechanics of structural and agricultural materials
Safety of machines
Tribology and techniques of lubrication
System of quality control, technical innovation and development
Technologies and tools of primary crop processing
Material and energy saving production technology
Operations of machines and systems
Maintenance machinery and recycling
Materials theology and structure of agricultural material sets
Physiologic effect of the electricity field
Computer Aided Engineering techniques
Separation techniques and equipment in crop processing
Building structure.
Energetic and physics of buildings
Energy and mass transport processes
Research of the energy sources in agriculture and in forestry
Alternative and renewable energy sources
