PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISKOLC
- A SHORT HISTORY

The University of Miskolc (Hungary) is an important center of research in Central Europe. Its parent university was founded by the empress Maria Teresia in Selmecbánya (today Banska Stiavnica, Slovakia) in 1735. After the first world war the legal predecessor of the University of Miskolc moved to Sopron (Hungary) where, in 1929, it started the series of university publications with the title

Publications of the Mining and Metallurgical Division of the Hungarian Academy of Mining and Forestry Engineering (Volumes I.-VI.).


From 1934 to 1947 the Institution had the name Faculty of Mining, Metallurgical and Forestry Engineering of the József Nádor University of Technology and Economical Sciences at Sopron. Accordingly the publications were given the title

Publications of the Mining and Metallurgical Engineering Division (Volumes VII.-XVI.).



For the last volume before 1950 -- due to a further change in the name of the Institution -- Technical University, Faculties of Mining, Metallurgical and Forestry Engineering, Publications of the Mining and Metallurgical Divisions was the title.

For some years after 1950 the Publications were temporarily suspended.

After the foundation of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Miskolc in 1949 and the movement of the Sopron Mining and Metallurgical Faculties to Miskolc the Publications restarted with the general title

Publications of the Technical University of Heavy Industry



in 1955. Four new series - Series A (Mining), Series B (Metallurgy), Series C (Machinery) and Series D (Natural Sciences) - were founded in 1976. These came out both in foreign languages (English, German and Russian) and in Hungarian.

In 1990, right after the foundation of some new faculties, the university was renamed to University of Miskolc. At the same time the structure of the Publications was reorganized so that it could follow the faculty structure. Accordingly three new series were established: Series E (Legal Sciences), Series F (Economical Sciences) Series G (Humanities and Social Sciences). The seven series are formed by some periodicals and such pub- lications which come out with various frequencies.

Papers on computational and applied mechanics were published in the

Publications of the University of Miskolc, Series D, Natural Sciences.



This series was given the name Natural Sciences, Mathematics in 1995. The name change reflects the fact that most of the papers published in the journal are of mathematical nature though papers on mechanics also come out.

The series

Publications of the University of Miskolc, Series C, Fundamental Engineering Sciences

founded in 1995 also published papers on mechanical issues. The present journal, which is published by the support of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering as a member of the Series C (Machinery), is the legal successor of the above journal.
