Zhang, a native of Changjia Town, Qingyun County, Shandong Province,1934+June 2004 141October was born in a revolutionary family. When he was a child, when the Japanese invaders invaded China, at the age of 4, he became a small guerrilla for the mother of the president of the District Women's Rescue Association, and fought against the Japanese devils in the border areas of Jinnan, Hebei and Shandong. Mother's strict discipline and harsh guerrilla life have made Zhang independent, confident, resolute, courageous, cautious, alert and resourceful. No matter what he is looking for, he must stick to it. During the war, Zhang didn't go to school formally. He completed the cultural enlightenment education in his mother's party affairs training class. 1950, 16-year-old Zhang came to Chongqing with his mother and was reunited with his father, who was already a division-level cadre of the PLA. His father proudly led him to meet his old comrades-in-arms, and his uncles, both generals of the People's Liberation Army, spoke their hearts earnestly: "Son, we have laid the world, but we are louts, and the construction of a new China depends on you. You should learn technology. " These words are firmly in Zhang's mind, inspiring him to become an outstanding engineer in building the motherland and benefiting the people.

After the national liberation, his parents were transferred to work in Yunnan, and Zhang studied alone in Chongqing. As long as there is a little gap, he slips out of the school gate and visits the bookstore. He spends most of his time reading extra-curricular books and has a great interest in ship knowledge. Zhang Yanbing wrote in his essay "My Ideal" when he was admitted to college: "I will build ships in the future and let many big ships I built travel around the world." It is with this belief and ideal that in 1955, when Zhang, who was under 2 1 year old, chose to study in the former Soviet Union, he solemnly wrote the word "shipbuilding" in the first volunteer column, the word "shipbuilding" in the second volunteer column and the word "shipbuilding" in the third volunteer column. 1960 Zhang returned to China after studying in the shipbuilding department of Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute of the former Soviet Union for five years, and joined the shipbuilding industry, creating one shipbuilding "myth" after another and setting up one shipbuilding milestone after another.

1965 is the director of the Atlantic Shipyard of the French Ministry of Communications. 1969 served as the chief designer of Xiang Yanghong No.5, successfully coordinated and solved major technical problems such as increasing endurance, ballast and typhoon resistance, carried out the first ocean survey in China's history, withstood the test of strong typhoon, and successfully completed the task; In the first full flight test of launching a long-range launch vehicle in the Pacific Ocean, the ship was selected as the flagship of the task force. 1979 the ship won the third prize of major scientific and technological achievements of the commission of science, technology and industry for national defense. 1971-1979 designed13,000-ton ocean-going survey ship "Xiang Yanghong 10", which creatively solved the sharp contradiction between the special wind resistance of the survey ship, the requirements for the stability and seakeeping of the offshore survey ship, and the electromagnetic compatibility of typhoon resistance and high-power transceiver. 1980 won the first prize of the overall design of major scientific and technological achievements of the commission of science, technology and industry for national defense, and 1985 won the special prize of national scientific and technological progress. He presided over the design of an ocean-going electronic technology reconnaissance ship, which solved a series of technical problems affecting the ship's rapidity and seakeeping, making its index surpass that of similar ships in the United States and reach the international advanced level. Participated in the eighth Antarctic expedition in China, put forward the key technology research topic of China icebreaker, and completed the research demonstration and scheme design of two types of icebreakers for the first time.

1984165438+1On October 20th, the "10" designed by Zhang set sail from Shanghai Port and started China's first Antarctic scientific expedition. "Xiang Yanghong 10" ocean-going scientific research ship is the first polar scientific research ship designed and manufactured by the Chinese nation. It has made great contributions to the establishment of China Antarctic Great Wall Station and the successful completion of the first Antarctic scientific research, and won honor for the motherland.

199 1 year 1 1 month to1April, 1992, during the eighth Antarctic expedition in China, Zhang, then a researcher at the 708 Research Institute of the Seventh Academy of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, and three other ship experts went to the South Pole on the "Polar" research ship. They overcame adverse reactions such as seasickness and vomiting, regardless of personal safety, and insisted on conducting various scientific investigations on the ship throughout the voyage, especially in the Antarctic sea ice area where there are many icebergs and dangers, which provided a lot of scientific data for the rational transformation of China's ocean-going research ships.

The chief designer and developer of China's first polar scientific research ship "Xiang Yanghong 10" and the first all-electric propulsion ship "China Patrol 83" is Zhang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering. He is an authoritative expert with rich practical experience in the field of research and design of China's marine scientific research vessels, and has made outstanding contributions to China's shipbuilding and marine undertakings.

199365438+In February, Zhang was dispatched by the National Antarctic Survey Committee and the State Oceanic Administration, and led a group of experts to Hellson Shipyard, Ukraine, and conducted technical supervision and acceptance of the icebreaker "Snow Dragon" for more than four months, successfully completing the purchase and supervision of the ship. Later, he presided over the renovation project of major technologies such as the large helicopter platform, multidisciplinary research laboratory and crew accommodation of the "Snow Dragon" icebreaker, which made China's first polar sailing "Snow Dragon" with advanced navigation equipment, endurance of 20,000 nautical miles and full displacement of 22,000 tons jump to the forefront of the world polar research ship. Since 1994, China 12, the icebreaker "Snow Dragon" has successfully completed eight Antarctic expeditions and two Arctic expeditions, with a cumulative voyage of 360,000 kilometers, which is the first in the history of navigation in China.

In the long-term ship research and design, Zhang participated in and presided over more than 50 types of ship design work. In particular, the multi-type ship designed and built by him as the chief designer is independently developed for the first time in China, which is not only complicated in structure, technically difficult, but also risky. However, all the achievements were a complete success, which creatively solved a series of key technical problems, such as the special wind-resistant calibration of marine survey vessels, the sharp contradiction between marine survey work and typhoon resistance on ship stability and seakeeping, electromagnetic compatibility of high-power short-wave transceiver, modular combination of large helicopters on board, and so on, which was the research cause of the motherland's ships. Zhang has won more than 30 awards, including the national special prize for scientific and technological progress. 1995 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Engineering.

Academician Zhang died in Shanghai at 8: 20 on August 2, 20 12 at the age of 78.
