Biography

Grunauer was born in Krasnodar. During the war he worked as a turner, the serviceman at factories of the tank industry in Stalingrad and Barnaul. He graduated from the Kharkov mechanical-machine-building institute (1948). After the institute he worked as the chief of power station at Vyatsko-Polyansky house-building industrial complex (1948—1950), at the Kharkov autorepair factory (1950—1951). From 1951 he worked at the Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute as assistant professor (1951—1961), as associate professor (1961—1968), and then as full professor, Chairman of the department (1968—1993), and emeritus professor (1993—1994).

The main direction of Grunauer's scientific activity is regulation of internal combustion engines. On the basis of research he had prepared a course "Automatic control of internal combustion engine" that takes up the problems of working out of analytical methods in the theory of mechanisms and the machine focused on the computer of various types. He reported at all-Union and international conferences on multiple occasions and published more than 100 scientific works, including four monographies. He supervised over the preparation of two doctors and 10 candidates of sciences. He developed and read lecture courses "Mechanics of robots" and "Numerical methods in engineering practice". He provided read courses with the necessary educational and methodical literature.

He was a member of specialised academic councils for defense candidate and theses for a doctoral degree. He worked as the associate editor and the editor of the collection "Theory of mechanisms and machine". From 1994 until his death, Grunauer lived in Germany, Kaiserslautern. He was a foreign member of National committee of Ukraine on "Theory of mechanisms and machine" (1994). He was awarded a medal "for valorous work in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945".
