| Abstract |
Alexander Yul'evich Ishlinskii, an outstanding scientist and
educator, a Full Member (Academician) of the Russian Academy
of Sciences, suddenly died on February 7, 2003.
We express our deep regret and present condolences to relatives,
friends, and successors of A. Yu. Ishlinskii.
Alexander Yul'evich Ishlinskii is the most brilliant representative
of the powerful pleiad of Russian scientists
of the second half of the 20th century in the field of mechanics.
He has been justly recognized one of the creators of
the school of instrument engineering in Russia and the theory
of inertial navigation. He is the author of fundamental
investigations in the field of statics amd dynamics of an elastic
body and solids with imperfect elasticity, theory of stability
of deformable solids, theory of plasticity, and mathematical physics.
Research works by A. Yu. Ishlinskii have underlain new directions
of theoretical and applied investigations in a number of areas
of modern engineering. He is known to anybody who deals with
scientific problems in mechanics and education in this field.
He was one of the founders and the first director of the Scientific
Research Institute of Mechanics at Moscow State University
and the founder of the most authoritative scientific institution in the
field of mechanics-Institute for Problems in Mechanics
of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was the director of this
Institute from 1964 to 1990.
As an educator, Alexander Yul'evich was closely connected
with the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics
of Moscow State University at which he headed the Chair of Applied
Mechanics for almost 50 years. The graduates from this chair
are experts in mechanics of high professional qualification.
Among the former students of Alexander Yul'evich, there are
experts of all levels-from Ph.D. to Full Members of the Russian
Academy of Sciences.
A. Yu. Ishlinskii had always been in the center of
scientific and social life and its active participant.
He was the first President of All-Union Council of Scientific
and Engineering Societies, President of the World Federation
of Engineering Organizations, and Vice-President of the World Federation
of Scientists. During many years he had been the Chairman
of the Scientific Council on Theoretical Mechanics.
A scientific authority and intelligence of Alexander Yul'evich
brought him an international recognition. He was a Foreign Member
of Academies of Sciences of Poland and Czech Republic and Engineering
Academies of Great Britain and Mexico.
Those who have had a pleasure to communicate with Alexander Yul'evich,
will remember him as a correct and benevolent man of principle
distinguished by an astonishing intuition, fine sense
of humor, and delicacy.
Until his last days, Alexander Yul'evich had been the Editor-in-Chief
of the journal "Izvestiya AN. Mekhanika Tverdogo Tela" (translated into
English as "Mechanics of Solids"). He would have been 90 on
August 6, 2003. Issue 4 of our journal will be devoted to the memory of
Alexander Yul'evich Ishlinskii. |
