| Abstract |
Professor Victor Mikhailovich Alexandrov, a member of the Editorial Board of
the journal "Mechanics of Solids", Leading Researcher of the Institute for
Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Sciences
(Physics & Mathematics), Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, winner of
the State Prize of the Russian Federation, full member of the Russian Academy
of Natural Sciences (physics section), has celebrated his 70th birthday. He is
well known among scientists in the field of mechanics, both in Russia and
abroad.
He is a brilliant representative of the Rostov-on-Don school of scientists in
mechanics; he has studied from Academician I. I. Vorovich.
Main areas of his scientific activity cover mechanics of contact interaction
and fracture of solids; contact problems of tribology; stress concentration
near thin defects; problems of continuum mechanics with mixed boundary
conditions; and integral, integro-differential, and functional equations of
mathematical physics.
He is one of the founders of the new direction in the science of mechanics -
nonclassical problems of solid mechanics with mixed boundary conditions. He has
developed a number of effective numerical-analytical methods for solving such
problems.
Together with his students, he has investigated a number of topical issues:
contact problems for elastic bodies with complex geometry; contact problems for
linearly deformable solids with complex physical and mechanical properties;
contact problems of tribology and hermetology; strength of elastic bodies
with thin-walled stress concentrators; and problems of plates and shells that
are subject to mixed support conditions, have flaws, or interact with a
linearly deformable solid or fluid.
He is an author of more than 350 publications, among which there are 9
monographs.
He gives much attention to bringing up young scientists. He delivers a number
of original lecture courses in the Moscow Lomonosov State University. Thirty
Ph.D. dissertations have been carried out under his supervision. Seven of his
students have subsequently defended their Doctor-of-Science dissertations.
He manages much of organizing work in science. He is a member of a number of
scientific and dissertation councils, takes part in the organization of
scientific congresses and conferences.
He is a member of the Russian National Committee on Theoretical and Applied
Mechanics and National Committee on Tribology.
For his achievements in science he has been decorated with the Order of Honor.
His colleagues and students, together with the Editorial Board and editors of
the journal, are wishing him strong health and further advances in science. |
