摘要

Vasilii Zakharovich Vlasov, the eminent scientist, has passed into the history of science as the originator of new scientific specializations in the mechanics of deformable media and in structural mechanics. He founded a unique international scientific school of structural mechanics, shell mechanics and the mechanics of thin-walled structures and systems, attended by his numerous students and followers - scientists and engineers from various countries throughout the world. He and his school obtained classic results that, over half a century later, remain the focus of attention of researchers and founders of new technology - in the building industry, in the aircraft industry, in rocket design, in surface and submarine shipbuilding, in the nuclear power industry, etc.
