Biography (from J. Appl. Maths Mechs, Vol. 67, No. 3, pp 469-470, 2003):
Aleksei Uvovich Gol’denveizer, the great Russian scientist in the held of applied mathematics and mechanics, and founder of the modern mathematical theory of shells, has passed away. He was born on 12 January 1911 in Moscow. In 1931 he graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Department of Moscow State University, and from 1930 to 1941 he worked in the Narkomstroi Central Scientific Institute of Industrial Buildings. In 1941 he was called up for military service. In 1942-1952 he worked in aviation institutes (TsAGI and TsIAM). In 1943 he gained a Master’s degree in the technical sciences, and in 1949 a Doctor’s degree in physics and mathematics. In 1947-1952, he taught at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and in 1952-1960 he was Head of the Department of Higher Mathematics at the All-Union Correspondence Construction Engineering Institute. In 1959 he began work in the Academy of Sciences, which he continued until the last days of his life. From 1960 he was Head of the Department of the Theory of Shells at the Institute of Mechanics, and from 1965 he worked at the Institute of Problems of Mechanics, where for many years he headed the Department of Elasticity Theory, and in recent years he was a senior research fellow. He was a member of the National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from its inception, and took part in the publication of the journals Prikladnaya Matematika i Mekhanika, Izvestiya RAN Mekharlika Tverdogo Tela, and Non-linear Mechanics, and he was also the chief organizer of All-Union conferences on the theory of plates and shells. He was a winner of the B. G. Galerkin Prize of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1953) and the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology (1998). He was elected an honorary foreign member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1970) received the title of Honoured Scientist of Russia (1970), and was awarded orders and medals.
