BIOGRAPHY AND CAREER:
Professor Nikolai Aleksandrovich Solovei was born on Septrmber 21, 1946 in Kyiv, Ukraine, in a family of civil engineers and architects. Continuing the family tradition, he entered the Kyiv Civil Engineering Institute, now Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, in 1964. Since then, his whole life was connected with University.

Professor Nikolai A. Solovei died on March 31, 2014.
MAIN RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Nonlinear theory of flexible elastic inhomogeneous shells under static action of thermomechanical loads; numerical research of thermoelastic deformation and buckling of a wide class of thin shells of inhomogeneous structure; algorithmization of computational processes, development of computer systems.
GENERAL FIELDS OF WORK:
Prof. Solovei made a significant contribution to the development and solution of the problems faced by modern structural mechanics – the development of theoretical principles, a general method and computational procedures for numerical study of stability and buckling of a wide class of thin elastic inhomogeneous shells with complex shape and structure subjected to mechanical and thermal loads. He developed the new universal spatial ISO-parametric finite element with additional variable parameters.
It had allowed developing a unified design model that describes the multilayer structure of a material and geometrical features of structural elements of flexible shells of complex shape. These geometrical features include casing of varying thickness, ribs, cover plates, cavities, channels, holes, sharp bends of the mid-surface, a multilayer structure material with the ability to track its curvilinear anisotropy.
He developed an efficient iterative algorithm for solving problems of nonlinear deformation, buckling, and postbuckling behavior of thin inhomogeneous shells under thermo-mechanical loading. Procedures for the identification of singular (branching and critical) points on the “load–deflection” curve and the automatic correction of algorithm parameters were implemented. The joint action of mechanical and temperature fields on a shell was considered as a single process for which relations between the load parameter and the parameters of the temperature and mechanical fields were given.
