from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wadim Wassiljewitsch Sokolovsky ( Russian Вадим Васи́льевич Соколо́вский , often cited in English as VV Sokolovsky ; born October 17, 1912 in Kharkiv ; † January 8, 1978 ) was a Russian professor of mechanics.

Sokolowski graduated from the Moscow Institute of Structural Engineering in 1933 . From 1936 to 1939 he worked at the Mathematical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and then until 1965 at the Institute of Mechanics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. In addition, from 1947 to 1971 he was head of a department at the Moscow Physical-Technical Institute. From 1971 he was employed at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences. Since 1940 he had the title of professor.

Sokolowski was a leading Russian scientist in the field of plasticity theory , where he developed new analytical solution methods and which he applied to geotechnical problems ( granular matter ), for example earth pressure on retaining walls . His books had a great influence in the West too. He also dealt with shell theory .

He had been a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1946 . He was a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1959) and received the State Prize of the USSR in 1943 and 1952 .
