Vladimir Vasilyevich Bolotin

Wladimir Wassiljewitsch Bolotin ( Russian Влади́мир Васи́льевич Боло́тин ; born March 29, 1926 in Tambov ; † May 28, 2008 in Moscow ) was a Soviet - Russian mechanical engineer specializing in continuum mechanics and mechanics of solid bodies and a university lecturer.

Life

Bolotin studied at the Moscow State University of Transportation (MIIT) specializing in bridges and tunnels . After graduating in 1948, he was an aspirant . In 1950 he successfully defended his candidate dissertation and in 1952 his doctoral dissertation .

In 1953, Bolotin began his work at the Chair of Deformation Resistance of Materials in the Faculty of Energy and Mechanical Engineering of the Moscow Energy Institute (MEI) , which he headed from 1958 to 1996. In 1962 he directed the chair to investigate the dynamics and stability of machines (DPM), so that the chair was renamed accordingly in 1969. In the years 1960-1980 he was involved in application research in the field of aviation and aerospace , the shipbuilding and nuclear energy . In 1974 Bolotin became a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) (and full member in 1992). In 1980, in addition to his teaching activities, Bolotin became head of the Laboratory for Reliability and Durability of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the AN-SSSR. 1980–1985 he led the development of a new generation of state safety standards for technical objects. Under Bolotin's leadership, 20 doctoral dissertations and more than 150 candidate dissertations were created. Bolotin's students worked in many fields of science and technology (including Gazprom ). In 1996, Bolotin retired , but he continued to give lectures for the students. Bolotin had a perfect command of English and German , so he translated many of his works and books into these languages.

Bolotin contributed significantly to theoretical and applied mechanics, in particular to the theory of vibrations , stability theory , elasticity theory , structural mechanics , theory of the reliability and safety of machines and constructions, fracture mechanics and the theory of composite materials . He also used statistical and probabilistic methods to troubleshoot problems .

Bolotin died after a long illness and was buried in the Trojekurowo cemetery. He left behind his wife Kira Sergejewna Bolotina, lecturer at the Department of General Physics at MEI, and the twins Sergei, Professor at the Department of Theoretical Mechanics and Mechatronics at Lomonosov University, Moscow, and Juri, Professor for Applied Mechanics and Control at Lomonosov University.

In 2009, the DPM chair at MEI was named Bolotin Chair.
