Acerca del autor
Alexander Ivanovich Rusakov has been engaged in scientific and teaching work in academic and design institutions for over years and continues his scientific research in construction design and publishes scientific papers and textbooks. A. Rusakov was born in 1955 in the city of Rostov-on-Don (RF), and graduated Rostov State University with a degree in physics. From 1984 to 2001 he taught at Rostov Military Institute of Rocket Forces, where he defended his candidate thesis in 1988 and then doctoral thesis in 1999. From 2001 to 2006 he held the chair in structural mechanics at Rostov State University of Transport Communication. From 2006 to 2013 Dr. Rusakov worked in design organizations of Rostov-on-Don, holding engineering positions where he continued scientific investigation in construction design and educational activity with engineering personnel. His latest position is as chief designer at South Regional Scientific Research and Design Institute of City Planning (Rostov-on-Don). Professor Rusakov was the top lecturer for a number of mathematical and technical courses as well as courses in mechanics, including mechanics of materials, structural mechanics, and theory of elasticity. He is the sole author of two books, Strength of Materials and Structural Mechanics. Some studies and research results by Dr. Rusakov are presented at the site http://www.rusakov.donpac.ru/index1.htm.
