Scientific and creative heritage of Georgy Aleksandrovich Geniev

Abstract

G.A. Geniev, the founder of a scientific school in the field of continuum mechanics, structural mechanics, the theory of elasticity and creep, and the theory of the movement of a granular medium, is presented in an analysis of publications from the galaxy of remarkable Soviet and Russian scientists of the second half of the twentieth century. The author's scientific publications are systematized by research areas, and cover more than 50 years of his scientific work. The analysis covers his research from his PhD thesis on the load-carrying capacity of eccentrically compressed rods made of elastoplastic materials to his doctoral dissertation on the dynamics of bulk media, revealing this major scientist's multifaceted talent. The analysis of G.A. Geniev's scientific publications is based on the method of formalized description of the facts that determine the current development of scientific research in the field under consideration, comparison, and systematization of the facts under study.
