Preface
Short Bibliographical Presentation of Prof. Isaac Elishakoff
This book is dedicated to Prof. Isaac Elishakoff by his colleagues, friends and former students, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday.
Figure P.1. Prof. Isaac Elishakoff
Prof. Isaac Elishakoff is an international leading authority across a broad area of structural mechanics, including dynamics and stability, optimization and anti-optimization, probabilistic methods, analysis of structures with uncertainty, refined theories, functionally graded material structures, and nanostructures. He was born in Kutaisi, Republic of Georgia, on February 9, 1944.
