Short biography of Anatoly Isakovich Lurie
After completing his grammar school education, Lurie studied at the faculty of physics and mechanics at Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and in 1925 became an assistant to the chair of theoretical mechanics at that establishment, later taking over there (1936–41). Although he had written no dissertation, Lurie was awarded the academic title of doctor of engineering sciences in 1939. Following the liberation of Leningrad, he returned to his Alma Mater, where he was director of the chair of dynamics and machine strength (later the chair for mechanics and control processes) from 1944 to 1977. At the same time, he worked as a consultant for industry. Lurie was the acknowledged head of the Leningrad school of mechanics, where L. G. Loitsyansky, G. I. Dzhanelidze and Y. G. Panovko were also active. He was elected a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1960. Lurie excelled in the fields of elastic theory, the theory of non-linear oscillations and the theory of plate and shell structures in particular.
