A. Rusakov was born in 1955 in the city of Rostov-on-Don (RF); graduated Rostov State University with a degree in physics. In the period of 1984 to 2001 he has been teaching 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 works in design organizations of Rostov-on-Don holding engineering positions, where he continues scientific investigation in construction design and educational activity with engineering personnel. His latest position is the chief designer at South Regional Scientific Research and Design Institute of City Planning (Rostov-on-Don). Professor Rusakov was the top lecturer on 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.
