Sergey (Aleksandr) Ambartsumian (∗March 17, 1922, Gyumri, Armenia; †August 4, 2018, Yerevan, Armenia) was one of the founders of the scientific school of mechanics in Armenia and was an internationally recognized scientist who made outstanding contributions to continuum mechanics. His scientific interests spanned anisotropic plates and shells, magnetoelasticity and coupled electro-magneto-mechanical effects of thin structures, elastic solids showing strength-differential effect, micropolar and viscoelastic media, biomechanics, space exploration based on a new space elevator concept, smart material, and nanomaterials.

Education

Sergey A. Ambartsumian was born in Aleksandropol (now Gyumri) in Armenia in 1922. He graduated from Yerevan Polytechnic Institute (1942), where he received a candidate degree (PhD) in 1946. He received a degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences from the Institute of Problems of Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Moscow) in...
