Isaac Elishakoff

J.M. Rubin Foundation Distinguished Professor of Structural Reliability, Safety and Security in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University.

Florida Atlantic University. Boca Raton, FL 33431-0991. USA

 

Major directions of specialization:

  • random vibrations, with special emphasis on continuous, homogeneous and composite beams, plates and shells and associated effects of refinements in theories and of cross-correlations;

  • nonlinear buckling of structures, with a new method to combine the results of experimental measurements of shell imperfections to predict the theoretical knockdown factors associated with different manufacturing processes;

  • structural reliability with elucidation of errors associated with various low-order approximations and human errors;

  • non-probabilistic theory for treating uncertainty in mechanics, namely, optimization and anti-optimization under uncertainty and, especially, its combination with stochastic modeling;

  • dynamic stability of structures with imperfections, in elastic or viscoelastic setting;

  • random vibrations and reliability of composite structures with attendant first book worldwide;

  • development of the improved finite element method for stochastic structures which has a non-perturbative nature;

  • stochastic linearization,

  • computerized symbolic algebra

    etc.
