Mechanics in the USSR for 50 years . General and Applied Mechanics", edited by L. and . Sedov and other authors, is a unique work that covers half a century of the development of mechanics in the Soviet Union. This publication is not only a scientific, but also a cultural monument, reflecting the achievements and challenges faced by scientists and engineers in the field of mechanics for five decades. The book explores key aspects of general and applied mechanics, from foundational theories to modern applications. The authors aim to show how mechanics has evolved, adapted to new conditions and technologies, as well as how it has influenced other scientific fields and practical applications. The reader will be able to see how the ideas and concepts developed in the USSR became the basis for many modern technologies and scientific research. This book will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as experienced professionals in the fields of mechanics, physics and engineering. It is suitable for those who want to understand more deeply how mechanics has developed in the context of Soviet science and what ideas and discoveries have become the basis for further research. Also, this edition will be useful to teachers who want to enrich their lectures with historical examples and achievements in the field of mechanics. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues, including dynamics, static mechanics, elasticity and plasticity theory, and mechanical systems and their applications in various industries. The authors emphasize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, showing how mechanics interacts with other sciences, such as mathematics, physics, and even biology. This makes the book especially valuable for those who are interested not only in mechanics, but also in its influence on other areas of knowledge. Style L. and . Sedov and his co-authors are distinguished by clarity and accessibility, which allows the reader to easily assimilate complex concepts. They masterfully combine theoretical calculations with practical examples, which makes the material not only informative, but also fascinating.
