Abstract

Dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the birth of Alexey N. Gerasimov, one of the initiators of Fractional Calculus in Solid Mechanics.

In the first part of this survey we provide a brief sketch of his life. In the second part, the scientific contributions of the Soviet mechanician A.N. Gerasimov are reviewed.

Editorial Note. In a survey [28] recently published in this journal, Sect. 5, we the authors have mistaken the first name of Alexey Gerasimov with the incorrect name Andrey. This was due to unsuccessful attempts to find it unabbreviated in the available literature and by queries among colleagues. Some Internet sources (in Russian language) gave us the first name of another, also Soviet scientist in Mechanics. We do apologize for this fault.
