The author:

Leonid Borisovich Getsov is Chief Researcher at the Central Boiler and Turbine Institute. In 1953, he graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and at the same time Faculty of Physics, Leningrad University, and defended his Ph.D. thesis in 1962. Then, he was approved in the rank of senior researcher in the specialty "metallurgy and heat treatment of metals" in 1966. In 1979, he defended his doctoral dissertation (doctor of science). He has 70 years of experience in production engineering, research in various fields of mechanics and materials science (material modeling, properties of polycrystalline and single-crystal heat-resistant alloys under steady-state and non-stationary loading conditions, general strength problems) and teaching, including 20 years in higher educational institutions. Since 2022 he is retired.
