Prof., Dr., Eng., B.Sc. Mathematician, DANILO P. RAKOVI, full-professor at the Faculties
of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, Ni, Kragujevac and Mostar, and the Faculties of Science in
Belgrade and Novi Sad
SUMMARY
Danilo Rakovi, a doctor of technical sciences and mathematician with a university degree, was
the founder of the first scientifically based courses of mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering in Belgrade. He also introduced courses on the subject of resistance of material, elasticity
theory, and oscillation theory all of which he taught, too. He was the author of many high-circulation
textbooks of high scientific level and good mathematical foundation. He introduced vector, matrix and
tensor calculus in the studies of mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade and,
later on, did the same at the mechanical engineering faculties in Ni, Kragujevac and Mostar. He enabled
the Faculty in Belgrade, and similar schools elsewhere, to produce highly qualified and educated
engineers which was one his greatest contributions. He wrote the first university textbook in Serbia on
oscillation theory containing his original accomplishments in the field. He achieved considerable
scientific results in the fields of elasticity theory and oscillation theory. With a good human resource base
at Ni Faculty, which he had set up, he started research work into the field of nonlinear mechanics. His
scientific work is important because in all of his projects he succeeded in connecting theories of elasticity
and oscillation, and engineering practice. He wrote 25 university textbooks which covered the entire field
of mechanics and related areas. Almost all of them had been reprinted several times, with some of them
having 20 reprints. His excellent textbooks were in use on the territory of the entire former Yugoslavia,
which was in tatters under the powerful influence of fascism during the Second World War. Thanks to
Professor Danilo Rakovi, the faculties of mechanical engineering of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
and all the other republics of the once unified Yugoslavia, which are now separate states, produced
excellent mechanical engineers. Rakovi was a patriot and an honourable man. He was the recipient of
the October award of the city of Ni for his contributions to the development of science at the citys
university.
This distinguished scientific figure of exquisite creative energy and inspired enthusiasm, a scholar
deeply attached to the Yugoslav and Serbian scientific and cultural heritage, and an exquisite pedagogue
of high moral principles is in the living memory of many generations of students whom he taught how to
learn and love mechanics, as a basic scientific branch of mechanical engineering either directly, through
his lectures, or through his various and numerous textbooks and compilation of problems. His disciples
and colleagues are glad that he had the ability to pass onto them his great enthusiasm permeated with his
sincere devotion for mechanics and his exquisite scientific eagerness.
Professor Danilo P. Rakovi was born in 1910, in Uice. Upon completing elementary school and
six grades of high school, he graduated from the Military Academy in 1930. As an engineering military
officer he enrolled in the department of mechanical and electrical engineering at the Faculty of
Engineering in Belgrade, in 1933. Having graduated in 1938, he enrolled in the department of theoretical
mathematics at the Faculty of Philosophy and graduated from it in 1941. As a graduate mechanical
engineer he was appointed assistant section head of the Military Technical Institute in aak. He
remained in that position during 1941. In 1942 he was appointed assistant at the Faculty of Engineering in
Belgrade where he earned hid doctorates degree in the same year, upon presenting his thesis entitled
Tangential Strains of Normally Profiled Beams.
Professor Rakovi lectured mechanics, strains of materials and oscillation theory at the faculties
of mechanical engineering in Belgrade, Ni, Kragujevac, Novi Sad and Mostar, as well as at the Faculty
of Science in Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, Faculty of Electronics in Ni, and at the
Military Technical College in Belgrade. More details on the research work of Professor Rakovi can be
found in the Belgrade University Bulletin no.75 of 1957, issued on the occasion of his appointment as a
full professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade. During his university career, he was
twice elected Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Belgrade University. In the
mechanical engineering department at the Faculty of Engineering in Ni, he lectured statistics, kinetics,

kinematics, dynamics, oscillation theory, resistance of material, theory of elasticity, as well as analytical
mechanics, theory of nonlinear oscillations and continuum mechanics at the postgraduate level. He was
the first head of the department of mechanics and automatics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in
Ni. He was an extremely inspired professor, scientist and practitioner much favoured among his students
and respected by his colleagues both as a professor and an engineer, because he knew how to relate
engineering theory to practice.
Professor Rakovi was a very fertile writer. While still in the military service he wrote five
professional papers. In the period before 1957, when he was appointed full professor, he published 26
scholarly papers. As a full professor he wrote 37 pieces of scientific work that were published in scientific
journals of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Polish Academy of Science, German Society of
Mechanics ZAMM and some other foreign journals. He took part in a number of scientific meetings in the
country and abroad. He reviewed papers for four leading referral journals in the world: Applied
Mechanics Review (USA), Mathematical Review (USA), Zentralblatt fr Mathematik (Germany) and
Referativnii urnal (Moscow). Professor Rakovi was a member of several professional and scientific
societies/association in the country and abroad, the GAMM being one of them. He initiated the
foundation of the Yugoslav Society of Mechanics during 1952.
He wrote a considerable number of university textbooks which ran through numerous editions.
Some of them still hold records as for the number of editions and copies printed within the group they
belong to. In addition, he wrote a series of textbooks on the subject of mechanics for secondary technical
schools, as well as a number of chapters in professional technical handbooks, mimeographed course
materials and textbooks for post-secondary schools of mechanical engineering. He also wrote several
textbooks for postgraduate studies.
Among the publications for postgraduate studies the following should be mentioned: Analytical
Mechanics, Theory of Elasticity and Tensor Calculus.
Most of his university textbooks and publications were at the time of their first edition the only
professional literature on the subject, in the Serbian language. So, his publications played an important
part in spreading of the knowledge in the field of technical mechanics among students, and mechanical
and other kinds of engineers in Serbia and Yugoslavia. It is particularly worth mentioning that he has
interpreted all the material by the most modern mathematical apparatus and has illustrated it by numerous
examples from the engineering practice. Many of the cited university publications are being reprinted
even nowadays and are still used by both students of engineering and engineers themselves.
Although it has been ten years since he left us, Professor Rakovi is still present among new
generations of students, and engineers, through his renowned textbooks that bear the memory of his
merits and which have also left an indelible imprint on the development of mechanical engineering
science and practice, and on the formation of many a generation of university professors. His life and
work have set an example to future generations of students educated at the University of Ni and provided
them with a creative impulse. He is an everlasting paradigm and a proof of how ones deeds can outlive
ones physical existence by far.
In 1962 Professor Rakovi, as the head of mechanics department at the Institute of
Mathematics of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, organized research work in four
different study groups, each one dealing with a particular subject, which were: Stability of motion supervised by Dr Veljko Vujii, Boundary layer theory - supervised by Dr Victor Saljnikov,
Problems of anisotropic incompatible materials with finite strain - supervised by Dr Rastko
Stojanovi and Optimal problems of mechanics -supervised by Prof. Dr. Danilo Rakovi.
According to records from the mechanical engineering faculties in Belgrade and Ni, as well as
those from the Zentralblatts data base, he traveled abroad on several occasions in order to participate in
international scientific gatherings or to expend his knowledge. In 1957 he went to Berlin to do his
specialization studies with a piece of work which was published in the Proceedings of the 20th
International Congress of Applied Mechanics. In September 1956, in Brussels, he participated in the
working of the said congress. He took part in international congresses of applied mathematics and
mechanics of the German society GAMM a few times: 1957 - in Hamburg and 1958 - in Saarbrcken.
Also, in 1959, 1961 and 1962 he was delegate of the Yugoslav Society of Mechanics. In 1963, in
Karlsruhe, he represented Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. In 1966, in
Darmstadt, he produced a scientific statement in the field of oscillation theory and in 1968 in Prague,

Czechoslovakia, he had a paper entitled Second order acceleration (jerk) for the relative motion of a body
expressed by a matrix method.
He also participated, several times, in the working of the International Conference of Nonlinear
Oscillation (ICNO): 1962 in Warsaw, as a delegate of the Council of Science of the Peoples Republic of
Serbia; 1969 in Kiev; 1972 in Krakow, at the 72 ICNO.
Between the 1963/64 and 1973/74 academic years he was Head of the mechanics section of the
mechanical engineering department at the Technical Faculty in Ni, while giving lectures on all subjects
from the mechanics group. Simultaneously, he taught mechanics at technical faculties in Kragujevac and
Mostar and, for a while, also the subject of applied mathematics at Novi Sad Faculty of Mathematics. He
accepted the position in Ni after being acquitted of the duty as a lecturer at the Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering in Belgrade. The said acquittal was brought in by the Faculty in Belgrade, and was registered
under the no. 67/8, in January 1964. Comments on the controversial decision are left to the others. For
further reference readers should look into the book (*).
In 1974/75 he was arrested in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and unjustly sentenced. Following the
experience, he worked on new editions of his high-circulation textbooks, out of which the 10th edition of
Mechanics I for university studies deserves a special mention as does the 15th edition of his handbook
containing tables from the strength of materials. Last months of his life he spent preparing his textbook
Elasticity Theory for publishing. It came out in 1985 but he did not live to see it.
He died, unexpectedly, on January 29, 1985 in Belgrade.

This distinguished scientific figure of exquisite creative energy and inspired enthusiasm, a scholar deeply
attached to the Yugoslav and Serbian scientific and cultural heritage and an exquisite pedagogist of high ethic
principles is in the living memory of many generations of students whom he taught how to learn and love
mechanics, as a basic scientific branch of mechanical engineering either directly, through his lectures, or through
his various and numerous textbooks and collections of problems. His disciples and colleagues are glad that he had
the ability to transmit to them his great enthusiasm permeated with his sincere devotion for mechanics and his
exquisite scientific eagerness.
Prof. Dr. Ing. Dipl. Math. Danilo P. RA[KOVI] was born in 1910 in U`ice. Upon completing elementary
school and six grades of high school, he graduated from the Military Academy in 1930. As an engineering military
officer he enrolled in the Department of Mechanical-Electrical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering in
Belgrade in 1933. Having graduated in 1938, he enrolled in the Department of Theoretical Mathematics of the
Faculty of Philosophy and graduated in 1941. As a graduate mechanical engineer he was appointed assistant section
head of the Military-Technical Institute in ^a~ak. He remained on that position during 1941. In 1942 he was
appointed assistant of the Faculty of Engineering in Belgrade where he earned his doctor's degree in 1944 upon the
defense of the thesis entitled: "Tangential strains of normally profiled beams".
Prof. Dr. Ing. Dipl. Math. Danilo P. RA[KOVI] lectured mechanics, strainght of materials and oscillation
theory at the faculties of mechanical engineering in Belgrade, Ni{, Kragujevac, Novi Sad and Mostar, as well as in
the Faculty of Science in Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, Faculty of Electronics in Ni{ and at the
Military-Technical College in Belgrade. More details on the research work of professor RA[KOVI] can be found
in the Belgrade University Bulletin no. 75 of 1957, issued on the occasion of his appointment as full professor at
the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade. During his university career he was twice elected Vice-Dean of
the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Belgrade University. In the Mechanical Engineering Department of
the Faculty of Engineering in Ni{, he lectured statistics, kinetics, kinematics, dynamics, oscillation theory,
resistance of materials, theory of elasticity, as well as analytical mechanics, theory of nonlinear oscillations and
continuum mechanics on the postgraduate level. He was the first head of Department of Mechanics and Automatics
of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ni{. He was an extremely inspired professor, scientist and practitioner
much favored among his students, respected by his colleagues both as a professor and an engineer, because he
knew to relate engineering theory and practice.
Professor Ra{kovi} was a very fertile writer. While still in military service he wrote five professional
papers. In the period before 1957, when he was appointed full professor, he published 26 scholarly papers. As a full
professor he wrote 37 scientific works published in the scientific journals of the Serbian Academy of Arts and
Sciences, Polish Academy of Science, German Society for Mechanics ZAMM and in other foreign journals. He
took part in a number of scientific meetings in the country and abroad. He reviewed papers for four leading referral
journals in the world: Applied Mechanics Review (USA), Mathematical Reviews (USA), Zentrablatt (Germany)

and Referativnii `urnal (Moscow). Professor Ra{kovi} was a member of several professional and scientific
societies/associations in the country and abroad, GAMM being one of them. He initiated the foundation of the
Yugoslav Society for Mechanics during 1952.
He wrote a considerable number of university textbooks which ran through numerous editions. Some of
them still hold records as for the number of editions and copies printed within the group they belong to. In addition,
he wrote a series of textbooks in the field of mechanics for secondary technical schools, as well as a number of
chapters in professional technical handbooks, mimeographed course materials and textbooks for post-secondary
schools of mechanical engineering. He also wrote several textbooks for postgraduate studies.
Among the publications for postgraduate studies the following should be mentioned: ANALYTICAL
MECHANICS, Theory of Elasticity and TENSOR CALCULUS.

Most of his university textbooks and publications were at the time of their first editions the only
professional literature in Serbian language in the field. So, his publications played an important part in spreading
the knowledge in the field of technical mechanics among the students and mechanical and other engineers in Serbia
and Yugoslavia. It is particularly worth mentioning that he has interpreted all his material by the most modern
mathematical apparatus and has illustrated it by numerous examples from the engineering practice. Many of the
cited university publications are reprinted even now and are still used by both students of engineering and engineers
themselves.
Although he has left us ten years ago, professor Rakovi is still present among the new generations of
students, as well as among the engineers through his distinguished textbooks bearing memory of his merits which
have left an indelible imprint on the development of mechanical engineering science and practice, as well as on the
formation of many a generation of university professors. His life and work set an example serving as a creative
impulse to the forth-coming generations educated at the University of Nis. He is an everlasting example and proof
that one's deeds can outlive one's physical existence by far.
