In 1958, he enrolled at the University of Science and Technology of China, where he majored in the Department of Modern Mechanics. He went to receive his master's degree from the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1966.
After graduation in 1966, Bai stayed at the Institute of Mechanics as an intern researcher. He moved up the ranks to become assistant researcher in 1979, associate researcher in 1982, and researcher in 1986. He was a visiting scholar at the Oxford University and Cambridge University from 1979 to 1981. In 1987, he was appointed deputy director of the Institute of Mechanics, and held that office until 1994. In 1998, he was proposed as president of the {{ill|Chinese Society of Theoretical Applied Mechanics|zh|中国力学学会}}, a position he held until 2002.
On 9 May 2024, Bai died in Beijing, at the age of 83.{{cite news |author1=Wu Zhichao ({{lang|zh|伍智超}}) |url=https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_27312048 |script-title=zh:我国著名力学家、中科院院士白以龙逝世，享年83岁 |work=thepaper |date=9 May 2024 |access-date=11 May 2024 |language=zh}}
