This book examines the theoretical foundations underpinning the field of strength of materials/theory of elasticity, beginning from the origins of the modern theory of elasticity. While the focus is on the advances made within Italy during the nineteenth century, these achievements are framed within the overall European context. The vital contributions of Italian mathematicians, mathematical physicists and engineers in respect of the theory of elasticity, continuum mechanics, structural mechanics, the principle of least work and graphical methods in engineering are carefully explained and discussed. The book represents a work of historical research that primarily comprises original contributions and summaries of ... Read more

Reviews for The Problem of the Motion of Bodies. A Historical View of the Development of Classical Mechanics.
“The authors present an interesting investigation of the historical development of a domain that can be seen as part of applied mathematics or better of applied mechanics or of mathematics for engineers. … the book is primarily directed to engineers and historians … . It complements the existing historical studies with the developments in Italy in the 19th century that ... Read more
