STRENGTH OF MATERIALS AND THEORY OF ELASTICITY ...

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 work published in
journals. It is directed at those graduates in engineering  but also in architecture  who wish
to achieve a more global and critical view of the discipline and will also be invaluable for
all scholars of the history of mechanics.
