Antonio Signorini and the proto-history of the non-linear theory of elasticity
Archive for History of Exact Sciences 78 (4):375-400 (2024)
Abstract
Antonio Signorini’s contribution to the constitutive theory of non-linear elasticity is reconstructed and analyzed. Some uninformed opinions suggesting he had a minor role, lacking of significant results, are discussed and refuted. It is shown that Signorini should be rightly credited for being among the first scholars aware of the central problem of non-linear elasticity: the determination of the general form of the elastic potential.Other Versions
