Reviews
“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 have been largely neglected up to now and presents historians and specialists a lot of detailed information.” (Karl-Heinz Schlote, zbMATH 1329.01002, 2016) “This book is a historical account of the contributions in the mechanics of solids by Italian scholars in the nineteenth century … . The book presents material that can be taken as a starting point by those who want to start a research program on a part of the history of mechanics which deserves attention and has not been extensively explored.” (Paolo Maria Mariano, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2015)
