Abstract
Relevant contributions are ascribed to Archimedes as related to early developments in mechanics with application to mechanism design with a modern vision. Archimedes developed theoretical advances that were motivated by and applied to practical problems with an enthusiastic behaviour and with a modern spirit that can be summarized in his motto ‘Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth’. In this paper his contribution to mechanics is discussed as related to his results in designing and successfully operating mechanisms.File in questo prodotto:
