Giulio Mozzi (1730–1813)

  • Chapter
Distinguished Figures in Mechanism and Machine Science

Part of the book series: History of Mechanism and Machine Science ((HMMS,volume 1))

Abstract

Giulio Mozzi was the first to attack the study of the general helicoidal motion of a rigid body in a completely rigorous way. He outlined a Screw Theory with a mathematical formulation in a Treatise that was published in 1763 but had a limited circulation.
