#Leonardo did some initial research in beam theory for #mechanisms; ASME member Roberto Ballarini at CWRU writes, “For the specific case he considered of a rectangular cross-section, [Leonardo] argues for equal tensile and compressive strains at the outer fibers, the existence of a neutral surface, and a linear strain distribution. Of course, [Leonardo] did not have available to him Hooke’s law and the calculus.”
