Career
Almansi earned his engineering degree in Turin in 1893 and mathematics in 1896. He was Vito Volterra's assistant and completed his habilitation in 1899 (libero docente) in mechanics and mathematical physics. From 1903 to 1910 he was professor at the University of Pavia and from 1912 to 1922 professor of mechanics at the University of La Sapienza . Since he felt exhausted, he resigned from his chair in 1922 and returned to his hometown of Florence, where he was scientifically active until 1937.
He dealt with the theory of elasticity, in which he was one of the first in Italy to consider non-linear problems, celestial mechanics, electrostatics and questions of analysis related to these areas. Occasionally the Euler-Almansi strain tensor is named after him and Leonhard Euler .
In 1911 he received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL . He was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei .
