Orazio Tedone
Orazio Tedone (born May 10, 1870 in Ruvo di Puglia , † April 18, 1922 in Pisa ) was an Italian applied mathematician (elasticity theory) and mathematical physicist.
Live and act
Tedone studied in Naples and at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (among others with Enrico Betti , Ulisse Dini , Vito Volterra , Luigi Bianchi ). He was then a professor at the Istituto Tecnico C.Cattaneo in Milan, and then professor of higher mechanics in Pavia. In 1899 he became professor of analysis in Genoa , from where he switched to the chair of rational mechanics in 1902 and to mathematical physics in 1906. In 1922 he accepted a chair for mathematical physics in Naples, but died beforehand in a train accident.
He dealt with questions of theoretical mechanics and elasticity theory, among other things with the movements of a liquid ellipsoid and he expanded Gustav Kirchhoff's formula for elastic vibrations. Tedone wrote the mathematical theory of elasticity section in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences . He also dealt with diffraction problems and Maxwell's theory of electrodynamics.
Since 1911 he was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei .
His collected works were published in 1956 (Edizioni Cremonese).
