In this paper preliminary works to the Screw Theory are reviewed with the aim to show the efforts in the XVIIIth century and some developments that can be still of current interest.
In this paper preliminary works to the Screw Theory are reviewed with
the aim to show the efforts in the XVIIIth century and some developments that can be still of current interest. In particular, the early works on rotation of a body by Jean Baptiste D’Alembert, Jean Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler, Paolo Frisi and Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange have been reviewed. An original contribution of this paper from historical viewpoint consists of having recognised that D’Alembert individuated rigorously the instantaneous axis of rotation in 1749; Frisi proved the theorem of composition of instantaneous rotations in 1759; Euler formulated the motion of rotation in a modern form in 1765; Lagrange treated the motion of rotation with mathematical formulation in 1788. Finally, in 1763 Giulio Mozzi wrote a treatise in which he formulated a first Theory of Screw.
