Antonio Signorini (2 April 1888 – 23 February 1963) was an influential Italian mathematical physicist and civil engineer of the 20th century.[1] He is known for his work in finite elasticity, thermoelasticity and for formulating the Signorini problem.

Life

Honors

He was awarded the gold medal of the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze detta dei XL in 1920, while he was working at the University of Palermo: the members of the judging commission were Luigi Bianchi, Guido Castelnuovo and Tullio Levi-Civita.[2]

In 1924, on 8 June, he was elected ordinary non resident member of the mathematics division[3] of the Accademia Pontaniana.[4]

On 30 May 1931 he was elected corresponding member of the Società Nazionale di Scienze, Lettere e Arti in Napoli: later on, precisely on 11 February 1933 and on 4 June 1949 he was elected, respectively, ordinary member and ordinary non resident member of the same academy.[5]

He was elected corresponding member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei on July 15, 1935, and then national member on February 4, 1947.[6] However, he was never awarded the royal prize of this academy, because he became a very early a member of it, thus losing the right to win a prize.[7]
