Abstract
•Relevant contributions ascribed to Archimedes in Mechanics of Machinery•Presentation of Archimedes' works in Mechanism Design•Machines invented by Archimedes
Relevant contributions are ascribed to Archimedes as related to early developments in mechanics with application to mechanism design with a modern vision. Archimedes developed theoretical advances that were motivated by and applied to practical problems with an enthusiastic behaviour and with a modern spirit that can be summarized in his motto ‘Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth’. In this paper his contribution to mechanics is discussed as related to his results in designing and successfully operating mechanisms.
