The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT.
Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material.
We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026, but intermittent service interruptions may occur.
Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu with any questions.
Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

RECHERCHES THÉORIQUES ET EXPÉRIMENTALES Sur la force de torsion, & sur I'élasticité des fils de métal
(2022-06-24)This Memoir has two objectives: the first, to determine the elastic force of torsion of fil-aments of steel and of brass as a function of their length, their thickness, and their degree of tension. I have already had need, ... -
Construction et usage d'une balance électrique, fondée sur la propriété qu'ont les fils de métal, d'avoir une force de réaction de torsion proportionnelle à l'angle de torsion
(2022-06-24)In a memoir presented to the Academy, in 1784, I have determined from experiments the laws governing the torsional resistance of a filament of metal and I have found that this force is proportional to the angle of torsion, ...
