Giovanni Antonio Galli combining theory and practice in his teaching method, and at that time unusual in teaching the subject in a medical and surgical school. He died in 1782. Citations Sources Giovanni Antonio Galli Giovanni Antonio Galli (1708–1782) was a physician who pioneered the teaching of obstetrics in Bologna using three-dimensional models. Giovanni Antonio Galli was born in 1708. He was appointed a Professor in the School of Surgery of the University of Bologna. Galli opened a school on obstetrics in his house. He encouraged Anna Morandi Manzolini, wife and assistant of the wax anatomical modeler Giovanni Manzolini, to give private lectures
Hypoelastic material Hypoelastic material In continuum mechanics, a hypoelastic material is an elastic material that has a constitutive model independent of finite strain measures except in the linearized case. Hypoelastic material models are distinct from hyperelastic material models (or standard elasticity models) in that, except under special circumstances, they cannot be derived from a strain energy density function. A hypoelastic material can be rigorously defined as one that is modeled using a constitutive equation satisfying the following two criteria: 1. The Cauchy stress formula_1 at time formula_2 depends only on the order in which the body has occupied its past configurations, but
