Gabrio Piola was an influential Italian mathematician and engineer known for his contributions to the fields of mechanics and continuum mechanics. He is particularly noted for the development of the Piola-Kirchhoff stress measures in continuum mechanics, which are used to describe the stress state in deformable bodies. The Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensors are important in the analysis of materials and structures under deformation and are particularly useful in finite element analysis.
