Named in honor of Jacob Bernoulli (1654–1705, who first discovered that the curvature of an elastic beam at any point is proportional to the bending moment at that point), his nephew Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782, the first to formulate the differential equation of motion of a vibrating beam), Leonhard Euler (1707–1783, who later validated their theory) and, of course, Claude-Louis Navier (1785–1836), who first established the zero line of normal stress in 1819 and established in 1826 the elastic modulus as a property of materials independent of the second moment of area.
