Sul controllo del meccanismo di collasso di controventi eccentrici
2007
The effectiveness of different non-linear static procedures, for the detection of the collapse mechanism of eccentric braced frames, is investigated. EBFs introduced into truss frame structures are considered. For such a typology of structures, plastic deformations are concen-trated in a single resistant element at each floor, greatly increasing the risk of the formation of soft storey mechanisms, even if the structure is designed according to the capacity design. The results of different non-linear static procedures are compared to those obtained by incremental dynamic non-linear analysis, considering a meaningful set of artificially generated stationary accelerograms, compatible with a ta…
Trapping of hydrogen and helium at dislocations in tungsten: anab initiostudy
2017
Retention of plasma gas components such as hydrogen (H) isotopes and helium (He) is one of the limiting factors in selection of plasma facing materials for future thermonuclear fusion devices. Tungsten (W) is one of the promising candidates for such materials and was chosen for the divertor armor for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the first wall material for the design of the demonstrational fusion power plant - DEMO. For the analytical estimation of accumulation of H/He components in tungsten, it is important to understand the relevant physical mechanisms of their trapping in the material and thoroughly parameterize them numerically. Experiments involving high …
La terapia ortesica nel trattamento della lombosciatalgia da ernia discale
2018
Le ortesi sono dispositivi finalizzati al recupero di una funzione corporea in quanto migliorano la biomeccanica, la funzionalità e la performance. Distinguiamo Corsetti dinamici, semirigidi e rigidi. Importante sottolineare che l'uso dei corsetti deve essere limitato soltanto nella fase acuta.
Recent Advances in Static Output-Feedback Controller Design with Applications to Vibration Control of Large Structures
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2014.3.4 Open Access In this paper, we present a novel two-step strategy for static output-feedback controller design. In the first step, an optimal state-feedback controller is obtained by means of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. In the second step, a transformation of the LMI variables is used to derive a suitable LMI formulation for the static output-feedback controller. This design strategy can be applied to a wide range of practical problems, including vibration control of large structures, control of oshore wind turbine…
NRTK, PPP or Static, That Is the Question. Testing Different Positioning Solutions for GNSS Survey
2021
Worldwide, the determination of the coordinates from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) survey (in Network Real Time Kinematic, Precise Point Positioning, or static mode) has been analysed in several scientific and technical applications. Many of those have been carried out to compare Precise Point Positioning (PPP), Network Real Time Kinematic (NRTK), and static modes’ solutions, usually, using the latter as the true or the most plausible solution. This approach is not always possible as the static mode solution depends on several parameters (baseline length, acquisition time, ionospheric, and tropospheric models, etc.) that must be considered to evaluate the accuracy of the metho…
The Static Stability of the Tropopause Region in Adiabatic Baroclinic Life Cycle Experiments
2011
Abstract The tropopause inversion layer (TIL) is a region of enhanced static stability just above the WMO-defined thermal tropopause. It is a ubiquitous feature in midlatitudes and is well characterized by observations. However, it is still lacking a satisfactory theoretical explanation. This study utilizes adiabatic baroclinic life cycle experiments to investigate dynamical mechanisms that lead to TIL formation. As the baroclinic wave grows, a strong TIL forms above anticyclonic anomalies, while no TIL is found above cyclonic anomalies; this is consistent with previous results. However, during the early growth phase there is no TIL in the global or zonal average: positive and negative anom…
An improvement of June-September rainfall forecasting in the Sahel based upon region April-May moist static energy content (1968-1997)
1999
This study provides statistical evidence that June–September Sahelian rainfall hindcasts currently based on oceanic thermal predictors apprehend more the negative trend than the interannual rainfall variations. Four physically meaningful predictors of June–September Sahel rainfall are first selected through the near-surface April–May information and several experimental hindcasts provided. We then discuss the skills achieved using regression techniques and cross-validated discriminant functions. In that context, 8/11 of the driest seasons and 8/10 of the wettest are correctly predicted. Finally using completely independent training and working periods we show that better and significant hin…
Analisi Statica non lineare per la valutazione della risposta sismica di strutture intelaiate irregolari in altezza e in pianta
INTERVENTI DI MIGLIORAMENTO SISMICO DEL PALAZZO BONAGIA DI PALERMO
2011
La memoria riguarda gli interventi progettati per la ricostruzione del Palazzo Bonagia sito in Via Alloro, nel centro storico di Palermo, che costituisce uno degli edifici più significativi dell’architettura civile tardo barocca siciliana e testimonia dei terribili danni inferti alla città dai bombardamenti del 1943, dall’incuria dei proprietari nel mantenere in vita le parti risparmiate dalla guerra e degli atti di vandalismo di cui sono stati oggetto un gran numero di monumenti. Nei primi anni del Settecento iniziò l'opera di successive aquisizioni di immobili, che vennero poi riuniti e riconfigurati attraverso un progetto unitario. La realizzazione del nuovo edificio venne commissionata …
