L’ A B S I D E. COSTRUZIONE E GEOMETRIE
2015
Le absidi costituiscono solitamente la prima parte di una fabbrica che viene posta in opera. L'aspettativa di tempi lunghi del cantiere spinge a realizzare immediatamente opere fastose e decorate in grado di gratificare committenti che non vedranno mai conclusi i lavori. Dal punto di vista geometrico i progetti prodotti nell'Europa del Sud hanno seguito, nei secoli, schemi per lo più convenzionali (strutture semicircolari, quadrangolari o generate da poligoni ottagonali) ma non mancano le eccezioni e i tentativi di definire soluzioni alternative (valgano per tutte la struttura treboladas castigliane, la scelta di usare l'abside come base per un campanile o le conformazioni derivanti da poli…
Absorption kinetics and swelling stresses in hydrothermally aged epoxies investigated by photoelastic image analysis
2015
Abstract The present work proposes an experimental optical methodology able to measure the transient swelling stresses induced by the water uptake ageing of polymers. In particular, the work describes the implementation of a Photoelastic technique to quantify internal stresses arising during the hydrothermal ageing of cast epoxy samples. The material investigated is a model DGEBA/DDS epoxy system. Curing and post-curing cycles have been optimised in order to obtain a fully cured, high T g , and completely stress free initial condition. Rectangular beam samples were then left in a hydrothermal bath at 90 °C, and regularly monitored by gravimetric and photoelastic analyses. The quantitative e…
Numerical simulations demonstrate that the double tapering of the spatualae of lizards and insects maximize both detachment resistance and stability
2011
Many biological attachment devices of insects, spiders and geckos consist of arrays of hairs (setae), which are terminated by contact elements of different shapes. However, the most frequently observed shape is a thin plate-like spatula. In spite of a rather wide range of sizes, most spatulae of different animals are not uniform, but rather possess a gradient in thickness and width. Here we show that the spatulae of insects and geckos become gradually thinner and wider approaching the end. This geometrical effect is explained in the present paper, by using a numerical approach for the modelling of the van der Waals adhesion and friction between the contact elements and the substrate. The ap…
Una prassi di senso. Su L'Adorazione di Jean-luc Nancy
2013
L'adorazione è il titolo del volume che segue a La dischiusa. Decostruzione del Cristianesimo I e che rende compiuta la decontrazione del Cristianesimo di Jean lui Nancy. Essa va dunque pensata in rapporto all'apertura della ragione e al Cristianesimo dischiuso. L'autrice descrive l'adorazione come il fiore o il frutto della decontrazione, volendo rendere con questa espressione, il fatto che in essa è in gioco il divenire, da parte del pensiero, "condotta", prassi di senso, relazione con la totalità dell'ente.
Mechanics of pericardial effusion: A simulation study
2015
Pericardial effusion is a pathological accumulation of fluid within pericardial cavity, which may compress heart chambers with hemodynamic impairment. We sought to determine the mechanics underlying the physiology of the hemodynamic impairment due to pericardial effusion using patient-specific computational modeling. Computational models of left ventricle and right ventricle were based on magnetic resonance images obtained from patients with pericardial effusion and controls. Myocardial material parameters were adjusted, so that volumes of ventricular chambers and pericardial effusion agreed with magnetic resonance imaging data. End-diastolic and end-systolic pressure–volume relationships …

Influence of Joint Geometry on Micro and Macro Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Spot Welded Joints
2014
AbstractSpot welding can be considered a very common joining technique in automotive and transportation industries as it permits to obtain effective lap-joints with short process times and what is more it is easily developed through robots and automated systems. Recently, Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) has been proposed as a natural evolution of the already known Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, allowing to obtain sound spot joints that do not suffer from the insurgence of typical welding defects due to the melting of the base material. Similarly to FSW, both geometrical and technological parameters must be considered as they affect the material flow and the heat flux generated durin…
Antonio Belguardo. Un maestro nella Palermo tra XV e XVI secolo: il regesto documentario
2016
Le informazioni documentarie emerse in questi ultimi anni sulla figura di Antonio Belguardo permettono di tracciare con maggiore compiutezza il profilo biografico e la parabola professionale di uno dei più prolifici protagonisti della stagione tardogotica dell’architettura siciliana; la sua attività, per quanto sinora noto, si concentra prevalentemente a Palermo tra l’ultimo quarto del XV secolo e i primi decenni del XVI. New documents that have come to light on Antonio Belguardo allow us to draw a more complete biographic profile of one of the most prolific protagonists of Late Gothic Sicilian architecture; His activity, as far as we know, was mainly carried out in Palermo, between the las…
Predicting Outcome of Aortic Dissection with Patent False Lumen by Computational Flow Analysis
2014
Although Type B aortic dissection (AoD) has better in-hospital survival than Type A AoD, the short- and long term outcome for patients remains challenging, with 50–80% deaths at 5-years. Dissection-related complications include rapid aortic expansion, impending rupture, and malperfusion syndromes. We aimed to assess hemodynamic implications of patients with patent false lumen (FL) of dissected aorta. Computational fluid dynamic analyses were performed on patient-specific aortic geometries reconstructed from computed tomography scans of 25 patients with AoDs, who were admitted in our hospital from 2007 to 2013. We used the development of acute complications and chronic aneurysmal evolution a…
