Communication design for culture. Languages to allow a dialogue between assets, territories and users / Il design della comunicazione per la cultura.…
2011
Il tema della comunicazione della cultura è di estrema attualità e importanza, ma anche in continua trasformazione come si evince in particolar modo da tre fattori rilevanti, che riguardano direttamente gli attori principali: una progressiva apertura degli enti e delle istituzioni culturali verso il sistema dei fruitori; una continua riorganizzazione della struttura dei patrimoni secondo criteri consolidati ma anche possibili contaminazioni; una crescente domanda di cultura da parte dei fruitori stessi, abbinata a una loro maggiore disponibilità in termini di tempo, di spostamenti, di istanze. Il design della comunicazione visiva e i suoi strumenti progettuali (che si estendono dai sistemi …
Communication Design for the Dissemination of Scientific Knowledge. Languages, Tools, Technologies, Collaborative Processes for Museum Education
2019
Il testo propone l’analisi di un articolato processo di ricerca-azione, avviato in occasione di alcune sperimentazioni didattico-scientifiche nate dalla collaborazione tra le discipline del design, della rappresentazione multimediale, delle scienze botaniche nell’Università di Palermo. L’esperienza proposta è stata centrata sulla comunicazione scientifica e sull’elaborazione di prodotti comunicativi per la didattica museale e istituzionale dell’Orto Botanico di Palermo. In quest’occasione sono stati sperimentati strumenti progettuali, tecnologie e modalità di espressione successivamente rielaborati anche in un progetto di sviluppo territoriale, che ha portato alla realizzazione del “Micromu…
Gemelle diverse. The churches of the Holy Trinity of Delia and San Nicolò Regale in Trapani, Sicily
2019
The work develops the necessary phases before arriving at a restoration project. The main objectives are: the study and historical-architectural analysis, the knowledge of the current management and enhancement of the two churches, the proposal of strategies to show the value of the remains of the past and to educate the new generations and the development of a method. In addition to the data collection "in situ" relative to the current conditions of the elements, their state of conservation and the documentation of existing pathologies, an architectural survey has been carried out to perform the comparative analysis of both churches and the proposals of action. The two architectures are th…
Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Frictional Effects on 4ENF Delamination Tests Performed on Unidirectional CFRP
2015
Abstract Progressive delamination in composite materials under static or fatigue loading condition are, in many structures, one of the predominant cause of failure. In the paper, an accurate study of quasi-static delamination growth under mode II loading condition is conducted. Several experimental tests are performed on composite laminates consisting of unidirectional carbon/epoxy layers. Four-point end-notched flexure (4ENF) test is employed in order to characterize the mode II interlaminar fracture toughness. The R-curve is obtained by means of optical and numerical determination of crack tip position. The energy release rate and the crack length are calculated through experimental deter…
A Fiber Optic Strain Gage Sensor for Measuring Preload in Thick Composite Bolted Joints
2019
Mechanical fastening is a popular choice in joining composites because of the ability to transfer high loads and the ease of assembly and disassembly. In this study, the failure behavior of composite–aluminum single lap bolted joint is investigated. In particular, the effects of varying the preload on the bolt are examined. In order to accurately measure the preload, a specialized sensor that uses a fiber Bragg grating sensor embedded in the bolt is proposed and created. This sensor is realized for the current tests but can be expanded to other applications. An experimental study of bolted single-lap joints varying the tightening torque value has been carried out and, in order to validate t…

Numerical and experimental analysis of a high innovative hydrofoil
2020
The hydrofoil is a craft where the weight is entirely supported by the lift generated by the submerged part of wings. The particular structure of the craft requires a thorough study of the architecture of the hull, whose structure differs from others high speed vessels since the lift on wing surfaces are transmitted to the hull in limited areas (wing attacks). The authors have developed a research to optimize geometry of hull and wing system on a hydrofoil capable to carry 250 passengers at a speed of 35 knots, operating among Sicilian island. The principal goals of the new hydrofoil concern both the fuel reduction that the improvement of the comfort in terms of seakeeping and levels of aco…
Biomechanical analysis of two types of osseointegrated transfemoral prosthesis
2020
In the last two decades, osseointegrated prostheses have been shown to be a good alternative for lower limb amputees experiencing complications in using a traditional socket-type prosthesis
Advanced Techniques for Design and Manufacturing in Marine Engineering
2022
Modern engineering design processes are driven by the extensive use of numerical simulations, and naval architecture as well as ocean engineering are no exception. Structural design or fluid dynamic performance evaluation can only be carried out by means of several dedicated pieces of software. Classical naval design methodology can take advantage of the integration of these pieces of software, giving rise to more robust design in terms of shape, structural and hydrodynamic performances, and manufacturing processes. This Special Issue (SI) on “Advanced Techniques for Design and Manufacturing in Marine Engineering”, published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, aimed to invite …
[Fotogrammi di] dialoghi interdisciplinari intorno alla cultura del progetto
2019
È indubbio che il titolo del progetto non si dichiara apertamente ma al contempo è in grado di anticipare, nella sua sintetica composizione, alcune questioni centrali che del progetto ne costituiscono il fondamento. Cap è la sigla di Comunicare al presente ma è anche, e sarebbe ingenuo considerarla una semplice coincidenza, quel numero che individua nella sua combinazione un preciso territorio sia esso grande o piccolo, centrale o periferico, poco importa, ognuno di essi perfettamente rintracciabili attraverso quella insolita corrispondenza ai cui capi stanno luoghi e numeri. Anche 18 è un numero e sta per l’anno della prima edizione del progetto che ambisce, e la presenza delle due cifre l…
