An efficient framework for the elasto-plastic reliability assessment of uncertain wind excited systems

2016

Abstract In this paper a method to efficiently evaluate the reliability of elastic-perfectly plastic structures is proposed. The method is based on combining dynamic shakedown theory with Subset Simulation. In particular, focus is on describing the shakedown behavior of uncertain elasto-plastic systems driven by stochastic wind loads. The ability of the structure to shakedown is assumed as a limit state separating plastic collapse from a safe, if not elastic, state of the structure. The limit state is therefore evaluated in terms of a probabilistic load multiplier estimated through solving a series of linear programming problems posed in terms of the responses of the underlying linear elast…

Workhardening adaptation of rigid-plastic structures

1976

The paper considers discrete rigid-plastic structures which are subjected to the action of loads varying quasi-statically within given limits. It studies the conditions for workhoardening adaptation, that is the conditions to ensure that the structure, after an initial rigid-plastic phase, shows a purely rigid behavior. The safety factor against the workhardening inadaptation is defined by two dual optimization problems. Some characteristic features of the yielding surface at failure are pointed out, using also a proper geometric description. Static and kinematic theorems, which are similar to those of shakedown theory, are given. A simple application concludes the paper.

“The drops which fell from Shakespear’s Pen”: Hamlet in Contemporary Fiction

2012

Questions of gender, ethnicity and sexuality have all been raised by novelists intent on rewriting Shakespeare from the position of what have been seen as cultural margins. While discussions of such rewritings are ongoing, few concerted efforts have been made to trace a pattern in the treatment of Shakespearean allusion and adaptation at the hands of British and American writers of the literary mainstream. The present essay sets out to investigate the way in which three such writers —Ian McEwan, Graham Swift, and John Updike— employ allusion to/adaptations of Hamlet in their novels and what their respective stances reveal about their understanding of their role as canonical writers.

SHAKESPEARE: VELENO E TRAGEDIA

1999

Veleno: una parola che ricorre con insistenza nelle tragedie di Shakespeare. Quali motivazioni hanno spinto il drammaturgo inglese a inserire in tutte le sue opere almeno una volta il “veleno”? Il saggio indaga le ricorrenze del termine, ma si sofferma anche su un altro aspetto assai rilevante: tutti i personaggi che muoiono per soffocamento sono innocenti, mentre tutti quelli che sono uccisi (o si suicidano) col veleno sono colpevoli. Non può trattarsi di una coincidenza, bensì di una preordinata impostazione dell’impianto drammatico. Il volume così dimostra che in Shakespeare esiste un preciso ordine tripartito che regola le colpe di tutti i personaggi delle tragedie.

Volume-convergent sequences of Haken 3-manifolds

2003

Abstract Let M be a closed orientable 3-manifold and let Vol(M) denote its Gromov simplicial volume. This paper is devoted to the study of sequences of non-zero degree maps f i :M→N i to Haken manifolds. We prove that any sequence of Haken manifolds (Ni,fi), satisfying limi→∞deg(fi)×Vol(Ni)=Vol(M) is finite up to homeomorphism. As an application, we deduce from this fact that any closed orientable 3-manifold with zero Gromov simplicial volume and in particular any graph manifold dominates at most finitely many Haken 3-manifolds.

Evaluation of different mechanical fruit harvesting systems and oil quality in very large size olive trees

2014

In 2006 and 2009, trials were carried out in the Apulia region in Southern Italy to evalu-ate the possibility of mechanizing olive harvesting in groves of old and very large trees. The trees belonged to the cultivars ‘Cellina di Nardò’ and ‘Ogliarola Salentina’. They were 60-100 years old and 7-9 m tall with a canopy volume of 140-360 m3. In the first half of November 2006, with a mechanical beater mounted on a tractor plus hand-held pneumatic combs, the harvesting yield was close to 90% of the total olives present in the canopy, and the harvesting working productivity was around 60 kg of harvested olives h-1 worker-1. With a self-propelled shaker attached to the main branches the harvestin…

‘My Language! Heavens!’: Strange Tongues and the Denial of Mimesis in The Tempest

2008

The Tempest est la dernière pièce « italienne » de Shakespeare. Cet article se penche sur quelques unes des conséquences poétiques et métaphysiques de la convention qui consiste à faire correspondre l’anglais de la pièce à l’italien que sont sensés parler les personnages. Nous montrerons que cette convention est un paramètre essentiel de l’action dramatique et qu’elle contribue à la mise en évidence du caractère fondamentalement « Autre » de la langue du théâtre. Dans The Tempest, l’imbrication d’une langue inconnue et d’une langue familière débouche par métonymie et par métaphore sur un déni du principe classique de mimesis.

Recepción escénica de Richard III en España

2020

La presente tesis doctoral analiza la recepción escénica en España de Richard III, de W. Shakespeare, desde 2005 hasta 2019, prestando atención a los diferentes contextos de producción y recepción de las adaptaciones realizadas, tanto en castellano como en gallego y catalán. El trabajo presta atención, en primer lugar, al texto de partida, particularmente complejo en esta obra. Analiza, a continuación, las distintas adaptaciones seleccionadas, atendiendo a sus transformaciones a nivel de estructura dramática, configuración de personajes, utilización de espacio y tiempo, textura lingüística y tono, análisis que se completa con la atención a los diferentes sistemas semióticos que intervienen …

Recepción escénica de Richard III en España

2020

Esta tesis doctoral tiene como principal objetivo el análisis de la recepción escénica de la obra Richard III, de William Shakespeare, entre los años 2005 y 2019. Para ello, en primer lugar analizamos el hipotexto shakesperiano y realizamos un recorrido por las principales adaptaciones de la misma a lo largo de la historia, no solo en el contexto anglófono, también en otros contextos como Europa y Oriente Medio, por ejemplo. En segundo lugar, se han analizado las adaptaciones y versiones libres que se han representado en nuestro país en el mencionado periodo de tiempo. Se ha llevado a cabo análisis a todos los niveles, a nivel lingüistico y textual, de personajes, de los elementos semiótico…
