Explorations in the History and Heritage of Machines and Mechanisms
This book gathers the latest advances in the field of history of science and technology, as presented by leading international researchers at the 7th International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms (HMM), held in Granada and Jaén, Spain on April 28-30, 2022. The Symposium, which was promoted by the permanent commission for the History of Machine and Mechanism Science (MMS) of IFToMM, provided an international forum to present and discuss historical developments in the field of MMS. The contents cover all aspects of the development of MMS from antiquity until the present era and its historiography: modern reviews of past works, engineers in history and their works, the development of theories, history of the design of machines and mechanisms, historical developments of mechanical design and automation, historical developments of teaching, the history of schools of engineering, the education of engineers. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
Explorations in the History and Heritage of Machines and Mechanisms
This is the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms that was held in Beijing, China, in September 2018. The Symposium provided an international forum for presenting and discussing historical developments in the field of Machine and Mechanism Science (MMS). Special sections focused on the following topics: . modern reviews of past works · engineers in history, and their works · direct memories of the recent past · the development of theories · the history of the design of machines and mechanisms · development of automation and robots · the development of teaching of MMS · the schools and institutes of mechanical engineering · the heritage of machines and mechanisms
Distinguished Figures in Descriptive Geometry and Its Applications for Mechanism Science
This book consists of chapters that focus specifically on single figures that worked on Descriptive Geometry and also in Mechanisms Sciences and contain biographical notes, a survey of their work and their achievements, together with a modern interpretation of their legacy. Since Vitruvius in ancient times, and with Brunelleschi in the Renaissance, the two disciplines began to share a common direction which, over the centuries, took shape through less well-known figures until the more recent times in which Gaspard Monge worked. Over the years, a gap has been created between Descriptive Geometry and Mechanism Science, which now appear to belong to different worlds. In reality, however, there is a very close relationship between the two disciplines, with a link based on extremely solid foundations. Without the theoretical foundations of Geometry it would not be possible to draw and design mechanical parts such as gears, while in Kinematics it would be less easy to design and predict the reciprocal movements of parts in a complex mechanical assembly.
New Activities For Cultural Heritage
This is the Proceedings of the International Workshop Heritagebot 2017 that was held in Cassino, Italy in September 2017. The papers cover a wide range of disciplines connected with Cultural Heritage, from humanistic fields up to engineering designs through legal aspects and financial/economical studies, treating aspects of theory, design, practice and applications. Topics addressed during the conference were: business models and business planning; creative cities and industries; documentation, analysis and survey of cultural heritage; economics of cultural heritage; cultural heritage, business and organizational models; cultural heritage and collaborative digital systems; citizen science for cultural heritage: service robotics for cultural heritage; legal tools for the development and innovation management in cultural heritage; capital budgeting and capital structure of cultural heritage sector; field applications in cultural heritage.
Graphical Heritage
This book presents the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2020, focusing on heritage – including architectural and graphic heritage as well as the graphics of heritage. This first volume gathers selected contributions covering theories, and new technologies and findings to help shed light on current questions related to heritage. It features original documentation studies on historical archives, 3D and solid representation of architectural objects, as well as virtual graphic representation and applications of augmented reality, all documenting and/or reconstructing the present, past and future of architectural objects. As such, this book offers extensive and timely information to architectural and graphic designers, urban designers and engineers, and industrial designers and historians.
Nexus Network Journal 14,3
The Winter 2012 (vol. 14 no. 3) issue of the Nexus Network Journal features seven original papers dedicated to the theme “Digital Fabrication”. Digital fabrication is changing architecture in fundamental ways in every phase, from concept to artifact. Projects growing out of research in digital fabrication are dependent on software that is entirely surface-oriented in its underlying mathematics. Decisions made during design, prototyping, fabrication and assembly rely on codes, scripts, parameters, operating systems and software, creating the need for teams with multidisciplinary expertise and different skills, from IT to architecture, design, material engineering, and mathematics, among others The papers grew out of a Lisbon symposium hosted by the ISCTE-Instituto Universitario de Lisboa entitled “Digital Fabrication – A State of the Art”. The issue is completed with four other research papers which address different mathematical instruments applied to architecture, including geometric tracing systems, proportional systems, descriptive geometry and correspondence analysis. The issue concludes with a book review.
Il segreto dell'illusione
Il testo prende in esame l’interpretazione/ricostruzione di luoghi spazialmente credibili, anche se illusori, e rappresentati attraverso l’architettura dipinta dalla Roma di Augusto alle quadrature del Sei-Settecento. L’esigenza di ampliare, dilatare e moltiplicare lo spazio di gallerie, stanze e saloni ha guidato l’arte del costruire nei secoli. Diverse sono state le dinamiche con cui progettisti e pittori prospettici hanno operato, a seconda di luoghi, epoche, tecnologie, ma sempre con l’obiettivo di arricchire ambienti e spazi per variarne dimensioni e forma, correggendo e superando i limiti architettonici. Da queste ricerche emerge come l’architettura dipinta scaturisce sempr...
Metodi e tecniche integrate di rilevamento per la realizzazione di modelli virtuali dell'architettura della città
Il progetto nazionale di ricerca Prin 2004 sui Metodi e tecniche integrate di rilevamento per la realizzazione di Modelli Virtuali dell'Architettura e della Città ha concluso il suo percorso e oggi i risultati vengono resi pubblici con questo volume. La disponibilità di molti dati sotto forma digitale ha determinato l'integrazione tra le diverse metodologie di rilevamento, sia innovative che tradizionali, il che costituisce un notevole progresso per giungere ad una conoscenza profonda e globale dell'architettura e della città. Negli ultimi quaranta anni alle tradizionali tecniche di rilevamento architettonico, che si erano sostanzialmente mantenute immutate per molti secoli, si sono aggiu...
