MSCA PhD Positions in Numerical Modelling of Highly Flexible Structures

THREAD is a unique network of universities, research organisations and industry which by addressing fundamental modelling problems will ultimately enable the field to better meet the needs of different industries. A group of 14 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) will receive comprehensive training covering state-of-the-art research topics along the modeling of highly flexible slender structures for industrial applications (see below) as well as valuable transferable skills. They will benefit from close cooperation with twelve industrial partner organisations implementing a comprehensive programme of research secondments and contributing their experience.

Ph.D. candidates should ideally start on 1 April 2020 for 36 months. The salaries are defined by MSCA early-stage regulations.

Pubblicazione del volume “SCIENTIA ABSCONDITA. Arte e scienza del costruire nelle architetture del passato” di Mario Como, Ivo Iori e Federica Ottoni

Sabrina Vantadori informa della pubblicazione del volume “SCIENTIA ABSCONDITA. Arte e scienza del costruire nelle architetture del passato” di Mario Como, Ivo Iori e Federica Ottoni, edito da Marsilio, da poche settimane in libreria.

Il volume si propone di indagare i principi del processo che ha guidato la costruzione degli edifici storici in muratura almeno fino al XIX secolo e di dimostrare la validità della teoria proporzionale, recuperandone lo studio, non solo dal punto di vista formale e strutturale ma, più in generale, culturale, indagando il contesto scientifico nel quale questa si è sviluppata. L’osservazione del passato e il richiamo a criteri empirici di progettazione può finalmente svelare quella scientia abscondita che può tradursi a buon diritto, se compiutamente compresa, in un corretto criterio di interpretazione strutturale degli edifici storici in muratura, garantendone prima di tutto la comprensione e, conseguenza diretta e non meno importante, la conservazione.
