On the performance of advanced three-dimensional models for cylindrically bent plates subjected to arbitrary boundary conditions
No full textBased on recent researches (e.g. [1–3]) aimed at approaching the three-dimensional dynamical values (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of multilayered plates subjected to classical although arbitrary boundary conditions, the interest of the present communication is based on the attempt to test the pres- ent simple analytical approach while preserving the accuracy of the results within the frame of the exist- ing modern calculators. Such an attempt has been previously pursued by the present author through the classical theorem of virtual displacements along with the adoption of the global piecewise smooth func- tions (GPSFs) [4]; as is shown by Messina and Rollo [2] and Messina [3], such a formalization has allowed one to deal with a multilayered architecture as if the plates were made up of a single layer sub- jected to classical arbitrary boundary conditions with, these latter, even dealt with through only three distinct functional bases. The fact that any explicit continuity conditions of the relevant interfacial stress components are not explicitly introduced could be worth mentioning. The above-mentioned analyses left, however, open questions; indeed, Messina [3] noticed certain boundary conditions as mainly respon- sible for a low convergence of eigenvalues to the expected exact three-dimensional counterparts.
After investigating the mentioned influence of boundary conditions [3], this writer became aware of static analyses of possible relevant interest. In particular, this writer noticed with extreme interest the paper by Vel and Batra [5] to which the attention of this note is essentially addressed. Vel and Batra [5] analysed the generalized plane strain deformations from a static point of view and by using the Eshelby– Stroh formalism. In spite of the different nature of the problem (static in [5], dynamic in [1,3]) we must accept the fact that a possible slack convergence at exact values in a static analysis is a particular aspect of its dynamic counterpart and vice versa.
Therefore, this author discusses the performance of the Eshelby–Stroh formalism, illustrated by Vel and Batra [5], in comparison to the capability of an analytical model to deal with multilayered plates as if they were made up of a single layer architecture [1,3] within the frame of static deformations. Interestingly the comparison will show how sometimes the explicit introduction of the required natural boundary conditions can reduce the accuracy of the results. Moreover, it is shown how the GPSFs bring remarkable benefits when used to model multilayered plates; the benefits can even increase when the GPSFs are used in multiple dimensions rather than only through the thickness of the plate. In passing, and finally, the present comparison shows a slight disagreement with Vel and Batra [5] for few transver- sal stress component distributions; this slight disagreement, however, is definitely of extremely minor importance when compared to the clean and helpful frame offered by the analysis of [5]

Guide to Digitized Sal Mosca Recordings
No full textThe Guide to Digitized Sal Mosca Audiovisual Recordings details recordings in subseries 3.5 of the Sal Mosca business records, audiovisual recordings, and realia, housed at the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University—Newark. The guide compiles six separate inventories created by Don Messina, who digitized the recordings detailed in the guide. It includes a unique identifier for each recording, date, personnel, instrumentation, recording location, information about the original media carrier, song titles, related commercial releases, and commentary by Messina. Messina, a jazz bassist, performed with Mosca and worked closely with his associates and descendants to gather and research the recordings and create the guide.This guide describes subseries 3.5 of the Sal Mosca business records, audiovisual recordings, and realia (MC 074), Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University Libraries
Risveglio Marittimo: Awakening maritime identity in Messina
No full textThe master thesis "Risveglio Marittimo - Awakening Maritime Identity in Messina" answers the question of how the concept of maritime identity facilitates the understanding of existing assets and offers opportunities for the design of Messina as a port city. Through the collection of micro-narratives and their organization into categories, Messina's maritime identity was (re)discovered in following topics: heritage and culture, water and environment, threshold and transition, transformation and production, quoditiantity and symbols.The quadrilatero site, between the Ex-Granai and the maritime station, was chosen to design a new maritime space, with the aim of fertilizing the perception and value of Messina's maritime identity. The renovation of the abandoned silos and the fish market allows to offer spaces for culinary products of the sea and the hinterland and their consumption on the edge between land and sea, creating a vibrant public space for exchange and transition at the most important traffic node bridging land and sea transportation.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Urbanis

Il processo di integrazione europea a 60 anni dalla dichiarazione di Messina: prospettiva federale versus logica intergovernativa
No full textL'articolo analizza il processo di integrazione europea, dalla Conferenza di Messina del 1950 fino ad oggi. Il primo aspetto su cui si sofferma l'autore è la differenza fra il c.d. "metodo comunitario", così come ideato dal Jean Monnet, e quello "intergovernativo", prendendo in considerazione anche la sua più recente evoluzione a "metodo dell'Unione". Successivamente, vengono presi in esame gli aspetti più attuali della governance europea, che si sono sviluppati a seguito dell'entrata in vigore del Trattato di Lisbona, mettendo particolarmente in evidenza gli aspetti di tipo federalista dell'UE. In conclusione, quindi, l'autore si sofferma su quali sono i meccanismi che le istituzioni devono sviluppare affinché l'UE si possa affermare come organizzazione dalla natura federalista.The article is focused on the European integration process, since the Conference held in Messina in 1955 to nowadays. Firstly, the author analyses the differences between the communitarian and the intergovernative methods. As regards the latter, the author analyses even the evolution of the intergovernative approach to the most recent "method of the Unione". Following, the author takes under consideration if the EU is moving into a federalist approach and thus makes some reflection on the possibility that the EU is evolving into a federalist organization. In this regard he focuses on the mechanism that the EU institution should adopt to affirm its federalist nature
Zwevende tunnel in de Straat van Messina
No full textHet eiland Sicilië wordt van het vaste land van Italië gescheiden door de Straat van Messina. De afstand tussen de oevers is op het smalste punt van de Straat van Messina slechts 3 km. Hoewel de Italiaanse overheid meerdere malen interessen heeft getoond in een vaste oeververbinding ter plaatse wordt de verbinding tussen beide oevers nog steeds onderhouden door veerdiensten. Het ziet er ook niet naar uit dat zo'n vaste oeververbinding er binnen afzienbare tijd zal komen. De extreme omstandigheden waaraan een oeververbinding ter plaatse wordt blootgesteld maken deze erg duur of zelfs technisch onuitvoerbaar. Zelfs als we de minst diepe doorsnede nemen van de Straat van Messina dan zal de waterdiepte nog oplopen tot een maximum van 150 meter. De waterstroming die, opgewekt wordt door een dubbeldaags getij bereikt máximale waarden van 3,2 m/s in beide richtingen. De hoge stroomsnelheden zijn aanwezig over vrijwel de gehele diepte. Het stromingpatroon is ook zeer complex doordat de noord-zuid stroom en de zuid-noord stroom niet dezelfde weg volgen. Bovendien moet rekening worden gehouden met een ontwerpgolf van 5 meter hoogte. Vervolgens schuift Sicilië gemiddeld 0,02 meter per jaar van het vaste land van Italië af. Er zijn echter ook waarden gemeten van 0,1 meter per jaar. Ook wordt het gebied regelmatig getroffen door aardbevingen. Tot slot komen er stormen voor waar de windsnelheden pieken vertonen van 180 km per uur. Juist onder deze omstandigheden is het interessant om naast de conventionele oeververbindingen de mogelijkheid van een zwevende tunnel te onderzoeken. De levenskansen van dit alternatief stijgen doordat de conventionele oeververbindingen ook met veel problemen worden geconfronteerd. In deel I van het hoofdontwerp is berekend hoe groot de krachten zijn die op de tunnel werken. vervolgens is onderzocht hoe het gekozen verankeringssysteem kan worden aangepast opdat minimale verplaatsingen optreden. In dit deel II van het hoofdontwerp is in hoofdstuk 2 een keuze gemaakt uit diverse manieren waarop de tunnel gebouwd kan worden. Dit gekozen alternatief wordt nader uitgewerkt. Het gekozen alternatief bepaald in belangrijke mate de uitwendige vorm van de tunnel. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn de lengte vande tunnelsegmenten, de kabelverdeling over het tunnelsegment en de benodigde voorzieningen ter plaatse van de koppelingen. Hierover meer in hoofdstuk 3, waar ook diverse kopschotten met elkaar zijn vergeleken, voor het afsluiten van de tunnelsegmenten tijdens de bouwfase. In hoofdstuk 4 zijn de extreme momenten en dwarskrachten berekend die op een tunnelsegment werken vanaf het moment dat de tunnelsegmenten worden gebouwd tot en met de gebruiksfase. Tenslotte is voor de extreme momenten en dwarskrachten in hoofdstuk 5 de benodigde wapening en voorspanning berekend.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
