Los angeles razionalizzazione delle scienze ha avuto un grande impulso con l’avvento e il consolidarsi dei concetti dell’Analisi Dimensionale, accanto alla quale si ? sviluppata l. a. modellistica fisica. Al pace in cui gli elaboratori non erano disponibili o non erano accessibili, los angeles modellistica fisica rimaneva l’unico strumento in line with affrontare e risolvere numerosi problemi di Ingegneria; non a caso l. a. maggior parte delle pubblicazioni scientifiche nel settore ? riconducibile a quel periodo. Anche oggi i modelli fisici hanno un ruolo insostituibile nella progettazione di molte opere, nonostante i costi e i tempi di lavorazione spesso elevati, ma ampiamente compensati dall’utilit? dei risultati ottenuti. story scelta trova riscontro nelle normative nazionali e internazionali consistent with los angeles realizzazione di opere di particolare complessit? e impegno economico quali, advert esempio, le opere marittime o le opere di Ingegneria strutturale; gi? da molti decenni, in alcuni codici esteri, i modelli fisici possono sostituire i modelli analitici. Chi dovesse ritenere eccessiva story alternativa, cambierebbe thought se sapesse che l. a. maggior parte delle relazioni analitiche di calcolo deriva dalla sperimentazione su modelli fisici. Questo testo ? stato concepito consistent with gli studenti e in keeping with i ricercatori impegnati nello studio di modelli concettuali e analitici, oltre che nella realizzazione di modelli fisici, e si sviluppa su basi teoriche ma con numerosi esempi applicativi. I settori di interesse sono quelli dell’Idraulica, della Scienza e Tecnica delle Costruzioni, della Geotecnica e della Fisica Tecnica, con brevi be aware in keeping with lo studio di sistemi complessi.
