In the simulation of the longitudinal dynamics of long trains, the modeling of the resistant forces and of the coupling system are two essential aspects. The modeling of the resistant forces directly affects the speed reached by each vehicle as well as the in-train forces. A literature review witnesses different laws for the calculation of both ordinary and accidental resistances. One of the objectives of this paper is to evaluate from the numerical point of view the influence of the resistant forces modeling strategy on the simulation outputs, i.e., on the speeds and in-train forces, by comparing different laws for propulsion and curving resistances. For what concerns the connection between the vehicles of the train, it is well known that the connection system is of utmost importance for the safety and running stability of the train. In this paper, the two existing coupling systems, i.e., the European buffer-hook system and the coupler used outside the European continent are first described, both in terms of operation and modelling techniques, and then they are compared on the same simulation scenario. All the simulations are performed on the first scenario of the International benchmark of the longitudinal train dynamic simulators, using the LTDPoliTO code developed by the railway research team from Politecnico di Torino.
In this article the Author offers a critical review of the mejor works of investigation on the issue of the creation and establishing of a specific poetic metre, the ottava rima and on the role played by Giovanni Boccaccio in such an issue. The Author argues that besides all the efforts to establish an origin for such a metre afore Boccaccio's poems, the results have been inconclusive; whereas Boccaccio's preminance in the establishing of the use of such a metre in Tuscany seems to grow in evidence slowly bur surely so that he should still be considered, de facto, if not the inventor, at least the designer of the original ottava.
Il saggio esamina lo spettacolo teatrale Dalla Città Dolente: colpa, pena e liberazione nelle visioni dell' Inferno di Dante, scritto e diretto da Fabio Cavalli, con la compagnia del Teatro Libero di Rebibbia, mettendo in evidenza come l'incontro tra la poesia dell'Inferno e l'universo degli attori-detenuti inviti a riflettere sui concetti di colpa, giustizia retributiva e giustizia riparativa, in Dante e nella società contemporanea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
