Sistema di monitoraggio per la produzione di energia rinnovabile e sistema acquisizione dati

This thesis presents a comprehensive framework for the monitoring, performance analysis, and forecasting of renewable energy systems, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), digital technologies, and multi-source meteorological data. The research is structured around eight milestones, encompassing the development of a modular data acquisition and monitoring platform, the assessment of climatic anomalies on energy production, sensitivity analysis of...

Moduli fotovoltaici innovativi e l'integrazione nell'involucro edilizio

Il Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) rappresenta una tecnologia chiave per la transizione energetica e la decarbonizzazione del settore edilizio, poiché consente di trasformare l’involucro architettonico da elemento passivo a componente attivo, capace di integrare funzioni costruttive, qualità architettonica e produzione di energia elettrica. Nonostante tale potenziale, la diffusione del BIPV nel contesto europeo rimane ancora limitata e frammentata, principalmente a causa di tre criti...

Protocollo di cantiere per la rimozione di opere provvisionali in sicurezza, anche mediante l'impiego di approccio BIM.

La gestione delle opere provvisionali rappresenta una fase cruciale negli interventi post-sismici, in particolare nei contesti caratterizzati da edifici storici e aggregati murari complessi. Sebbene l’installazione dei puntellamenti sia ampiamente trattata nella pratica operativa e nella letteratura tecnico-scientifica, la fase di rimozione risulta ancora oggi scarsamente normata e prevalentemente affidata all’esperienza degli operatori, con evidenti ricadute in termini di sicurezza, gestione...

A novel BIM opensource platform to support design and maintenance of maritime structures

This research work aims to extend the application of the Building Information Modeling methodology (hereinafter referred to as BIM) to the design and management of maritime structures. To date, BIM has been usually and widely adopted for the design, construction, and maintenance management of buildings and civil infrastructures, such as bridges and roads. Accordingly, the associated information layers and classification systems (e.g., Industry Foundation Classes, IFC) are well established and...

Reduced-Order Models for Vibration Analysis, Parameter Identification and Passive Control of Civil Engineering Structures

Adequate mathematical models are essential for investigating the static and dynamic behaviors of structures; it would be useful to employ efficient models that require limited computational effort and can be readily adapted to address a wide range of problems. In the framework of civil engineering structures, almost all of them have one element in common: they are composed of beams. They are always present in bridges, either as main structural components or as secondary elements; furthermore,...

New materials, models and innovative techniques for the reinforcement of existing buildings

This thesis investigates new materials, models and innovative techniques for the reinforcement of existing buildings, with focus on historical masonry structures and non-seismically designed Reinforced Concrete (RC) joints. The research is divided into two main parts. The first part examines a high performance blended Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) mortar developed for the structural reinforcement of historic masonry structures. The proposed mortar contains 40% NHL, a higher percentage than th...

Mathematical and physical models of beams with cellular microstructure

In recent years, metamaterials have been widely studied as they combine the practical demands for structural optimization and material innovation with the desire to explore new frontiers in the mechanics of materials and structures. In fact, thanks to a proper design, they can exhibit characteristics that overcome those of conventional materials. For their analysis, homogenization techniques have proven to be particularly effective: despite the transition from a discrete model, with a finite ...

Federated and Intelligent Digital Twins for Cultural Heritage: Frameworks, Applications, and Maturity Assessment

Cultural heritage institutions face increasing challenges related to environmental degradation, structural vulnerabilities, visitor congestion, and resource limitations. At the same time,the digitalization of cultural assets has led to fragmented and siloed datasets distributed across heterogeneous systems. While Digital Twins (DTs) have the potential to support real-time monitoring, predictive simulation, and operational optimization, their application in cultural heritage remains constraine...
