Alberto Salvadori - Böcker

This book contains contributions presented at the IUTAM Symposium "Fracture Phenomena in Nature and Technology" held in Brescia, Italy, 1-5 July, 2012.The objective of the Symposium was fracture research, interpreted broadly to include new engineering and structural mechanics treatments of damage development and crack growth and also large-scale failure processes as exemplified by earthquake or landslide failures, ice shelf break-up and hydraulic fracturing (natural or for resource extraction or CO2 sequestration), as well as small-scale rupture phenomena in materials physics including, e.g. inception of shear banding, void growth, adhesion and decohesion in contact and friction, crystal dislocation processes and atomic/electronic scale treatment of brittle crack tips and fundamental cohesive properties. Special emphasis was given to multiscale fracture description and new scale-bridging formulations capable to substantiate recent experiments and tailored to become the basis for innovative computational algorithms.

Emilio Tadini: The Reality of the Image 1968–1972 is Fondazione Marconi’s second chapter of a broader editorial project dedicated to the study, documentation, and mediation of the history and cultural heritage of this Milanese gallery, and the numerous personalities that have crossed its path. Created with the involvement of prominent figures in the international artistic and curatorial panorama, careful research in archives, and historical reconstruction, the project complements the foundation’s other promotional activities by which it seeks to tell this story, with particular attention to a transversal audience both geographically and generationally. In Emilio Tadini: The Reality of the Image 1968–1972 an unpublished manuscript by Tadini, consisting of forty-three pages of hole-punched graph paper—on which the artist wrote notes relating to the execution of his paintings, ideas for future works and titles for new series—, act as a starting point for a larger study of his position in the early post-war cultural debate, through an essay by Francesco Guzzetti (editor of the publication), and a large documentation of paintings, photographic studies, drawing and collages.
