Validated and Optimized Strategies for Preserving Historical Heritage Towards Natural and Anthropic Risks: Insights from the DETECT-AGING Project by Gian Piero Lignola, Nicola Buratti, Serena Cattari, Fulvio Parisi, Filippo Ubertini, Sara Alfano, Laura Ierimonti, Andrea Meoni, Daniele Sivori, Giorgio Virgulto

“…Results were built on recent advances in structural performance modelling of historical masonry structures, interpretation of effects of degradation, advanced numerical simulations, and structural health monitoring, with the final aim to go beyond the state of the art in regard to assessing and establishing: (i) degradation effects from the level of materials to the scale of components; (ii) methodologies able to transfer information on mechanical behaviour from a micro-scale to a macro-scale; (iii) the use of ambient vibration measurements to address epistemic modelling uncertainties in historical masonry buildings; (iv) structural health monitoring (SHM) to detect the occurrence of damage and locate/quantify damage; (v) the capability of equivalent frame models (EFMs) to support the SHM of masonry structures in place of more refined 3D finite element models (FEMs); (vi) variations in the structural response that can be monitored by sensor networks as a function of simulated degradation.…”

Voice synthesis using power-balanced simulation of a quasi-1D model of the vocal apparatus by Thomas Risse, Thomas Hélie, Fabrice Silva

“…The vocal apparatus is a biophysical dynamic system capable of self-oscillation, which involves fluid–structure interactions and human control. This study on the sound synthesis of voiced sounds presents a physical quasi-1D model of the vocal apparatus in the port-Hamiltonian framework and its validation through numerical experiments. …”
