Sommario/riassunto

Les gladiateurs sont intimement liés à l’amphithéâtre à tel point qu’ils écrasent par leur omniprésence les autres protagonistes de l’arène. La gladiature n’est pourtant pas la seule exhibition qui électrise les foules dans les gradins de ces gigantesques édifices. Bestiaires et venatores de la chasse fictive, Paegniarii des jeux de midi, bêtes horrifiques ou animaux fabuleux, participent à la réussite d’une journée passée aux spectacles.  Appréhendés grâce à des supports aussi variés que les lampes en terre cuite, la céramique sigillée ou les mosaïques, tous les acteurs de ce microcosme particulier sont présentés dans cette étude qui s’intéresse également à la rhétorique de l’image et à sa symbolique.

Sommario/riassunto

"Optimal aircraft design is impossible without a parametric representation of the geometry of the airframe. We need a mathematical model equipped with a set of controls, or design variables, which generates different candidate airframe shapes in response to changes in the values of these variables. This model's objectives are to be flexible and concise, and capable of yielding a wide range of shapes with a minimum number of design variables. Moreover, the process of converting these variables into aircraft geometries must be robust. Alas, flexibility, conciseness and robustness can seldom be achieved simultaneously.Aircraft Aerodynamic Design: Geometry and Optimization addresses this problem by navigating the subtle trade-offs between the competing objectives of geometry parameterization. It beginswith the fundamentals of geometry-centred aircraft design, followed by a review of the building blocks of computational geometries, the curve and surface formulations at the heart of aircraft geometry. The authors then cover a range of legacy formulations in the



build-up towards a discussion of the most flexible shape models used in aerodynamic design (with a focus on lift generating surfaces). The book takes a practical approach and includes MATLAB(r), Python and Rhinoceros(r) code, as well as 'real-life' example case studies.Key features:   Covers effective geometry parameterization within the context of design optimization  Demonstrates how geometry parameterization is an important element of modern aircraft design  Includes code and case studies which enable the reader to apply each theoretical concept either as an aid to understanding or as a building block of their own geometry model  Accompanied by a website hosting codes  Aircraft Aerodynamic Design: Geometry and Optimization is a practical guide for researchers and practitioners in the aerospace industry, and a reference for graduate and undergraduate students in aircraft design and multidisciplinary design optimization"--
