Sommario/riassunto

This miscellaneous volume aims to commemorate the Iberian and European celebrations about Magellan that started in 2019. Specifically, the volume commemorates: the person and the image of Magellan on earth (celebrating the 500 years of his circumnavigation of the Earth) and in the universe (remembering the two Magellanic clouds); the Eddington's journey and the Apollo XI flight to the moon, through many essays that investigate the concept of travel in its several attitudes (explorative, scientific, philosophical, introspective, literary) in Sciences and Humanities, from ancient to contemporary ages, in an intercultural perspective, following a thematic scheme and a cronological one as well, if it is possible.

Sommario/riassunto

This book, edited by Peter Eberhard, presents innovative approaches to influence vibrations in engineering structures through deliberate dissipation. Originating from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft's Priority Programme SPP 1897, the work addresses the challenges of



lightweight design, which often leads to increased sensitivity to vibrations. The book aims to provide solutions that ensure technical systems operate calmly, smoothly, and intelligently by integrating new damping techniques. It targets researchers and professionals in applied and computational mechanics, offering insights into systematic investigation, mathematical modeling, and experimental validation of damping mechanisms. The ultimate goal is to enhance energy efficiency while maintaining structural integrity and operational comfort.
