Plasma facing components: A conceptual design strategy for the first wall in FAST tokamak
Satellite tokamaks are conceived with the main purpose of developing new or alternative ITER- and DEMO-relevant technologies, able to contribute in resolving the pending issues about plasma operation. In particular, a high criticality needs to be associated to the design of plasma facing components, i.e. first wall (FW) and divertor, due to physical, topological and thermo-structural reasons. In such a context, the design of the FW in FAST fusion plant, whose operational range is close to ITER’s one, takes place. According to the mission of experimental satellites, the FW design strategy, which is presented in this paper relies on a series of innovative design choices and proposals with a particular attention to the typical key points of plasma facing components design. Such an approach, taking into account a series of involved physical constraints and functional requirements to be fulfilled, marks a clear borderline with the FW solution adopted in ITER, in terms of basic ideas, manufacturing aspects, remote maintenance procedure, manifolds management, cooling cycle and support system configuration

Close-Range Photogrammetry Approach for the Virtual Prototyping of an Automotive Magnetorheological Semi-active Differential
A Statistical Approach to Simulate Instances of Archeological Findings Fragments
First aim of this paper is to describe a methodology
developed to create virtual fragments of archeological
archetypes in CAD (Computer Aided Design) environment. A simple Reverse Engineering (RE) technique was
adopted to reconstruct the shape of vases allowing the
archeologists, and so the CAD inexpert personnel, to use
it. Moreover, another relevant aspect is the definition of
a procedure to simulate shape errors on the virtual prototypes to make more realistic the results. The characteristics of the fragments to be reproduced were selected by
means of Design of Experiment (DOE) techniques. So, an
algorithm was implemented to simulate the shape error,
related to the working operations, that represents the
typical noise for the feature recognition of archeological findings. Furthermore, this algorithm can make more
complex the hypotheses related to the Gaussian model
of simulation of the error and can adapt the value of
the shape error (i.e. increasing it) according to the data
gathered in archaeological excavation. The case study
was based on the definition of a catalogue of archetypes
of the black Campanian vases studied and classified by
the archeologist J.P. Morel. The procedure conceived
was applied to five (among one hundred) vases of the
virtual catalogue obtaining forty instances of fragments
affected by errors and so creating virtual mock-ups of
typical pieces which may be found in the archeological
site considered for the case study
