  • D-SITE Drones - Systems of Information on Cultural Heritage
    UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA UNIVERSITY OF SALERNO D-SITE Drones - Systems of Information on culTural hEritage International Conference meeting 24-25-26 June 2020, Pavia Italy D-SITE Drones - Systems of Information on culTural hEritage UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA UNIVERSITY OF SALERNO Research experiences for the development of documentation and analysis systems conducted through the use of drones D-SITE is the first International Conference dealing with the use of drones in the field of Cultural Heritage. It is directed to researchers working in the field of UAVs production and in the use of drones for Cultural Heritage documentation and for experts that work in this field, finalizing innovative documentation services that integrate and complete the existing practice. In the last few years, the use of UAVs is becoming increasingly important in many areas related to the science of architectural survey, topography, engineering and architecture. Used for monitoring and surveying, drones are an opportunity for the development of increasingly effective systems for the documentation. The event aims to provide a framework of the State of Art of this phenomenon, laying the foundations for the development of innovative systems of analysis and growth of innovative methodologies with a multidisciplinary nature. The use of UAVs is increasingly widespread in activities related to Cultural Heritage documentation. In recent years the development of methodologies of data integration, obtained through surveys that exploit drones to reach privileged observation points, has been witnessed by the numerous computation platforms, software and tools, that populate the exchange. The definition of increasingly reliable methodologies and procedures of close-range photogrammetry has produced considerable results in the survey of Architectural Heritage.

The tribological tests were performed using a tribometer with pin on disk configuration. Several kinds of textures, realised by a surface laser texturing, were tested by varying the diameter, depth, and density of the dimples under severe working conditions. The innovative aspect concerns the behaviour of the textured lead bronze coating and the lubrication conditions when the sample is subjected to extreme load conditions. Confocal microscopies and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)/EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) analyses were performed to evaluate the texture behaviour and also the surface deterioration of the coating. The results show that the application of texture processing leads to an improvement in the tribological properties of the coating. By analysing separately the variation of the different geometric parameters of the dimples, it has been shown that the best results µ µ Citation: Senatore, A.; Risitano, G.; are obtained with a diameter of 50 m, a density of 5%, and a depth of 5 m.
