Sommario

Scopo del presente lavoro è quello di indagare sulla dinamica e sull'urto di un sistema rigido, soggetto a vincoli unilaterali. Tale problema è particolarmente interessante per la comprensione del comportamento meccanico delle strutture monumentali costituite da blocchi lapidei, in presenza di forze esterne variabili. L 'analisi fornisce informazioni sulla evoluzione dinamica del sistema; tali informazioni sono indispensabili per uno studio sulla stabilità.

Summary

The aim of the present work is to investigate the impact and the dynamics of a rigid system, subject to unilateral constraints. The problem is particularly interesting to understand the mechanical behaviour of stone structures subject to external forces and to give informations about the dynamical evolution; such informations are basic for a stability study.
