NOSA-ITACA is a software product of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures Laboratory of ISTI-CNR, distributed via the http://www.nosaitaca.it/software/ website.
The package includes SALOME v8.3.0, and is available for Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.
NOSA-ITACA enables you to conduct both linear and nonlinear static analyses and modal analyses.
NOSA-ITACA can be used to study the static behavior of masonry buildings of historic and architectural interest and model the effectiveness of strengthening operations.

The University of Texas at Arlington is pleased to host the 1st International Symposium on Traumatic Brain Injury – Mechanisms and Protections on April 11, 2019. The specific objectives of the symposium are to (i) share state-of-the-art research on TBI mechanism and protection, (ii) foster greater research collaboration across disciplines, sectors, initiatives and countries and promote interactions between the TBI research community with the veteran community, contact sports community and others for education and outreach, (iii) identify knowledge gap on TBI research and exc
