Outdoor tourism is a form of outdoor holiday that is growing rapidly today, and that stands out from other forms of tourism for its immediate relationship with the landscape which becomes for the tourist the main attraction of the holiday intended as a break from ordinary urban life. Outdoor tourism today represents a growing percentage in the tourism sector, in which mobile homes are the real players. Despite the considerable use of this product in open-air accommodations located in relevant landscapes, there is still no sensitivity in the constructive approach and in the choice of materials in terms of sustainability. In the open-air tourism sector, the lack of ecological sensitivity results from two levels of application: one regarding the whole settlement and the public spaces of outdoor accommodations and one regarding the mobile unit from the design to the production process. This paper will provide some practical strategies to introduce the ecological theme in the mobile home for the tourism sector. The research aims to analyze the production system of mobile homes in order to introduce alternative materials within the existing assembly line. The research demonstrates the possibility of a product being sustainable both economically and environmentally, healthy, and well-integrated with landscape by adopting an approach that makes it possible to use the same assembly line currently in use.

This review article describes aerospace thermal-structural testing technology. It begins with discussions of aerodynamic heating and space radiation heating. The review continues with a general discussion of thermal-structural test technology including heating and cooling, instrumentation, and thermal-structural boundary conditions. Then illustrative thermal structural tests are presented for high speed flight in the atmosphere and flight in space. Experiments conducted in the laboratory as well as flight tests are described. Several experiments are reviewed to demonstrate the diversity of thermal-structural phenomena. This article includes 120 references.

Hybrid simulation is an economical structural testing technique in which the critical part of the structure expected to respond in the inelastic range is tested physically whereas the rest of the structure is modelled numerically using a finite element analysis program. The article describes the development of a computational model for the hybrid simulation of the seismic collapse of a steel two-tiered braced frame structure due to column buckling. The column stability response in multi-tiered braced frames is first presented using a pure numerical model of the braced frame studied. The development of the hybrid simulation computational model is then discussed. Effects of initial out-of-straightness imperfections and axial stiffness, P-Delta analysis approach, and gravity analysis technique on the hybrid simulation results are evaluated using a numerical hybrid simulation model. Finally, the results of a continuous pseudo-dynamic hybrid simulation of the seismic response of the steel multi-tiered concentrically braced frame are presented. The test showed that failure of columns by instability is a possibility and can lead to collapse of multi-tiered braced frames, as was predicted by numerical analysis. Furthermore, suitable modeling methods are proposed for hybrid simulation of steel braced frame structures.
