Mathematical Modeling in Cultural Heritage: Mach 2023

This book collects contributions presented at the INdAM Workshop "Mathematical modeling and Analysis of degradation and restoration in Cultural Heritage-MACH2023" held in Rome, Italy in September 2023. The book is focused on mathematical modeling and simulation techniques with the aim of improving the current strategies of conservation and restoration in cultural heritage, sharing different experiences and approaches. The main topics are corrosion and sulphation of materials, damage and fractures, stress in thermomechanical systems, contact and adhesion problems, phase transitions and reaction-diffusion models, restoration techniques, additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on the effective improvements of the fruition of cultural heritage. The final goal is to strengthen the bridge between the experts in different fields of cultural heritage and the mathematical community.
