Common engineering materials are reaching their limits in many applications, and
new developments are required to meet the increasing demands on engineering
materials. The performance of materials can be improved by combining different
materials to achieve better properties than with a single constituent, or by shaping
the material or constituents into a specific structure. The interaction between
material and structure can occur at different length scales, such as the micro, meso,
or macro scale, and offers potential applications in very different fields.
This book series addresses the fundamental relationships between materials and
their structure on overall properties (e.g., mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical,
or magnetic properties, etc.). Experimental data and procedures are presented, as
well as methods for modeling structures and materials using numerical and
analytical approaches. In addition, the series shows how these materials engineering
and design processes are implemented and how new technologies can be used to
optimize materials and processes.
Advanced Structured Materials is indexed in Google Scholar and Scopus.

Preface and Acknowledgements
This book presents a selection of contributions, dealing with the application of
Mechanical Engineering in the field of Cultural Heritage, presented at the 3rd
Florence Heri-Tech International Conference, held on May 16–18, 2022, in Firenze,
Italy.
Organized under the patronage of the University of Florence with the support of
the Department of Industrial Engineering, Florence Heri-Tech gathered researchers
and experts in the field of “heritage science and related technologies” to disseminate
their recent research at an international level as well as to draw new inspiration.
The Conference was part of the 2022 Florence International Biennial for Art and
Restoration, an international event attracting prestigious institutions and companies
and creating a unique opportunity to bring together the academic world with industry.
The overarching goal of Florence Heri-Tech is to promote European mobility
and cooperation among researchers, students, and practitioners, to further Europe’s
growth as a multicultural society, and to promote the idea that scientific-cultural
research must be an important part of society. Furthermore, the Conference intends
to foster international networks between universities, training institutions, and
businesses in order to foster long-term partnership prospects.
More than 80 experts, coordinated by General Chairs and supported by a high-
level Technical and Scientific Committee, were involved in the review process, which
led to the selection of 22 papers (out of 101 papers submitted at the Conference and
146 abstracts received by the Scientific Committee). The overall number of authors
involved was 154. Contributions focus on multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary
research concerning the use of innovative materials, methods, and technologies for
documenting, managing, preserving, and communicating cultural heritage.
The editors would like to personally thank everyone participating in the review
process for their dedication and skill at the service of the Conference. Special appre-
ciation goes to the members of the Technical and Scientific Committees who made
it possible for the Conference to take place.
The Conference prestige was enhanced by the participation of Honorary Chairs:
Prof. Dei, Prof. Baglioni, Prof. Bonsanti, Prof. Cappellini, Prof. Cather, Prof. Ciatti,
Prof. Colombini, Prof. Rodrigues, Prof. Santos, and Prof. Sgamellotti. General Chairs
