MACHINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF GREEN AREAS

To give mechanics lessons to guide the students to understand the matters of the discipline; to furnish knowledge and choice criteria of the agricultural machines for the arrangement and the management of the green areas produced by anthropic actions and, more in general, for the conservation and the recovery of the environment.

Lectures with the aid of slides and the resolution of numerical exercises to apply the theoretical concepts and to solve practical problems.

Elements of applied mechanics, agricultural machines for laying out of ground and for the management of ornamental, sports and recreative green, for the recovery of man-modified environment, including techniques for their correct use and action modality. Limited mentions to the energy production from biomasses will be also provided.

The lecturer provides all the slides used to explain the arguments of the course, in order to provide a guide for the individual study. The following reference books are also suggested , although students are free to consult any other book about the same topics:
