This volume, published in honor of Prof. Luigi Crocco, appears when Luigi Crocco celebrates his 75th birthday of a life devoted to study, research, and teaching. The events in his life and World War II forced Luigi Crocco, as well as other Italian scientists, to look to foreign countries for the calm haven so vital to study. This notwithstanding, his scientific activity was never inter rupted, and this volume is an acknowledgment of scientists and researchers to his work and life. Prefazione Questo volume in onore del prof. ing. Luigi Crocco vede la luce quando Luigi Crocco compie i 75 anni di una vita dedicata allo studio, alia ricerca e all'insegnamento. a Le vicende della vita, ed anche della 2 guerra mondiale, hanno costretto Luigi Crocco, come altri scienziati italiani, a dover cercare in altri Paesi quella serenita necessaria per dedicarsi allo studio. Ma la sua attivita scientifica non ha avuto interruzioni e questo volume essere la testimonianza di studiosi e di ricercatori alia sua opera e alia sua vita.
