Efficient Modal-Based Method for Analyzing Nonlinear Aerostatic Stability of Long-Span Bridges
(Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract] An efficient method for analyzing the nonlinear aerostatic stability of long-span bridges using a modal formulation is proposed. First, a simplified linear version defined as modal-based approach is introduced, ... -
Energy Absorption of Aluminium Extrusions Filled with Cellular Materials Under Axial Crushing: Study of the Interaction Effect
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] This investigation focuses on the interaction effect during the quasi-static axial crushing of circular and square thin-walled aluminium extrusions filled with polymeric foam or cork. The increment in the absorbed ... -
Experimental and Computational Studies on the Performance of Solar Trackers Under Vortex Shedding, Torsional Divergence, and Flutter
(WIT Press, 2020)[Abstract] The current development of renewable energies has originated a number of new structural typologies that are the physical support of the energy production systems. Photovoltaic energy is a very mature source and ... -
Fail-safe optimum cable system under cable breakage in cable-stayed bridges. Application to the Queensferry Crossing Bridge
(Elsevier, 2023)[Abstract:] This paper presents a methodology to optimize the cable system in cable-stayed bridges, whose main novelty is to take into account the accidental breakage of one cable within the design process. To this end, a ... -
Inclusion of Mechanical Dampers in the Multimodal Flutter Analysis of Slender Structures
(WIT Press, 2020)[Abstract] Sometimes slender structures are reinforced with mechanical dampers to reduce the vibrations caused by aeroelastic phenomena like flutter. However the formulation of flutter analysis only considers the classical ... -
Multi-bubble scheme and structural analysis of a hypersonic stratospheric flight vehicle
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract:] The STRATOFLY MR3 vehicle is the main objective of the STRATOFLY project, which aims to develop a hypersonic air breathing concept capable of covering antipodal routes in less than three hours. The aircraft ... -
Numerical simulations of the aerodynamic response of 2D circular segments by means of URANS
(WIT Press, 2016)[Abstract:] In the wind engineering field, the so-called D-section (semi-circular cylinder) has attracted some attention from researchers, since it is a galloping prone geometry. In fact, a modest number of references where ... -
Optimisation of Thin-Walled Hybrid Vertical Struts for Crashworthy Aircraft Designs
(Springer, 2020)[Abstract] This research concerns the crashworthiness enhancement of a model of a Boeing 737-200 fuselage section. Using a validated numerical specimen, four thin-walled crushable hybrid energy absorbers are added to the ... -
Size and shape optimization of aluminum tubes with GFRP honeycomb reinforcements for crashworthy aircraft structures
(Elsevier, 2015)[Abstract:] Crashworthiness optimization of aircraft and automotive structures has become one the main research targets for their respective leading industries. The following research proposes a new design of an aircraft’s ... -
Square Cylinder Under Different Turbulent Intensity Conditions by Means of Small-Scale Turbulence
(WIT Press, 2021)[Abstract] The phenomenon of turbulence is present in almost every type of flow in practical applications. Depending on its level of intensity and length scale, it can modify both the aerodynamic and aeroelastic performance ... -
Study of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder by means of 2D URANS simulations
(WIT Press, 2018)[Abstract:] Flexible structures, such as cable-supported bridges, are prone to suffer from vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) under wind flow, as their span lengths are steadily growing in the last decades. VIV is a phenomenon ... -
Testing and simulation of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg components under quasi-static loading
(Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] An experimental and numerical study on the quasi-static loading of AlSi10Mg square boxes produced by selective laser melting (SLM) was carried out. The goal was to evaluate the applicability of common finite ... -
Verification Approaches for the 3D Static LES Simulations of the Stonecutters Bridge Deck
(WIT Press, 2021)[Abstract] In computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, verification is the process of identifying both the spatial and the temporal discretisations providing relatively insensitive model results. The underlying goal ... -
Wave Celerity in Hydraulic Transients Computation for CIPP-Rehabilitated Pipes
(WIT Press, 2020)[Abstract] Most of the water pipe infrastructure is outdated; therefore, frequent maintenance and repair works are required. To speed up the rehabilitation work and to have a more sustainable and efficient approach, ...
