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 ...
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 ...
Computational Techniques for Novel Design of Long-Span Bridges Considering Aeroelastic Phenomena
(ASCE, 2020)
[Abstract] Optimization techniques have demonstrated their capability to obtain economic and sustainable designs while meeting the performance and safety requirements in a number of engineering disciplines. In the bridge ...
Aerostructural Optimization of Long Span Bridges: Current Advances and Challenges
(ASCE, 2020)
[Abstract] This paper describes the evolution of deck shape of long span bridges since the Tacoma Narrows collapse trying to avoid undesirable aerodynamic behavior under wind flow and the trend in the last decades to ...
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 ...
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[Abstract] Most of the water pipe infrastructure is outdated; therefore, frequent maintenance and repair works are required.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, ...
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 ...
Crashworthiness Analysis and Enhancement of Aircraft Structures Under Vertical Impact Scenarios
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2020)
[Abstract] This research focuses on the crashworthiness study and enhancement of commercial aircraft
structures by developing crushable energy absorbers to work as vertical struts. To assess their
contribution on a ...
