PREVIOUS POSITIONS

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITA’ DI BOLOGNA, SSD ING-IND/04, JULY 2001 - DECEMBER 2021

- RESEARCH GRANT

DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITA’ DI PISA, JULY 2000 – JUNE 2001

Development of a Multi-Disciplinar Optimization Software for Non-Conventional Aircraft Configurations”; the research subject is the multidisciplinary optimization and preliminary design of a biplane transport aircraft with opposite swept wings connected in a box wing configuration. Work carried out in collaboration of a set of Italian universities and EADS Germany

- RESEARCH GRANT

DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITA’ DI PISA, DECEMBER 1999 – JUNE 2000

Evaluation of Mixed Mode delamination propagation and Compression After Impact behavior in composite materials; experimental test campaign and finite elements analyses for the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon/epoxy systems within the framework of EU FP6 project.

 

- PhD IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

POLITECNICO DI MILANO – UNIVERSITA’ DI PISA, NOVEMBER 1996 – FEBRUARY 2000

Research: A numerical model for the evaluation of delamination behavior based on the Strain Energy Release Rate (SERR) has been developed. The results have been compared with experimental tests on a CFRP non-symmetrical sandwich with Nomex core. Under fatigue loads, the delamination reaches a stable condition. The analysis showed that the propagation is strongly influenced by local instability phenomena and is therefore necessary to consider the different opening mode contributions to the SERR. Propagation threshold diagrams have been developed through an experimental mixed mode test campaign.

Thesis title: An Energetic Criterion for the Study of Delamination Arrest in Composite Materials

 

- MSc IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

UNIVERSITA’ DI PISA, 1996

Research: The fatigue life of stiffened sheets with multiple side damage (collinear array of cracks) has been evaluated and the Stress Intensity Factor is obtained by an analytical approach. A closed form solution has been developed by the theory of complex variable functions. The results have been compared with a Finite Element Method software (MSC/NASTRAN) and an approximate method (Compound Functions).

Thesis title: Stress Intensity Factor evaluation in stiffened sheets with multiple side damage: an application of the complex variable functions theory
