PhD Course: An Introduction to Nonlinear Solid Mechanics

The course is delivered to the PhD students of Trento University and of Politecnico di Milano, but is open to all other interested PhD students (and only PhD students, which means no Professors, no Master Students) in Italy and abroad. Classes will be delivered online by Anna Pandolfi in the period November 7 – November 14, 2024.

Posizioni di Dottorato – Structural consolidation interventions using innovative materials for the preservation of historical and monumental masonry buildings

The Italian historical and monumental built heritage, which represents an enormous socio-cultural and economic asset, is mostly comprised of buildings with load-bearing masonry structures. As is well known, the mechanical characteristics of this material depend on several factors, including the properties of the constituent materials, the brickwork, the quality of the structural connections, etc. However, its most peculiar characteristic is the low tensile strength compared to the compressive one. This often leads to buildings being vulnerable to applied forces, particularly seismic actions. Therefore, the analysis and development of specific intervention procedures are proposed, based on the use of composite and other innovative materials, to mitigate vulnerability of masonry structures. The research will be carried out through specific experimental investigations as well as the development of appropriate predictive models.

Maffeis Design Challenge

Maffeis Engineering S.p.A., in partership con SISCo (Società Italiana di Scienza delle Costruzioni), ha appena pubblicato tre bandi di concorso rivolti agli studenti universitari iscritti alle Facoltà di Ingegneria Civile, Edile e Ambientale che desiderano mettere alla prova le proprie abilità innovative e progettuali:

#1 “Innovazione Strutturale: Progettare il Passato con la Tecnologia del Futuro” offre l’opportunità di riscrivere la storia dell’ingegneria, sfidando i partecipanti a riprogettare un’opera strutturale di fama internazionale utilizzando le più recenti tecnologie di progettazione parametrica (locandina).

#2 “Sfida AI: Rivoluziona i flussi di lavoro” offre una opportunità per aguzzare l’ingegno e dimostrare competenza e creatività nell’applicazione dell’intelligenza artificiale (AI) nei processi di progettazione ingegneristici (locandina).

#3 “Embodied Carbon: Generative Design” offre l’opportunità di contribuire all’aggiornamento dei processi progettuali aziendali, sfidando i partecipanti alla creazione di un flusso di lavoro per valutare impatto di embodied carbon nelle scelte progettuali, di facciate e/o strutture, utilizzando le più recenti tecnologie di progettazione parametrica (locandina).

Le scadenza per la presentazione delle candidature è fissata alle ore ore 10:00 del 1 luglio 2024.

I testi dei bandi sono disponibili all’indirizzo:

Modeling unstable gas infiltration through initially saturated geomaterials

Modeling unstable gas infiltration through a saturated rock formation is a paramount issue in a wide range of engineering problems especially in the fields of energy storage, greenhouse gas sequestration and radioactive waste disposal.
The project aims to develop and implement a new numerical approach for multi-phase fluid flow through porous media allowing to capture complex topological changes in liquid-gas interactions as fingering,
pinching and coalescence of one phase against the other and to investigate their effects on the mechanical response of the porous skeleton.

Deadline for application: 16/04/2024
