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.

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.

Description

Supervisors:
Siddhartha Ommi/Giulio Sciarra

A PhD position between École des Ponts ParisTech and University of Pavia is available starting October 2024. The position is part of the EU-funded project MISCEA, which is an ambitious inter- and multidisciplinary Doctoral Training Network under the Horizon-Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND.

DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES: There is strong evidence that global climate change is likely to increase seismic activity. Thus, there is a growing need of efficient strategies for mitigating the impact of earthquakes on infrastructures. The relevance of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-based dampers in seismic protection has already been demonstrated in several works. However, one drawback is that the material behavior is strongly nonlinear and difficult to model in detail. Moreover, SMAs are expensive materials with a relatively high carbon footprint. In this context, besides advanced simulation tools, the design of SMA dampers can also benefit from recent advances in metamaterials and additive manufacturing. These are fundamental for producing complex geometries with improved performances, tuning the design based on the type of building where the damper is used, and reducing production costs and times, in conjuction with a potential decrease of emissions and consequently of the carbon footprint of the part production, that is fundamental for their application and commercialization.The aim of this PhD project is to develop new numerical strategies and topology optimization approaches for SMAs, allowing for the advanced simulation and optimization of SMA-based architected damping systems in the dynamic regime. The validation of the approach will be possibly assessed by manufacturing and testing the optimized structures made of NiTi SMAs.
