Corso di Dottorato Culture del Progetto, ambito Innovazione per il Costruire e per il Patrimonio Culturale

Antonella Cecchi e Daniele Baraldi segnalano la pubblicazione del bando per l’ammissione al corso di Dottorato ‘Culture del Progetto’ della Scuola di Dottorato Iuav, A.A. 2023/2024 – XXXIX ciclo.

Gli obiettivi formativi del corso riguardano la ricerca scientifica in diversi ambiti disciplinari, tra i quali è presente ‘Innovazione per il costruire e per il patrimonio culturale’, a cui sono assegnati 2 posti con borsa di studio.

La ricerca scientifica in tale ambito ha lo scopo di fornire ai dottorandi competenze specifiche nel settore della progettazione strutturale di costruzioni nuove ed esistenti, con particolare riferimento a quelle di interesse storico. I principali aspetti che si intende approfondire riguardano: la modellazione a livello di materiale, di porzioni di struttura, di macro elementi e di struttura nel suo complesso, la sperimentazione, il miglioramento sismico, l’uso di materiali strutturali di ultima generazione ma anche l’uso di tecniche tradizionali. Inoltre si affronteranno i temi della valutazione di sicurezza e della riduzione del rischio da eventi naturali, di manufatti esistenti e di nuova realizzazione sulla base di una visione unitaria dei problemi di definizione degli hazard, di valutazione del comportamento delle costruzioni esistenti funzionale ad una riduzione della invasività degli interventi, di scelta dell’impianto strutturale delle nuove
costruzioni guidato dalla prevenzione degli effetti di tali eventi. I temi della sicurezza e della riduzione del rischio agli eventi naturali vengono affrontati estendendo le citate metodologie di indagine anche ai temi degli involucri edilizi, abbracciando aspetti di durabilità e di resilienza.

Posti disponibili per l’intero corso di dottorato (2 per l’ambito disciplinare segnalato):

n. 22 con borsa di studio di dottorato
n. 4 senza borsa di studio
n. 2 riservati a borsisti di stati esteri
n. 1 riservato a borsisti in specifici programmi di mobilità internazionale

La scadenza per presentare la domanda di ammissione alle valutazioni comparative è giovedì 4 maggio 2023 alle ore 13.

PhD scholarship: “Development of unsupervised data-driven techniques to discover constitutive laws hidden in large volumes of data”

Data-driven computing is becoming a new paradigm in several scientific fields with a tremendous impact on new technologies. In solid mechanics, the availability of large volumes of data through modern experimental techniques is enabling machine learning methods to open new perspectives in material modelling. In the framework of the research activities of Spoke 7 “Materials & Molecular Sciences” of the National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing, the present PhD project will be focused on the development and implementation of unsupervised data-driven techniques to automatically discover constitutive laws hidden in large volumes of data. Unsupervised approaches require no stress data. Therefore, the methods will have to rely only on full-field displacements and global reaction forces data. The project aims at developing these approaches for materials with complex behaviour, such as rate-dependent, shape memory, temperature-responsive, etc.

PhD scholarship: ” Isogeometric analysis-based models for shape changing structures with applications to patient-tailored stents”

The PhD research activity will be carried out within the project “A new efficient and accurate isogeometric analysis approach to the simulation of shape-changing artery stents—towards patient-tailored 4D printed stents”. The project, carried out in collaboration with DIEF and DMSC of the University of Florence in the framework of the Tuscany Health Ecosystem THE, aims to develop an innovative process to simulate, optimize and print (4D Printing) patient-tailored cardiovascular stents. Recent computational techniques based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) turned out to be, for a given accuracy level, exceptionally faster than existing methodologies based on the standard finite element method in simulating the structural behaviour of such systems. In this context, the objective of the research is to develop an efficient computational model based on IGA for structural systems with complex geometries able to simulate the shape-changing process required for the personalization of the device.

Application deadline: Novembre, 10 2022, 12:00
