L’altro e le sue immagini. Note sul soliloquio
2016
The paper examines the soliloquy activity by means of some conceptual artifacts borrowed from three research programs: 1) the Enunciative Narratology of René Rivara; 2) the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations of Antoine Culioli; 3) the Dialogical Syntax of John Du Bois. It is composed by three parts. In the first one, we discuss some definitions of soliloquy. The second part is devoted to the analysis of some aspects of such activity with particular reference to some language operations: a) laminations of voice; b) construction of the (interior) co-enunciator. Finally, in the last part we examine some questions that remain open in the debate on soliloquy activity.
Modelling unilateral damage effect in strongly anisotropic materials by the introduction of the loading mode in damage mechanics
1999
Abstract Damage weakens the mechanical characteristics of materials. But this weakening can disappear if the cracks close again: this is called the unilateral effect of damage. We propose a model of this phenomenon using damage mechanics in the case of a diffuse network of identical microcracks. The microcracks state is defined with two internal state variables. These two variables are control parameters of the geometry of the microcracks. They also define the loading mode in damage mechanics as in fracture mechanics. In order to limit the anisotropy induced by the microcracks, hence by the loading, we suppose that the geometry of damage spreads into preferential directions. Therefore, this…
Boundary Integral Formulation for Composite Laminates in Torsion
1997
The three-dimensional elastic stress state in a general composite laminate under twisting load is given. The analysis is carried out through an integral equation formulation that is numerically solved by the boundary element method. The integral representation of the elastic behavior is deduced by means of the reciprocity theorem applied to the actual response of each ply and the problem's analytical singular fundamental solutions. The interface continuity conditions due to perfect bonding are considered to complete the laminate mathematical model. The method permits the analysis for generally stacked laminates having general shape of the cross section. By virtue of the formulation characte…
Stress fields in general composite laminates
1996
A direct approach is employed to obtain a general boundary integral formulation for the analysis of composite laminates subjected to uniform axial strain. The integral equations governing the problem are directly deduced from the reciprocity theorem, employing the generalized orthotropic elasticity fundamental solutions expressly inferred. The solution is achieved by the boundary element method, which gives, once the traction-free boundary conditions and the interfacial continuity conditions are enforced, a linear system of algebraic equations. The formulation does not present restrictions with regard to the laminate stacking sequence and it does not require any aprioristic assumption. The …

Investigation on the influence of the surface resin rich layer on the thermoelastic signal from different composite laminate lay-ups
2006
This work presents a set of experimental results based on the measured thermoelastic signal from GRP composite coupons adopting different lay-ups. A comparison is made with the thermoelastic signal predicted by two different analytical models: one based on the classical law of the thermoelastic effect for orthotropic materials, and the other based on a novel theory accounting for the presence of a resin layer on the external surface of the composite structure. The composite coupons were designed such to determine a significant difference in the predictions made by the two theoretical models. Experimental results have shown a far better match with the predictions based on the novel theory ac…
Thermal and hydrothermal ageing of bio-based composite/metal hybrid materials. Application to the development of ultra-light and durable street furni…
2021
In the perspectives of the future city, the progressive use of autonomous vehicles seems to become unavoidable. The preparation of an adequate framework for the deployment of this future mobility represents an important issue. This requires revisiting the urban infrastructures of cities from the choice of material to the design, and to propose solutions based on mobile street furniture. Faced with this challenge, hybrid materials such fibre metal laminates (FML) present interesting characteristics. FML made of plant fibre composites are of particular interest to minimize their environmental impact. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to design and manufacture plant-fibre metal laminates a…

An analytical solution for multilayered beams subjected to ends loads
2014
An alternative model for multilayered beams undergoing axial, shear and bending loads applied at the beam's ends is developed. It is based on a layer-wise kinematics, which inherently fulfills the equilibrium equations at layer level and the interface continuity conditions. This kinematics is suitably expressed by introducing a set of generalized variables representative of the beam midline displacement field, which become the primary variables of the problem governing equations. As a consequence, the proposed beam model exhibits the computational characteristics of an equivalent single layer model and possesses the accuracy of layer-wise beam theories, as well. Closed form solutions for di…
A one-dimensional model for dynamic analysis of generally layered magneto-electro-elastic beams
2013
Abstract A new one-dimensional model for the dynamic problem of magneto-electro-elastic generally laminated beams is presented. The electric and magnetic fields are assumed to be quasi-static and a first-order shear beam theory is used. The electro-magnetic problem is first solved in terms of the mechanical variables, then the equations of motion are written leading to the problem governing equations. They involve the same terms of the elastic dynamic problem weighted by effective stiffness coefficients, which take the magneto-electro-mechanical couplings into account. Additional terms, which involve the third spatial derivative of the transverse displacement, also occur as a result of the …
