La salute delle strutture molli e dure del cavo orale è essenziale non solo per preservare le funzioni ad esse direttamente associate, ma anche per promuovere la salute generale dell’organismo. Tra le problematiche di maggiore interesse clinico a carico della cavità orale ritroviamo: i) le complicazioni post-operatorie che possono verificarsi a seguito di comuni avulsioni dentali che, se non trattate tempestivamente, possono sfociare in gravi parodontiti; ii) i fenomeni di osteonecrosi a carico di mascella e mandibola associate a trattamenti farmacologici nonché alla radioterapia; iii) il carcinoma orale a cellule squamose (OSCC) che è tra i più aggressivi tumori del collo e della testa, ca…

Indagine sperimentale su nodi di tralicci in acciaio di travi reticolari miste

Results of experimental tests on welded joints of steel truss of encased composite steel-concrete beams are presented. The welding of the inclined web bars to top bars, both of steel type B450C, and to bottom steel plate, the latter made of S355 steel type, are tested. Two analytical expressions for prediction of welding strength are derived: the one based on a resistance criterion and the other based on a limit domain of the welding section. Guidelines for choosing the effective dimensions of the fillet weld, necessary to determine the strength, are provided. A high precision digital scanner is used to validate the suggested guidelines to determine the geometrical characteristics of the fi…
ANALISI TEORICO-SPERIMENTALE DEL COMPORTAMENTO A TAGLIO DI TRAVI PREFABBRICATE RETICOLARI MISTE
2014
An experimental campaign of three-point bending tests on specimens of Hybrid Steel Trussed Concrete Beams (HSTCBs) is presented. The scope of the experiments is the evaluation of the shear strength in the structural typology object of study. Two series of specimens are tested, subjected to positive and negative bending moment, respectively, with the aim to reproduce, in the first case, the condition in the midspan of a beam belonging to a framed structure and, in the second case, the behavior of the beam next to the column where the sign of the bending moment is reversed. The obtained experimental results are interpreted by means of an analytical model for the prediction of the shear resist…
Evaluation of the shear connection strength of precast hybrid steel-trussed-concrete composite beams
2015
In last decades, significant efforts have been carried out by the scientific community to evaluate the main technical issues of Hybrid Steel-Trussed-Concrete beams, investigating both the first opera-tive phase, i.e. before the concrete casting, when only the bare truss works, and, the second phase, i.e. after the concrete curing, when the beam works as a composite element. In the present study, the attention is focused on the evaluation of the shear strength of the connection between the bottom plate of the steel truss and the concrete core proposing a mechanical model able to predict its ulti-mate resistance. The proposed mechanical formulation is mainly based on the extension of existing…
Effectiveness of Flax-TRM composites under traction
2023
The scientific research in the field of masonry structures is increasingly welcoming the adoption of innovative and sustainable rehabilitation techniques aimed at the safeguarding of the Built Cultural Heritage. Textile Reinforced Matrix (TRM) composites are the most widely investigated strengthening systems for ancient masonry structures, thanks to their high compatibility level with the material substrates in terms of fire resistance, chemical/physical aspects, reversibility property, little impact on dimensions, stiffness and weight. Nevertheless, in the last years, the growing concern on sustainability increased the interest in products with low environmental impact, for promoting circu…
Advances in experimental characterization and modelling of FRCM composites for structural retrofitting
2023
Questa tesi presenta i risultati di una campagna sperimentale incentrata sulla caratterizzazione della trazione dei basalt e glass FRCM e della caratterizzazione del legame di aderenza composito-Calcarenite. Il lavoro sperimentale è completato dalla proposta di due modelli numerici sia per prove di trazione che per quelle di aderenza. L'indagine sperimentale è stata condotta considerando l'influenza di diversi rinforzi, matrici e metodi di prova. I risultati sperimentali consentono di valutare l'effetto della malta sulle curve sforzo-deformazione, la resistenza, la duttilità e le modalità di crisi. Inoltre, la tesi fornisce un importante contributo per valutare l'influenza di diversi metodi…
The durability of carbon fiber/epoxy composites under hydrothermal ageing
2011
Studies on fibre reinforced composites are now receiving greater attention. Industrial applications have been successful in areas like aerospace, automobile, marine, construction and sporting goods. The first generation of epoxy resins for use in carbon fibre composites are able to achieve optimized high stiffness modules and high heat resistance by a high crosslink density, reached through thermal curing. However, these formulations can be very toxic and brittle with low crack resistance, which was a major disadvantage for structural applications. In the last years the use of ionizing radiation as alternative to thermal curing has been proposed as an environmentally friendly process. Furth…
Virtual Element based formulations for computational materials micro-mechanics and homogenization
2021
In this thesis, a computational framework for microstructural modelling of transverse behaviour of heterogeneous materials is presented. The context of this research is part of the broad and active field of Computational Micromechanics, which has emerged as an effective tool both to understand the influence of complex microstructure on the macro-mechanical response of engineering materials and to tailor-design innovative materials for specific applications through a proper modification of their microstructure. While the classical continuum approximation does not account for microstructural details within the material, computational micromechanics allows detailed modelling of a heterogeneous…
