ANALISI DEL COMPORTAMENTO AD INDENTAZIONE IN TRAVI SANDWICH IN COMPOSITO CON ANIMA IN SCHIUMA POLIMERICA
2010
Nel presente lavoro si propone una estensione dei modelli basati sulla teoria delle travi vincolate su una fondazione cedevole di tipo Winkler per lo studio del comportamento ad indentazione di travi sandwich in schiuma polimerica sollecitate da carichi concentrati. L’approccio proposto è in grado di considerare schiume polimeriche aventi comportamento a compressione di tipo non lineare. Sono derivate soluzioni analitiche in forma chiusa della curva di indentazione per anime in schiuma polimerica il cui comportamento a compressione è approssimabile con un andamento bi-lineare. In tal modo è possibile considerare comportamenti di softening o hardening della schiuma nel tratto post-elastico. …
A New Thermal Theory for Thermo-Mechanical Analysis of Composites
2009
The use of laminated and sandwich construction to achieve multi-functional objectives within a single structure continues to increase. It is especially desirable to use laminated construction in structures exposed to thermal loading, where heat resistant coating materials may be bonded to traditional structural materials. Design of such structures requires an accurate analysis of stresses induced by thermal as well as mechanical loads. A novel laminated plate theory and 3D finite element model based on first-order zig-zag sublaminate approximations are presented for thermal stress analysis of composite laminates and sandwich plates. The finite element is developed with the topology of an ei…
Investigation on the behaviour of fully thermoplastic composite sandwich beams under concentrated loads
2009
The recent development of new low cost manufacturing processes adopting thermoplastic matrices in the production of structural long fibre reinforced laminates is fostering an increasing interest towards this class of materials. The automotive sector in particular is attracted by the high energy absorbing, damage tolerance performances and manufacturing and recycling potentials of structural thermoplastic composites. In this study a number of fully thermoplastic sandwich beams have been manufactured in order to investigate flexural and shear rigidity performances as well as the indentation behavior under static concentrated loads.
OTTIMIZZAZIONE DI UNA GIUNZIONE INCOLLATA A DOPPIA SOVRAPPOSIZIONE PER SANDWICH IN COMPOSITO
2016
Grazie alle peculiari performances meccaniche, quali soprattutto l’elevata resistenza a flessione unita ad un basso peso specifico, le strutture sandwich in composito sono sempre più frequentemente utilizzate nella moderna progettazione industriale. Nel presente lavoro, considerando un composito sandwich con skins in vetroresina e core in PVC espanso, è stato eseguito uno studio numerico e sperimentale al fine di individuare la configurazione ottimale di una giunzione incollata a doppia sovrapposizione avente quali aderendi esterni le stesse skins del sandwich e aderendo interno costituito da un inserto in metallo o in composito. In dettaglio, previa preliminare ottimizzazione teorica della…

End-to-end Bandwidth Estimation in the Wide Internet
2010
The quest for bandwidth estimation techniques for large-scale distributed systems
2010
In recent years the research community has developed many techniques to estimate the end-to-end available bandwidth of an Internet path. This important metric can be potentially exploited to optimize the performance of several distributed systems and, even, to improve the effectiveness of the congestion control mechanism of TCP. Thus, it has been suggested that some existing estimation techniques could be used for this purpose. However, existing tools were not designed for large-scale deployments and were mostly validated in controlled settings, considering only one measurement running at a time. In this paper, we argue that current tools, while offering good estimates when used alone, migh…
Large-Scale Available Bandwidth Measurements: Interference in Current Techniques
2011
The end-to-end available bandwidth of an Internet path is a desirable information that can be exploited to optimize system performance. Several tools have been proposed in the past to estimate it. However, existing measurement techniques were not designed for large-scale deployments. In this paper we show that current tools do not properly work where multiple probing processes share a portion of a path. We provide experimental evidence to quantify the impact of mutual interference between measurements. We further analyze the characteristics of popular tools, quantifying (i) the impact of mutual interference, (ii) the total overhead imposed to the network and (iii) the intrusiveness of the m…
