The role of evanescent modes in Global-Local analysis of UGW in plates with varying local zone-scatterer relations
2023
In order to provide a reliable and robust SHM performance, Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGWs) need to be analyzed and understood. Numerical modeling of UGW propagation and scattering by hybrid methods offers the possibility of simulating UGW interaction with waveguides of arbitrary cross-sections and discontinuities. Maximizing the accuracy of such methods is important to perform quantitative SHM, while maintaining minimum computational cost. This work investigates the role of evanescent modes in the numerical analysis of UGWs in aluminum and composite plates with defects, by the hybrid Global-Local method. The complex solutions to the UGW eigenvalue problem are found and the scattering spectra…

On Constraint Handling in Surrogate-Assisted Evolutionary Many-Objective Optimization
2016
Surrogate-assisted evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithms are often used to solve computationally expensive problems. But their efficacy on handling constrained optimization problems having more than three objectives has not been widely studied. Particularly the issue of how feasible and infeasible solutions are handled in generating a data set for training a surrogate has not received much attention. In this paper, we use a recently proposed Kriging-assisted evolutionary algorithm for many-objective optimization and investigate the effect of infeasible solutions on the performance of the surrogates. We assume that constraint functions are computationally inexpensive and consid…

Interface behaviour of bonded CFRP-Calcarenite stone joints
2010
This paper presents the results of an experimental study investigating the interface behaviour between calcarenite stone and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) reinforcement. The analysis of the results has allowed to deduce the local behaviour at the interface, which can be modelled by means of a bi-linear shear stress-slip law, according to several codes. The experimental investigation was carried out on specimens subjected to double shear pulling tests by varying the bond length of the CRFP strips. Tests enabled determination of the bond strength of the joint and the effective bond length. The parameters of the stress-slip law were calibrated on the experimental results in order to c…

L’autore affronta il delicato e controverso tema della c.d. cameralizzazione del processo civile, indagando sulla natura, contenziosa o volontaria, di taluni specifici provvedimenti emessi nella procedura fallimentare e traendone le conseguenze in tema di ricorribilità per cassazione ex art. 111 Cost. o revocabilità. In particolare l’autore distingue, in particolare, il decreto che rigetta la conversione in fallimento di una procedura di amministrazione straordinaria ex lege Prodi da quello che riforma il provvedimento già emesso di conversione in fallimento. The author addresses the delicate and controversial theme of the so called cameralization of the civil trial, investigating the natur…
Clasificación de los costes de calidad en la gestión de la calidad total
2004
Resumen: En este trabajo queremos resaltar la importancia de los costes de calidad, entrando en el fondo de su definición y no centrarnos sólo en las clasificaciones generalmente aceptadas, si no, que a partir de estas plantear una clasificación más profunda y extensa, en donde se puedan clasificar los costes de calidad, además de por los conceptos tradicionales, por conceptos como el origen de los mismos costes.

Diritto pubblico europeo delle relazioni familiari e processo di europeizzazione dei diritti.
2012
Il processo di integrazione europea e la Cedu hanno esercitato ed esercitano un'influenza molto rilevante sulla configurazione dei diritti fondamentali relativi alle relazioni familiari, così come declinate nei diversi ordinamenti nazionali. Ciò appare visibile nella giurisprudensa della Corte Edu e della Corte di Giustizia Ue relativa alle unioni omosessuali. In particolare emerge come la normativa sovranazionale debba agire da fattore per un movimento di integrazione indiretta, che detti solo elementi essenziali, senza imporre agli stati e alle loro identità costituzionali effetti di omogeinizzazione delle diversità.
