On the theoretical–numerical study of the HEXCALIBER mock-up thermo-mechanical behaviour
2010
Abstract Within the framework of the R&D activities promoted by European Fusion Development Agreement on the Helium-Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module to be irradiated in ITER, ENEA Brasimone and the Department of Nuclear Engineering of the University of Palermo (DIN) performed intense research activities on the modelling of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of both beryllium and lithiated ceramics pebble beds, that are envisaged to be used, respectively, as neutron multiplier and tritium breeder. In particular, the DIN developed a thermo-mechanical constitutive model for these pebble beds to be validated against the HEXCALIBER mock-up test campaign, carried out at the ENEA HE-FUS3 facilit…

Unconventional application of Image Correlation techniques on Biomaterials and cardiovascular applications
2022
Image Correlation techniques are increasing in popularity and are now suitable to investigate complex structural and fluid-dynamics of cardiovascular systems. These approaches operate through a digital correlation of a pair of images to determine physical quantities of complex systems. In this thesis, their application to the mechanical characterisation of complex biomaterials (Nitinol and soft materials), and the characterisation of complex biofluid-dynamics was investigated, with the aim to analyse their reliability and enhance their accuracy and field of application. Digital Image Correlation, supported by Infrared Thermography, was used to achieve a more in depth understanding of the me…
