Fractality in selfsimilar minimal mass structures
D. De Tommasi, F. Maddalena, G. Puglisi +1
In this paper we study the diffusely observed occurrence of Fractality and Self-organized Criticality in mechanical systems. We analytically show, based on a prototypical compresse…

A predictive model for protein materials: from macromolecules to macroscopic fibers
G. Puglisi, D. De Tommasi, M. F. Pantano +2
We propose a model for the mechanical behavior of protein materials. Based on a limited number of experimental macromolecular parameters (persistence and contour lengths, rate of u…

Failure mechanisms in thin electroactive polymer actuators
D. De Tommasi, G. Puglisi, G. Saccomandi +1
We propose a model to analyze the insurgence of pull-in and wrinkling failures in electroactive thin films. We take in consideration both cases of voltage and charge control, and s…
