Liquid Structures: a novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) inspired metamaterial
Paolo Gallina, Massimiliano Gei, Lorenzo Scalera +1
We present a theoretical framework for new structural metamaterials we refer to as liquid structures: a topology of bistable mechanisms made up of a high number of cells that are s…
Experimental investigation of progressive instability and collapse of no-tension brickwork pillars
Massimiliano Gei, Diego Misseroni
The progressive instability behaviour of compressed dry-stone rectangular pillars loaded with an eccentric load is assessed experimentally and compared with the theory. Photoelasti…
Optimisation of hierarchical dielectric elastomer laminated composites
Massimiliano Gei, Kudzai C. K. Mutasa
This paper is concerned with the optimisation of the actuation response of electro-elastic, rank-two laminates obtained laminating a core rank-one composite with a soft phase which…
Progressive instability in circular masonry columns
M. Broseghini, P. Zanetti, A. D. Jefferson +1
The instability behaviour of eccentrically loaded circular masonry columns is investigated. Two approaches are considered for the analysis. One is based on a semi-analytical formul…
