On the effects of suitably designed space microstructures in the propagation of waves in time modulated composites
Ornella Mattei, Vincenzo Gulizzi
The amplitude of a pulse that propagates in a homogeneous material whose properties are instantaneously changed periodically in time will undergo an exponential increase, due to th…
Limit analysis of strut nets
Ada Amendola, Antonio Fortunato, Fernando Fraternali +3
Truss structures composed of members that work exclusively in tension or in compression appear in several problems of science and engineering, e.g., in the study of the resisting m…
Determining the volume fraction in 2-phase composites and bodies using time varying applied fields
Ornella Mattei, Graeme W. Milton, Mihai Putinar
A body containing two phases, which may form a periodic composite with microstructure much smaller that the body, or which may have structure on a length scale comparable to th…
The obstacle problem in masonry structures and cable nets
Ada Amendola, Ornella Mattei, Graeme W. Milton +1
We consider the problem of finding a net that supports prescribed forces applied at prescribed points, yet avoids certain obstacles, with all the elements of the net under compress…
