A technical report on the surface-energy and morphology-based screening for electrode/electrolyte interface compatibility in SOFC/ReSOC materials
Guido Violano, Luciano Afferrante
The performance and durability of solid oxide fuel cells and reversible solid oxide cells are strongly affected by the electrode-electrolyte interface, where charge transfer, ionic…
Theory of fracture initiation and propagation in viscoelastic media
Giuseppe Carbonea, Cosimo Mandriotab, Guido Violanob +2
Crack initiation and propagation are fundamental problems in materials science, often leading to catastrophic failure. While fracture in elastic solids occurs instantaneously above…
In-Process Monitoring of Gear Power Honing Using Vibration Signal Analysis and Machine Learning
Massimo Capurso, Luciano Afferrante
In modern gear manufacturing, stringent Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) requirements demand high-precision finishing operations such as power honing. Conventional quality con…
Finite deformations induce friction hysteresis in normal wavy contacts
M. Ceglie, G. Violano, L. Afferrante +1
Since Hertz's pioneering work in 1882, contact mechanics traditionally grounds on linear elasticity, assuming small strains and displacements. However, recent experiments clearly h…
Role of viscoelasticity in the adhesion of mushroom-shaped pillars
Guido Violano, Savino Dibitonto, Luciano Afferrante
Mushroom-shaped pillars have been extensively studied for their superior adhesive properties, often drawing inspiration from natural attachment systems observed in insects. Typical…
