Towards a phase-field model for thin structures: a coarse-grained constitutive law for brittle fracture of beams
Giovanni Corsi, Antonino Favata, Stefano Vidoli
Damage gradient models approximate fracture mechanics using a modulation of the material stiffness. To this aim a single scalar field, the damage, is used to degrade as a whole the…

The aerodynamic response of a pre-stressed elastically nonlinear aileron
Giovanni Corsi, Francesco Battista, Paolo Gualtieri +1
We study the aerodynamic response of a pre-stressed curved aileron. Whilst the fluid flow is standard (high Reynolds air flow undisturbed at infinity), the structure is designed to…
