Incremental auxetic response of composite lattices under isotropic prestress
Ada Amendola, Fernando Fraternali
This work studies the constitutive response of two- and three-dimensional lattice materials subject to isotropic prestress. The unit cell of the examined lattices is formed by an a…
Mechanical modeling of superelastic tensegrity braces for earthquake-proof structures
Fernando Fraternali, Filipe Santos
This paper presents a novel application of tensegrity systems as lightweight and noninvasive braces for seismically resistant structures. The analyzed braces consist of D-bar syste…
On the compact wave dynamics of tensegrity beams in multiple dimensions
Andrea Micheletti, Giuseppe Ruscica, Fernando Fraternali
This work presents a numerical investigation on the nonlinear wave dynamics of tensegrity beams in 1D, 2D and 3D arrangements. The simulation of impact loading on a chain of tenseg…
On a modified Becker-Doering model for two-phase materials
Thomas Blesgen, Ada Amendola, Fernando Fraternali
This work reconsiders the Becker-Doering model for nucleation under isothermal conditions in the presence of phase transitions. Based on thermodynamic principles a modified model i…
