The goal of this research project is to develop continuum structures capable of morphing between different stable shapes without the need for complex mechanisms or conventional actuators. Potential applications encompass the field of deployable architectural structures, aeronautics (shape-changing aerodynamic panels, variable geometry engine exhausts and reconfigurable airplane wings), optics (shape-changing mirrors for active focusing in adaptive optical systems), and micro electromechanical systems (micro-switches, mechanical memory cells, valves, micro-pumps). The behaviour of such structures is investigated via advanced one-dimensional finite elements based on Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). Such one-dimensional finite elements are conveniently used in order to obtain a good accuracy of results in terms of displacements and stresses as well as reduced computational costs. |

Multi Body Dynamic Analysis of the 3D Synchronizer Mechanism for a transmission system |
The present poster illustrates the methodology of modeling a synchronizer mechanism through multibody dynamic analysis (MBD). For the purpose of validation, a test rig machine was used and the dynamic response of three different synchronizer mechanisms were recorded. A set of dynamic equation for each phase of synchronization were developed and a Simulink model was designed for the evaluation of the synchronizer mechanism in detail. A rigid MBD model is performed based on the physical characteristics that extracted from the experiments. In addition, a transient modal analysis was performed to show the dynamic response of the synchronizer during the shifting process. The outcome of this ongoing project is 2 journal papers (one under review and one published) and 2 conference papers (one is published and one is submitting in next month). |

CARRERA ERASMO |
This research is to find an accurate and efficient solution for the design and optimization of composite materials and structures with superior performances regarding strength and stiffness for lightweight applications. Two activities have been investigated about this topic: 1 A multi-scale model of fibre reinforced beams using hierarchical one-dimensional finite elements. In this study, the Fourier-related double scale analysis and the multi-level finite element method (FE2) are combined to reduce the computational cost. This non-linear multi-scale system is solved by the Asymptotic Numerical Method (ANM). 2 A novel FE2 method based Fourier macroscopic model for instability phenomena of long fiber reinforced composites. At structural level, several higher-order refined beam theories can be easily implemented on the basis of Carrera's unified formulation (CUF). Within the framework of FE2 method, a coupled two-scale model is obtained. |

Progettazione di un braccetto inferiore multi materiale per una sospensione McPherson |
L'argomento di ricerca riguarda la progettazione, l’analisi virtuale ed il testing di un braccetto multi materiale (composito+metallo) per una sospensione McPherson. L'obiettivo del lavoro riguarda l’ottimizzazione delle prestazioni strutturali e dinamiche del componente, sia dal punto di vista vibrazionale che dal punto di vista della dinamica del veicolo. Per questo motivo, si è scelto di sviluppare una soluzione innovativa sulla base di un braccetto esistente di un veicolo di categoria “C-Small SUV”. La prima fase dello studio si concentra sugli effetti dovuti dalla riduzione della massa del braccetto in termini di comfort, handling e trasmissione delle vibrazioni attraverso un modello multibody. La seconda fase consiste invece nell’analisi FEM per la valutazione delle caratteristiche strutturali di base e la definizione degli obiettivi di progettazione per il componente ibrido. Infine, è stata condotta un’attività di correlazione numerico sperimentale sul componente “base” necessaria per la taratura del modello FEM in campo dinamico. |

Study of Dynamic Characteristics of Air Pad-Bearings |
Air bearings are highly used in high precision applications due to providing almost zero friction. But low stiffness and damping limit air bearing application. In this study the main concentration is to study the dynamic characteristics of air pads both using distributed and Lumped parametric methodss. In this study a lumped model is developed to be used for sensitivity analysis as it needs less computational time. In addition, on the other hand the use of zero stiffness bearing is discussed to provide the possibility of decoupling the system from environmental vibrations. Therefore, a zero stiffness bearing wa designed and manufactured. |

Analytical Modeling of Piston Ring Assembly Friction |
Piston ring-pack assembly accounts for one of the major sources of friction losses in internal combustion engines. The regime of lubrication varies during the piston cycle because of the transient nature of applied load and kinematic contact conditions; ring geometry, surface topography, and lubricant rheology also play an important role. One method to increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of an internal combustion engine is to reduce the mechanical friction power loss on lubricated surfaces of the engine. For the achievement of these goals, the instantaneous investigation of lubrication characteristics and the various improvements are indispensable. From literature studies it is found that friction between piston and cylinder falls mainly in two different regimes: mixed or boundary lubrication and hydrodynamic lubrication. The main purpose of the PhD research work is to develop analytical and numerical reliable engine friction models that could be used in transient engine simulation to predict actual engine output in terms of friction losses. |

Development and analysis of an oceanic wave energy converter |
My research activity consists in the development of a gyroscopic based wave energy converter called Iowec (Inertial Oceanic Wave Energy Converter). The design of this device starts from the resource assessment and comprehension of the ocean waves phenomena, it continues through the wave-to-wire model of the system, and ends with the experimental validation of the model and the economical assessment of an entire array of devices. |

Prognostic of flight control actuators |
The thesis topic is the Prognostic and Health Management of electromechanical and electrohydraulic flight actuators. It consists in monitoring the various actuators’ components to identify the occurrence of faults and estimate the remaining useful life. This allows the maintenance to switch from preventive to predictive. In order to achieve this goal, the development of a "high-fidelity" virtual bench (model) is paramount, based on the system's physics and reflecting its behaviour. Artificial faults and defects can be injected on this model. It can therefore be used to train the fault detection algorithm and to simulate the effects of fault growth process. Furthermore, this model can be used to compare actual and simulated trends with the aim of detecting dangerous situations. |
