SUMMARY:PhDTalks | A local model of snow–firn dynamics and application to the Colle Gnifetti site
DESCRIPTION:Il nostro prossimo appuntamento con il Seminario PhDTalks si svolgerà lunedì 9 maggio 2022 nell’aula 5.1.1 dalle 18:15 alle 19:15 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Fabiola Banfi condurrà un seminario dal titolo “A local model of snow–firn dynamics and application to the Colle Gnifetti site”. \n \nAbstract: \nClimate changes require to move the boundary of firn models from snow accumulation to meteorological forcings. In this context\, we integrated the equations of snow and firn evolution into a local model. This was applied to the Colle Gnifetti site\, whose peculiarity is the intense snow erosion driven by wind. In this PhD Talk\, the model and application are presented\, with a focus on the challenges faced and still to be faced. \nL’evento sarà in presenza presso l’aula 5.1.1\, Politecnico di Milano\, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 42\, 20133 Milano.\nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSe sei interessato a presentare durante uno di questi eventi\, invia una e-mail a andrea.opreni@polimi.it se fai parte del programma ISSG oppure a chiara.recalcati@polimi.it se stai frequentando il programma IAI.

SUMMARY:Twist and Shout: Elastic Orbital Angular Momentum
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 13 Maggio si svolgerà presso l’aula De Donato (edificio 3)\, un seminario dal titolo “Twist and Shout: Elastic Orbital Angular Momentum” tenuto dal Dr. Gregory James Chaplain\, ricercatore del Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia presso l’Univeristà di Exter (UK). \nAbstract: \nWe identify that guided flexural waves in pipes carry a well-defined orbital angular momentum (OAM)\, associated with the compressional dilatational potential. The transfer of elastic OAM can be achieved through the coupling of the dilatational component of ultrasonic waves in the pipe with the pressure field in a fluid in which the pipe is partially submerged; the circumferential distribution of the stress in the pipe act as a continuous phased pressure source in the fluid\, resulting in the generation of Bessel-like acoustic beams. We demonstrate the existence of elastic OAM through theory and observe its transfer via simulation that is corroborated experimentally. \nSpeaker’s Biosketch: \nGregory is from Dundee\, Scotland\, where he lived until moving to Glasgow in 2012 to undertake an MSci in physics at the University of Glasgow. Afterwards he moved to Imperial College London where he obtained a PhD in applied mathematics under Prof. Richard Craster\, winning the Yael Dowker Prize for best mathematics PhD thesis for his research into wave propagation effects in structured materials. He continuted at Imperial as a doctoral prize research fellow before being awarded a Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibiton of 1851 at the University of Exeter in 2021.\nHis research interests include manipulating wave propagation using structured materials and metamaterials\, across a variety of wave regimes from electromagnetism to elasticity\, with a focus on applications in energy harvesting and vibration control.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Development of a σ-only twofluid model for the prediction of pseudo-homogeneous slurry pipe flow
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 24 maggio nell’aula 5.1.1 dalle 18:15 alle 19:15 CET si svolgerà il nostro prossimo incontro PhDTalks. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Qi Yang condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Development of a σ-only twofluid model for the prediction of pseudo-homogeneous slurry pipe flow”. \n \nAbstract: \nSlurry pipe flows are involved in many engineering applications. Over recent decades\, many efforts have been dedicated to slurry pipe flows due to the complexity of the system. The well established ? − ? two-fluid model is capable to predict the critical variables\, such as mean phase velocity\, concentration profile\, hydraulic gradient. Further assessment of predictive capacity of the ? − ? model was performed and an effective calibration strategy was proposed and verified. An improved ? −only model was developed and distributed through OpenFOAM. \nL’evento sarà in presenza presso l’aula 5.1.1\, Politecnico di Milano\, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 42\, 20133 Milano e live al seguente link.\nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSe sei interessato a presentare durante uno di questi eventi\, invia una e-mail a andrea.opreni@polimi.it se fai parte del programma ISSG oppure a chiara.recalcati@polimi.it se stai frequentando il programma IAI.

SUMMARY:Performance-based Optimisation of Energy Dissipation Systems for Seismic Applications
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 30 Maggio si svolgerà presso l’aula Fassò\, un seminario dal titolo “Performance-based Optimisation of Energy Dissipation Systems for Seismic Applications” tenuto dal Dr. Iman Hajirasouliha\, Professore associato in ingegneria strutturale e leader del gruppo di ingegneria sismica (EEG) presso l’Università di Sheffield\, UK. \nAbstract: \nEnergy dissipation devices are increasingly used for seismic strengthening of existing buildings or as efficient seismic resistant systems in modern construction. However\, optimum design of these devices in multi-storey buildings can be a challenging task due to their complex behaviour and high computational costs. This study presents a practical multi-criteria performance-based optimisation framework for more efficient design of non-linear dampers under seismic loads. The proposed method is based on the concept of Uniform Distribution of Damage and can significantly reduce (up to 300 times) the computational costs compared to conventional optimisation methods such as Genetic Algorithm. To improve the convergence rate\, an adaptive formulation is developed that is modified in proportion to the level of performance violation. The proposed method can be efficiently used to satisfy multiple performance objectives in line with performance-based design recommendations of current seismic codes. The efficiency of the framework is demonstrated for steel frames with non-linear viscous as well as RC frames equipped with a novel friction-based wall damper. It is found that the optimum damping distribution identified by the proposed methodology consistently leads to considerably lower local and global damage indices compared to the solutions with an equal-cost uniform damping distribution. \nSpeaker’s Biosketch: \nDr Iman Hajirasouliha is an Associate Professor in Structural Engineering and Leader of Earthquake Engineering Group (EEG) at the University of Sheffield\, UK. He has over 20 years of research and consultancy experience in the fields of earthquake engineering\, performance-based optimisation\, light-weight structures\, energy dissipation devices\, and novel strengthening techniques\, leading to over 150 refereed journal papers and 100 conference publications in these areas. He has been Principal or Co-investigator of over €9M EU and UK funded projects led by his group. Dr Hajirasouliha is a member of several national and international technical committees and research networks\, including fib Task Groups 6.6 and 7.6 and IABSE Task Group 1.1. He is currently Associate Editor of Practice Periodical on Structural Design & Construction (ASCE)\, International Journal of Earthquake and Impact Engineering (IJEIE) and Frontiers in Built Environment (Earthquake Engineering Section).

SUMMARY:Resonances of Nonlinear Mechanical Systems: a Nonlinear Normal Mode Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 29 Giugno si svolgerà presso l’aula Castigliano\, un seminario dal titolo “Resonances of Nonlinear Mechanical Systems: a Nonlinear Normal Mode Perspective” tenuto dal Prof. Gaëtan Kerschen\, Professore di Ingegneria Aerospaziale nel Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale e Meccanica dell’Università di Liegi (Belgio). \nAbstract: \nThe concept of resonance is central in structural dynamics\, because the maximum amplitude at which a system vibrates occurs at resonance frequencies. Unlike linear systems\, nonlinear systems can exhibit different types of resonances including fundamental\, superharmonic\, superharmonic\, internal and isolated resonances. In this presentation\, we will show how nonlinear modal analysis\, and\, specifically\, the numerical computation of nonlinear normal modes\, can be exploited for uncovering and understanding nonlinear resonances. The experimental identification of nonlinear normal modes will also be addressed in the talk. \nSpeaker’s Biosketch: \nGaëtan Kerschen completed his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Liège in Belgium in 2003. In 2003 and 2004\, he was a visiting postdoctoral fellow at National Technical University of Athens and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since 2007\, he has been a faculty member at the University of Liège\, where he is a professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. His expertise is primarily in the area of structural dynamics and orbital mechanics. He is the recipient of several international awards including two European Research Council (ERC) grants\, the Doak Award from the Journal of Sound and Vibration and the SAGE Publishing Young Engineer Award. He was one of the principal investigators of the OUFTI-1 nanosatellite launched by the Soyuz rocket in 2016. He is the co-founder of NOLISYS\, a startup company which provides solutions and software for nonlinear vibrating systems.

SUMMARY:SUMMER SCHOOL 2022 | Performance\, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading
DESCRIPTION:From 8 to 13 July the Summer School 2022 will take place at the Lecco Campus. \nThe new trends adopted in standards to face the structure safety in case of exceptional loads conditions will be presented. An introduction to blast and impact behaviour will be carried out by Prof. Alejandro Perez Caldentey\, followed by the exposition of numerical procedures to model blast\, fire and impact actions and their reliability when compared to experimental tests proposed by Prof. Ozbolt. Then prof. Taerwe illustrated the effectiveness of reinforced concrete when exposed to fire. Finally prof. di Prisco spoke about the possibility to improve the bearing capacity of tunnel segments when exposed to blast and fire by using layered high performance fibre reinforced solutions. \nCourse description: \nThe course on Performance\, protection\, strengthening of structures under extreme loading is offered to PhD students in Civil and Structural Engineering and MS Engineers interested to deepen the computation of structural safety of constructions subjected to exceptional loads like\, fire\, blast and impact. \nThe attendants come usually from different Universities and are Italian and foreigners. It will be offered in Hybrid modalities: in presence and in remote configuration. The official language is English. The lecturers come from four different countries: Germany\, Belgium\, Spain and Italy. \nFor the in-presence attendants\, the socialization will be favoured by the social events organized during the week-end: a trip on Lake Como and its famous villas on Saturday afternoon and an excursion to the mountains dominating the lake Como on Sunday. \nThe course is arrived to its third edition: the previous editions were nicely appreciated by both the attendants and the lecturers. The slide presented will be distributed to all the participants\, as well as many literature references. A certificate of attendance will be distributed as the end of the course. \nAt the end of the course a multiple choise form will be distributed: a minimum of 18 correct answers over 32 questions will be required to obtain the recognizing of the CFP Credits (continuous formation planned in Italy for the practitioners). A homework related to a design example will be proposed to all the PhD students: they will have around 2 months to perform it. A final discussion of the homework will be planned to obtain the final evaluation and the ECTs credits. \n  \nYou can download the registration form and the programme by cliking here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Formulation and probabilistic assessment of Diclofenac fate in a soilwater system under uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 20 Settembre in Aula Magna\, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 42\, dalle 17:30 alle 19:15 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Laura Ceresa condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Formulation and probabilistic assessment of Diclofenac fate in a soilwater system under uncertainty”.  \nAbstract: \nDrinking water resources are threatened by several contaminants. Among these\, Diclofenac (Dcf) poses major concerns due to its persistent and bioactive nature. Developing predictive tools to interpret its fate is then key to drive environmental protection actions. The modeling framework presented in this PhD talk is based on conceptualizing the molecular dynamics of Dcf biodegradation in a selected soil-water system. The geochemical model is subject to stochastic calibration through Acceptance-Rejection Sampling. The associated results fully embed uncertainty quantification and show that data scarcity and/or redundant model parametrization might deteriorate the quality of some parameter estimates. The issue is addressed by reducing the complexity of the model. The resulting formulations are framed within a multi-model context where the performance of each (re-calibrated) candidate model is assessed (in a relative sense) through the Kashyap identification criterion. The results suggest that an optimal trade-off in terms of model complexity (i.e.\, level of parametrization) given data availability can be assessed to satisfactorily interpret the system dynamics. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSe sei interessato a presentare durante uno di questi eventi\, invia una e-mail a chiara.recalcati@polimi.it .

SUMMARY:How can structural engineers contribute to sustainability?
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 6 Ottobre si svolgerà presso l’aula Beltrami (Edificio 5)\, un seminario dal titolo “How can structural engineers contribute to sustainability?” tenuto dal Prof. Gabriel Sas\, Professore di Ingegneria Strutturale nella divisione di Ingegneria Strutturale e Antincendio presso l’University of Technology di Luleå\, Svezia.  \nAbstract:  \nToday the world builds at an unprecedented pace. Construction industry is responsible for about 40 per cent of the world’s carbon footprint. For a sustainable development we need to keep the 1.5-degree target\, and we must reduce this number drastically by 2030. The challenge is how we find the balance between the safety of the structures and the financial and environmental costs of building and maintaining them. We need new methods to predict the life span of existing structures\, solutions to extend their life and how can we quantify the impact of different decisions on the life length of a structure. Gabriel Sas\, Professor of Structural Engineering at Luleå University of Technology\, will discuss how structural engineers can contribute to promoting sustainability through sustainable-conscious structural assessment.   \nSpeaker’s Biosketch:  \nGabriel Sas\, born 1981\, is Chaired Professor of Structural Engineering in the division of Structural and Fire Engineering at Luleå University of Technology\, Sweden. He obtained his PhD at the same university in 2011 and became Docent in 2017. \nBefore taking his current position in 2020\, Gabriel’s work focused on large structures such as concrete bridges and dams with the aim to increasing their life length. Gabriel has been involved during his career in four full scale tests of bridges and he has developed methods for monitoring bridges and concrete dams using digital image correlation and methods to strengthen bridges using FRPs.\nHis research is primarily concerned with promoting sustainability by prolonging the life of existing bridges. When solving complex problems such as determining the capacity of an existing bridge\, he favors multidisciplinary approaches in which the strengths of one method compensate for the weaknesses of another. This requires the seamless and resource-effective intertwining of diverse methods including numerical analysis\, monitoring\, condition assessment\, structural testing\, and reliability analysis such that one always applies the right tool or method at the right step.\nHis other research interests include the behavior of novel materials and structures made from next generation engineered materials such as UHPC\, structures made from materials recycled from demolitions\, and the structural safety of structures exposed to elevated temperatures.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Assessment of hydraulic roughness due to arboreal vegetation
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 25 Ottobre nell’aula 3.1.4\, dalle 18:15 alle 19:15 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Verónica Herrera Gómez condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Assessment of hydraulic roughness due to arboreal vegetation”.  \nAbstract: \nAlthough vegetation is essential for a healthy ecosystem\, its uncontrolled expansion can eventually lead to critical issues for river management. When rivers overflow\, the floodplain vegetation reduces the flow area\, increasing hydraulic roughness\, water levels\, and flood risk.\nIn this talk\, flow resistance due to arboreal vegetation will be discussed from an experimental study and a field application by using a two-dimensional model. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSe sei interessato a presentare durante uno di questi eventi\, invia una e-mail a chiara.recalcati@polimi.it .
