SUMMARY:Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 10 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A) dalle ore 14:30 dal titolo “Locally resonant metamaterials – towards automated design and mass manufacturing“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dott. Claus Claeys (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nMetamaterials (MMs) have emerged as promising noise and vibration solutions which enable reconciling the often conflicting requirements of low mass and volume and high noise and vibration attenuation. Their superior performance arises from stop bands\, being frequency ranges of strong noise and vibration reduction\, which result from the addition or inclusion of locally resonant structures on or into a host structure on a sub-wavelength scale. Although their potential has been widely evidenced in a variety of (academic) demonstrators the manufacturing of MMs is far from mature while their performance is mostly limited to narrowband noise and vibration reduction. In view of merging the need for mass-manufacturable integrated MM solutions with the opportunity of broadening MM performance by embedding smart inclusions\, the mass- production process injection moulding comes to the fore: a wide range of polymer products is currently already injection moulded\, while the technology is particularly suitable to produce hybrid parts with embedded inclusions in a highly automated fashion through the process of insert moulding. Additionally\, designs are commonly obtained on a trial-and-error basis or with expert knowledge. To automate this design process and obtain high performant metamaterial designs\, optimization routines are important enablers. Topology optimization has shown its potential to achieve designs in many mechanical applications which outperform the state-of-the-art in terms of performance such as stiffness or strength\, but also for noise insulation. Optimized structures are discussed in this presentation\, together with first steps towards accounting for actual manufacturing constraints. \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment in Policy Making for Waste Management: the Case Study of Textile Waste in Lombardy
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 21 gennaio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 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. \nLo speaker Samuele Abagnato condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment in Policy Making for Waste Management: the Case Study of Textile Waste in Lombardy”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nProper planning of waste management systems for textiles is crucial to reduce the environmental impacts of textile sector. To support policy-making in Lombardy region\, first\, a Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of the region’s textile waste streams was conducted\, and municipal textile waste generation data of the Lombardy’s municipalities were analysed. Then\, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is applied to the textile waste management system of Lombardy region to quantify its environmental impacts and assess whether increased circularity leads to reduced impacts. The feasibility of applying LCA to textile waste management was explored in scientific literature\, and the current state of recycling technologies is discussed. LCA was applied to the management of post-consumer textile waste in Lombardy\, and some preliminary results are shown. \nSpeaker’s bio \nSamuele obtained the master’s degree in environmental engineering at the University of Bologna in 2021\, with a thesis about the application of life cycle assessment to carbon capture from flue gas. Then he spent one year as research fellow focusing on flue gas treatments for waste to energy plants. In 2022 he started his phd journey at Politecnico di Milano (38th cycle). His research project\, in collaboration with Regione Lombardia\, is focused on textile waste management in the context of Lombardy region\, with the aim to develop analyses to support policy making and public policies at the regional scale about waste management. \nIn his free time\, he loves playing (and watching) basketball\, he is interested in culture and politics\, and in a lot of other things that we do not have the time to list here.

SUMMARY:JUNK – Armadi pieni\, Episodi 2 e 3 (Ghana-Bangladesh)
DESCRIPTION:Il secondo appuntamento della rubrica Documentari DICA si terrà mercoledì 22 gennaio alle ore 16.30 presso l’Aula Grandori. L’iniziativa è dedicata alla diffusione di documentari di ampio respiro\, con l’obiettivo di favorire il confronto\, l’apprendimento e il dialogo interdisciplinare. \nQuesto incontro\, in programma per mercoledì 22 gennaio alle ore 16.30 presso l’Aula Grandori\, prevede la proiezione degli episodi 2 e 3 (Ghana-Bangladesh) della docuserie JUNK – Armadi pieni. \nJUNK è la docuserie coprodotta da Will Media e Sky Italia per trovare la verità sull’industria della produzione dei vestiti\, raccontata attraverso le storie e le immagini delle persone ed ecosistemi che subiscono direttamente l’impatto negativo del fast-fashion. Dal Ghana al Cile\, Indonesia\, Bangladesh\, India e Italia\, ogni puntata è dedicata ad un paese e tema diverso – un progetto nato per generare consapevolezza ma soprattutto per restituire a tutti la certezza che il cambiamento è ancora possibile e tutti abbiamo un ruolo da giocarci. \nParteciperanno all’incontro:\nAngelica Lato (production manager di JUNK)\,\nGiovanni Maria Conti (docente presso il Dipartimento di Design)\nSamuele Abagnato (dottorando presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale) \nLa partecipazione all’evento è gratuita\, ma è richiesta la registrazione al seguente link: https://www.eventi.polimi.it/events/junk-armadi-pieni-episodi-2-e-3-ghana-bangladesh/

SUMMARY:The Impact of Extreme Floods on Infrastucture: Is it just water?
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 23 Gennaio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:30 dal titolo “The Impact of Extreme Floods on Infrastucture: Is it just water?“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Dr. Davide Wüthrich\, Assistant Professor\, Delft University of Technology\, the Netherlands. \nInoltre il seminario potrà essere seguito tramite Webex al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nAll recent studies consistently predict a future characterised by more frequent and extreme natural hazards. The catastrophic floods of summer 2021 in Belgium\, Germany\, and the Netherlands clearly demonstrated the devastating consequences of such events\, underscoring the urgent need for effective measures to ensure safety\, mitigate damage and reduce reconstruction costs. This seminar begins with first-hand observations collected during field surveys of recent extreme events\, emphasizing their complex multiphase nature\, including large volumes of floating debris. Recognizing that these phenomena remain poorly understood\, the seminar will then explore ongoing research on the accumulation of large floating debris at bridges and other critical water conveyance structures. This shows the need to combine innovative research\, high-quality education and interdisciplinary collaboration to meet the challenges that current and future infrastructure are facing. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nDavide Wüthrich is a civil engineer specialized in hydraulic structures\, currently Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology\, Netherlands\, and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Queensland\, Australia. He earned his Bachelor degree at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) followed by a Master and PhD at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL\, Switzerland)\, focusing on the impact of extreme events on structures. Building upon previous experience as Post-Doc in Japan and Australia\, his current research at TU Delft focuses on the impact of extreme events on infrastructure\, including post-flood forensic surveys\, laboratory experiments\, and prototype measurements.
