SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Numerical Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems Involving Lightweight Structures
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 20 Maggio 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 Daniele Di Cristofaro condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Numerical Methods for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems Involving Lightweight Structures”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nProper modelling of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) phenomena involving lightweight\, deformable structures is essential for understanding the complex dynamics in various engineering applications. In this context\, the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) Navier-Stokes equations are widely used to track the fluid-structure interface properly. However\, mesh distortion remains a significant challenge\, particularly when large deformations occur. This distortion can result in poor resolution of the fluid-structure interface\, which negatively impacts the accuracy of aerodynamic force predictions and structural responses. This research introduces a novel mesh manipulation algorithm designed to reduce mesh distortion\, thereby enhancing the accuracy of FSI simulations. The method is validated through several benchmark cases and applied to real-world problems\, including dragonfly flight\, sail deformation and hydrofoil\, demonstrating its robustness and effectiveness. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\n\nDaniele holds an MSc in Mathematical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2022. He is currently a PhD candidate in Structural\, Seismic\, and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. His research focuses on advanced Fluid-Structure Interaction methods and multiphase techniques within the Finite Element framework. In particular\, he is developing novel algorithms to address Finite Element mesh distortion and submerged lightweight structures.  \nIn his free time\, Daniele enjoys reading\, swimming\, and travelling around the world.

SUMMARY:Harnessing the Dynamics of Reconfigurable Metastructures –  Embodying Programmability and Mechano-Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 23 Maggio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 15:00 dal titolo “Harnessing the Dynamics of Reconfigurable Metastructures – Embodying Programmability and Mechano-Intelligence”. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Kon-Well Wang\, A. Galip Ulsoy Distinguished University Professor of Engineering and Stephen P. Timoshenko Professor of Mechanical Engineering University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, USA. \nSarà anche possibile seguire il seminario da remoto tramite il seguente link: https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/alberto.corigliano \nAbstract \nIn recent years\, the concept of reconfigurable matter developed based on nature-inspired modular architectures has been explored to create advanced engineering systems. For example\, inspired by the observation that some of skeletal muscle’s intriguing macroscale functionalities result from the assembly of nanoscale cross-bridge constituents with metastability\, the idea of synthesizing metastructures from the integration of mechanical metastable modules has been pursued. In another example\, inspired by the physics behind the plant nastic movements and the rich designs of origami folding\, a class of metastructures is created building on the innovation of fluidic-origami modular elements. Overall\, the modules are designed to be reconfigurable in their shape\, mechanical properties\, and stability features\, so to produce synergistic and intriguing dynamic functionalities at the system level\, such as programmable phononic bandgap control and nontraditional wave steering.  More recently\, with the rapid advances in high-performance intelligent systems\, we are witnessing a prominent demand for the next generation of mechanical matter to have much more built-in intelligence and autonomy. An emerging direction is to pioneer and harness the metastructures’ high dimensionality\, multiple stability\, and nonlinearity for mechano-intelligence via physical computing.  That is\, we aim to embody computing power and functional intelligence\, such as perception\, learning\, memorizing\, decision-making and execution\, concurrently and directly in the mechanical domain\, advancing from conventional systems that solely rely on add-on digital computer to achieve intelligence. This presentation will highlight some of these advancements in harnessing reconfigurable matter for structural dynamics tailoring\, from adaptive wave and vibration controls to self-learning-self-tuning intelligence. \nSpeaker’s bio \nDr. Kon-Well Wang is the A.

SUMMARY:Nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression of conceptual airfoil models under random loads
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 28 Maggio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:00 dal titolo “Nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression of conceptual airfoil models under random loads“. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Yong Xu\, Northwestern Polytechnical University\, Xi’an (China). \nAbstract \nAn aircraft in practice undergoes complex uncertain loads like turbulence\, crosswind\, pressure fluctuations\, etc.\, that will have a substantial impact on its flight safety. It is of extreme significance to explore the complex nonlinear dynamics and vibration control for a conceptual airfoil model with random loads. The coupling interaction between structure nonlinearities and stochasticities can lead to some difficulties on the airfoil models\, including the modelling\, response solving\, and vibration suppression. This talk will review our developments towards nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression\, especially for the stochastic dynamics\, early warning\, and data-driven problems\, of the conceptual two-dimensional airfoil models. All the findings would be helpful in ensuring the flight safety and enhancing the strength and reliability of airfoil structure operating at complex flight conditions. Besides\, several potential directions that are worth further exploring are also highlighted. This is a joint work with Dr. Qi Liu (Institute of Science Tokyo\, Japan)\, Prof. Yongge Li (Northwestern Polytechnical University\, China)\, Dr. Jinzhong Ma (Shanxi University\, China)\, Xiaolong Wang (Shaanxi Normal University\, China)\, Dr. Weili Guo (Northwestern Polytechnical University\, China)\, Prof. Jürgen Kurths (Humboldt University and PIK\, Germany)\, Prof. Hiroya Nakao (Institute of Science Tokyo\, Japan)\, and Prof. Stefano Lenci (Polytechnic University of Marche\, Italy).

SUMMARY:Unlocking Mechanical Instabilities for Intelligent Material Design
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 29 Maggio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 15:00 dal titolo “Unlocking Mechanical Instabilities for Intelligent Material Design”. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto da Eleonora Tubaldi\, Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland\, College Park. \nSarà anche possibile seguire il seminario da remoto tramite il seguente link: https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/alberto.corigliano \nAbstract \nBiological systems exhibit remarkable capabilities for rapid actuation and energy-efficient motion\, often leveraging mechanical instabilities such as buckling and snapping. These phenomena allow organisms to perform swift and powerful movements with minimal energy consumption. Examples include trap-jaw ants with mandibles that can snap with incredible speed and force\, as well as bacterial flagella which revert their swimming direction thanks to flagellar buckling. Inspired by these evolutionary adaptations\, sophisticated tasks such as delicate object manipulation\, augmented sensing capabilities\, and dynamic shape transformations can be obtained by designing reconfigurable structures with controlled buckling or snapping instabilities. In this talk\, we will first present two novel instability-based metamaterials to (i) control transition wavefronts thanks to geometric frustration\, and to (ii) preprogram reversible sudden reconfigurations with a single pressure input\, respectively. Finally\, rapid actuation and sensing capabilities will be demonstrated in “pac-man” grippers leveraging buckling instability of free thin-shell domes. Both theoretical\, numerical\, and experimental approaches will be discussed. Applications spanning from fast sequential actuation\, flow control\, wave manipulation\, and tactile sensing will be showcased. \nSpeaker’s bio \nDr. Tubaldi is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland\, College Park. She received her Ph.D. degree at McGill University in Mechanical Engineering. Her research interests sit at the interface of nonlinear dynamics\, fluid-structure interaction\, and soft materials for applications in mechanical metamaterials\, soft robotics\, and reconfigurable structures. Recently\, she has been awarded the 2024 ASME Henry Hess Early Career Publication Award\, 2023 NSF CAREER Award\, and the 2020 Haythornthwaite Young Investigator Award from the ASME Applied Mechanics Division.
