On the dynamical behaviour of plates in unilateral contact with an elastic foundation: a finite element approach.
In questo lavoro viene studiato il comportamento dinamico di una piastra vincolata monolateralmente su una fondazione elastica alla Winkler. Si presentano alcuni risultati numerici ottenuti mediante discretizzazione agli elementi finiti. Tali risultati mettono in luce l'influenza di alcuni fattori tipici come le funzioni di forma, il parametro di mesh e l'ampiezza dell'intervallo con cui si realizza l'integrazione nel tempo delle equazioni del moto. Si istituiscono infine dei confronti con risultati...

On the existence of a weak solution of the boundary value problem for the equilibrium of a shallow shell reinforced with stiffening ribs
The existence and the unicity of a weak solution of the boundary value problem for a shallow shell reinforced with stiffening ribs is proved by the direct variational method. The boundary value problem is solved in the space , on which the corresponding bilinear form is coercive. A finite element method for numerical solution is introduced. The approximate solutions converge to a weak solution in the space .

On the mechanical behaviour of laminated curved beams: a simple model which takes into account the warping effects
A mechanical one-dimensional model which describes the dynamical behaviour of laminated curved beams is formulated. It is assumed that each lamina can be regarded as a Timoshenko's beam and that the rotations of the cross sections can differ from one lamina to another. The relative displacements at the interfaces of adjacent laminae are assumed to be zero. Consequently the model includes a shear deformability, due to the warping of the cross beam section consequent to the variability of the laminae...
On the membrane approximation for thin elastic shells in the hyperbolic case.
We consider the variational formulation of the problem of elastic shells in the membrane approximation, when the medium surface is hyperbolic. It appears that the corresponding bilinear form behaves as some kind of two-dimensional elasticity without shear rigidity. This amounts to saying that the membrane behaves rather as a net made of elastic strings disposed along the asymptotic curves of the surface than as an elastic two-dimensional medium. The mathematical and physical reasons of this behavior...
On the minimum of the work of interaction forces between a pseudoplate and a rigid obstacle
An optimization problem for the unilateral contact between a pseudoplate and a rigid obstacle is considered. The variable thickness of the pseudoplate plays the role of a control variable. The cost functional is a regular functional only in the smooth case. The existence of an optimal thickness is verified. The penalized optimal control problem is considered in the general case.
On the nonlifiear theory of beams with open thin sections
Analysis of beam with thin open sections as cylindrical shells evidences restrictions of the Wagner-Vlasof theory: these mainly concern the fulfillment of end conditions. For the case of large deflections, the resultant equations from asymptotic analysis are presented. Their application to buckling under pure flexure shows various novel aspects. By a simple direct approach, investigation is pursued beyond the critical state: the buckled configuration turns out to be stable even for laxer constraints...
On the nonlinear behaviour of bimodular multilayer ed plates.
In an earlier study [16] the nonlinear behaviour of unimodular laminated plates was studied. This paper, following the previous study, concerns a large deflection analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates having arbitrary boundary conditions and finite thickness shear moduli. The plates are manufactured in bimodular materials and constructed in a cross-ply fashion or in a single layer with arbitrary fibre direction angle. Numerical results are obtained by a finite element technique in which...

On the numerical modeling of deformations of pressurized martensitic thin films
We propose, analyze, and compare several numerical methods for the computation of the deformation of a pressurized martensitic thin film. Numerical results have been obtained for the hysteresis of the deformation as the film transforms reversibly from austenite to martensite.
