科研

Different specific topics have been considered, always giving them a personal and original contribution. In some cases such a contribution resulted to be also innovative, anticipating even by years the trends in cutting-edge research. Among these peculiar aspects, it is significant to recall the following ones.

(1) Application of Dimensional Analysis (Buckingham’s Theorem for physical similitude and scale modelling) to the scaling competition between plastic collapse and brittle fracture, which are failure mechanisms governed by generalized forces with different physical dimensions. Definition of the dimensionless Brittleness Number

(2) Interpretation of brittle crack propagation, of stick-slip friction instability, and of buckling instability in thin shells in the framework of Catastrophe Theory by René Thom

(3) Application of Fractional Calculus to field and boundary equations of an elastic body deformable only over a fractal sub-set

(4) Solution to the problem of propagation stability of cracks bridged by reinforcements and/or fibres based on rigorous conditions of static equilibrium and kinematic compatibility

(5) More recent papers deal with fundamental aspects, like the size effects on the friction coefficient and the criticality of rock slopes, the nonlinear and chaotic dynamic behaviour of cracked or damaged bodies, the fatigue limit and threshold with their related scaling laws, the energy emissions from fracture phenomena and earthquakes

(6) Dynamics and stability of elastic structures: from mega-structures (long-span bridges and high-rise buildings) to nano-structures (proteins and macromolecular structures)
