Seminario di Davide Bigoni: “The strange case of a piecewise smooth elastic structure”
Dipartimento di Ingegneria Enzo Ferrari UNIMORE via Vivarelli 10, Modena 41125 Italia Map ItA new type of flutter instability generated by the "fusion" of two structures which are separately stable, but become unstable when joined together. The analysis of instability involves here the treatment of a discontinuity in the curvature of a constraint, so that the system is piecewise smooth. Announcement
