The principle of virtual work: a powerful tool for mathematical invention (part 1)
On May 15, 2024 from 11:00 to 13:00 at the Melis Hall (S1b) of the Santa Chiara Complex will be held the lecture The principle of virtual work: a powerful tool for mathematical invention (part 1) by Francesco dell’Isola (University of L’Aquila).
Abstract:
The
principle of virtual work provides the necessary framework for development of
theories that can lead to novel metamaterials, as it was the unifying principle
which allowed the French-Italian School, headed by D’Alembert, Lagrange and
Gabrio Piola, to found modern continuum mechanics. Based upon this framework we
have conceived a metamaterial synthesis schema that exploits micro-macro
identification traceable to the early days of the formulation of continuum
theories for deformable solids.
