The principle of virtual work: a powerful tool for mathematical invention (part 2)
On May 31, 2024 from 11:00 to 13:00 at the Lo Quarter Complex will be held the lecture The principle of virtual work: a powerful tool for mathematical invention (part 2) by Francesco dell’Isola (University of L’Aquila). Introduces Emilio Barchiesi (DADU, University of Sassari).
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.
