SpeakerProfessor Fabrizio Scarpa, Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation & Science University of Bristol, UK
AbatractMechanical metamaterials are multiscale architected materials systems that exhibit combinations of unusual mechanical properties. In this talk we will describe some examples of mechanical metamaterials architectures, and how shape and topology at multiscale affect the equivalent mechanical performance at macroscopic (equivalent continuum) level. Examples of applications for these mechanical metamaterials range from energy absorption, vibration damping, wave and vibration control, to tailored bending/axial stiffness for shape morphing structures.
SpeakerFabrizio Scarpa is Professor of Smart Materials and Structures at the Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science (ACCIS), at the moment considered the largest academic composites group in the world. Professor Scarpa works in the field of composite and nanocomposite materials, auxetics (negative Poisson's ratioa), smart and natural fibre materials and synthetic biology. He collaborates with major blue chip companies like Rolls-Royce plc, GKN Aerospace, Safran and Airbus, and he is involved in several UK and EU projects with small medium enterprises, R&D and academic centres for applications of these materials in airframe design, vibroacoustics, shape morphing and structural integrity. Professor Scarpa is one of the High End Foreign Experts of the Government in the area of composite materials. He has autored more than 300 journal and conference papers, and he is also Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
