Detecting barely visible impact damage detection on aircraft composites structures (2009)
Polimeno, Umberto, Meo, Michele
Composites have many advantages as aircraft structural materials and for this reason their use is becoming increasingly widespread. Fragility of composite material to impact loading limits their...
A meshfree penalty-based approach to delamination in composites (2009)
Barbieri, Ettore, Meo, Michele
Cohesive models have been successfully employed to simulate delamination in composites, since they can provide accurate description of both onset and propagation. The key parameter of a cohesive...
Evaluation of the integral terms in reproducing kernel methods (2009)
Barbieri, Ettore, Meo, Michele
Reproducing kernel method (RKM) has its origins in wavelets and it is based on convolution theory. Being their continuous version, RKM is often referred as the general framework for meshless methods....
