Lime-based textile-reinforced mortars (TRM) have recently found a growing interest for repair and strengthening of masonry and historical structures. Despite extensive experimental and numerical investigations performed in the last years on the perfo... Read More about Textile-to-mortar bond behaviour in lime-based textile reinforced mortars.

Phase-Field Material Point Method for dynamic brittle fracture with isotropic and anisotropic surface energy (2019)
Journal Article
Kakouris, E. G., & Triantafyllou, S. P. (2019). Phase-Field Material Point Method for dynamic brittle fracture with isotropic and anisotropic surface energy. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 357, Article 112503. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2019.06.014

A novel phase field material point method is introduced for robust simulation of dynamic fracture in elastic media considering the most general case of anisotropic surface energy. Anisotropy is explicitly introduced through a properly defined crack d...

Challenges of Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) in Aircraft Design and Manufacturing (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martin De La Escalera, F., Essa, Y., Castello, M. Á., Pillai, U., Chiminelli, A., Lizaranzu, M., & Maimi, P. (2018, June). Challenges of Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) in Aircraft Design and Manufacturing. Paper presented at ECCM18 - 18th European Conference on Composite Materials, Athens, Greece

The purpose of this paper is to describe barriers and efforts made in the design of an aircraft in terms of reducing pollution emission into the atmosphere throughout the structural optimization of the aircraft's airfoils. In particular, the present... Read More about Challenges of Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) in Aircraft Design and Manufacturing.
