Thinking Smart City with a focus on emerging identity elements

Volpi, V., A. Opromolla, R. Grimaldi, V. De Cecio, M. Palatucci, C. M. Medaglia - In this paper we agree that the identity of a city is continuously redefined by emergent properties expressed through environmental transformation. So we identify and emphasize some elements that may help designers to appropriately consider the continuously changing state of a city.

Towards the Definition of a Dynamic and Systemic Assessment for Cybersecurity Risks

Armenia S, Ferreira Franco E, Nonino F, Spagnoli E, Medaglia C M - Nowadays, our society is increasingly becoming economically and socially dependent on the cyberspace. However, the cyberspace is exposed to numerous risks, and there is a constant threat of exploitable vulnerabilities, which could cause significant reputational and economic damages.

NONLINEAR COMPRESSIVE FAILURE ANALYSIS OF BIAXIALLY LOADED FIBER REINFORCED MATERIALS

Fabrizio Greco, Andrea Pranno, Medaglia Carlo Maria, Lorenzo Leonetti, Rosa Penna - The compressive failure behavior of defected periodic fiber-reinforced composites subjected to macroscopic biaxial loadings is here analyzed from both the theoretical and numerical point of view. The coupled effects of local fiber buckling and matrix or fiber/matrix interface microcracks under unilateral self-contact are included in the analysis by adopting an original full finite deformation approach.

Local stress in periodic composites via the Riesz summability method

Caporale A, Luciano R, Medaglia C, Penna R. - Different summation methods of multidimensional trigonometric Fourier series are adopted for approximating the local strain and stress in elastic periodic composites. In fact, approximating the exact solution of a problem with the original partial sums of Fourier series can produce unwanted effects, such as the Gibbs phenomenon at the jump discontinuities that may occur at the interface between the constituents of the composites.
