Webinar | Modellare i materiali compositi con la simulazione

Progettare nello stesso momento materiali e strutture, per massimizzare le caratteristiche meccaniche del prodotto: è così che si può davvero trarre vantaggio dai materiali ingegnerizzati. Un software di simulazione è un alleato prezioso per il progettista di laminati in composito: consente di prevedere le prestazioni dei materiali, individuare le soluzioni progettuali più efficaci e analizzare tutte le interazioni tra fenomeni fisici, prima ancora della prototipazione.

Sustainable and thermal insulating composite materials: cements containing recycled textile microfibres

Every year a large amount of textile waste is generated by the fashion sector. Recently this phenomenon has rapidly worsened due to the spread of the “fast fashion” concept, based on a linear economic model and mass consumption. The desire to reduce process environmental impact and the objective to create new business with waste products pushed a consortium’s companies to start a research project in collaboration with the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari. Read the project, it won our first call for papers.
