Open AccessA continuous model for the simulation of manufacturing swarm robotics
Manufacturing large and/or complex structural components is today non-trivial and far-too expensive, due to limitations in the state-of-the-art production processes. Swarm robotics could then bring a different...

Open AccessA coupled multiphase Lagrangian-Eulerian fluid-dynamics framework for numerical simulation of Laser Metal Deposition process
We present a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) framework for the numerical simulation of the Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) process in 3D printing. Such a framework, comprehensive of both numerical formulations...

Open AccessMixed variational formulations for structural topology optimization based on the phase-field approach
We propose a variational principle combining a phase-field functional for structural topology optimization with a mixed (three-field) Hu–Washizu functional, then including directly in the formulation equilibri...

Open AccessDiffusion–reaction compartmental models formulated in a continuum mechanics framework: application to COVID-19, mathematical analysis, and numerical study
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has led to a surge in interest in the research of the mathematical modeling of epidemics. Many of the introduced models are so-called compartmental models, in which the total quan...

Open AccessPlanar Timoshenko-like model for multilayer non-prismatic beams
This paper aims at proposing a Timoshenko-like model for planar multilayer (i.e., non-homogeneous) non-prismatic beams. The main peculiarity of multilayer non-prismatic beams is a non-trivial stress distributi...
