In this work is has been shown the applicability of a procedure to drastically reduce the stress concentration in notches with non circular shapes; the basic idea is to make use of functionally graded materials whose elastic modulus distribution is defined according to a simple optimisation procedure. The presented numerical […]

The Special Issue is aimed at investigating metallic material modeling techniques for multiphysics virtual prototypes, with an emphasis on both the theoretical aspects and experimental identification and verification. The selected papers cover a wide rage of topics spanning from additive manufacturing, to metal forming, continuous casting, thermal treatment of metals […]
Cellular materials consist of intricate engineered structures spanning multiple lengthscales, offering precise control over their properties. However, the presence of stress/strain risers can hinder their integrity, particularly in fatigue performance. The crucial question is then: to what extent do these features influence fatigue? The difficulty in conducting representative experimental tests has […]
The scarcity of fatigue data makes the employment of machine learning for predictive purposes extremely challenging. On top of that, the more material characteristics and manufacturing process conditions you consider at the same time, the less these predictions appear to be robust. Following our last year’s original work adopting a […]
