Last summer was busy for SIAMS - Structural Integrity Of Advanced Materials And Structures laboratory ↗, sharing the results of the AM3aC2A project funded by ASI, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, in collaboration with Centro Italiano di Ricerche Aerospaziali, CNR-ISSMC and Petroceramics.

This project focuses on the damage tolerant design of Ceramic Matrix Composites, high-novely materials for ultra-high temperature.

A. Airoldi ↗ and A.M. Caporale ↗ presented two works at HT-CMC 11 in Jeju, Korea, entitled “A Meso-Scale Model for Damage, Failure and Delamination of Liquid Silicon Infiltrated C/SiC Laminates” and “Characterization and Numerical Interpretation of Non-Linear Tensile Response in UHTCMC”, respectively.

A. Airoldi presented "A meso-scale model of progressive model of progressive famage failure in LSI-produced ceramic matrix composites for aerospace applications" at AIDAA XVII, in Padova, Italy.

E. Novembre ↗ presented “Implementation of a damage model for tension and bending of Ceramic Matrix Composites with statistical distribution of properties” at ECERS XVIII in Lyon, France.

M. Riva ↗ presented “Numerical and Experimental Methods for the Identification of Interlaminar Properties in LSI Manufactured C/SiC Composite” at ECCOMAS Composite 2023 in Trapani, Italy.
