The University of Rome “Tor Vergata” guested, December 14th, the workshop titled Digital Twins 4 Aerospace: CAE modelling of future mobility. The event was an occasion for researchers and engineers, from both academia and industry, to present the status of research in numerical analysis and design methodologies in the aerospace field. The topics focused on tools suitable to improve the design process of aircraft, rockets and satellites but it also offered the opportunity to highlighted how other field of engineering can benefit from the availability of numerical tools able to efficiently model the physics involved in complex mechanical systems. The workshop was organized by Marco Evangelos Biancolini and Ubaldo Cella, respectively Professor of Machine Design and researcher at the Enterprise Engineering department “Mario Lucertini”.
Our latest work, on the meshless strain computation from Digital Image correlation (DIC) data characterised by large dispolacements, was published in Materials.
It is many years that the world of sailing has become popular, mainly thanks to the “Amerca’s Cup”, a competition that arouses media interest also because at each edition there are technological innovations that increasingly capture the attention and curiosity of even non-enthusiasts. .
Our phd student Giovanna Gargiulo explains in detail the objectives of EXCELLERAT project. The goal of my research is the DT(Digital Twin) of an OT (Operating Theater): from CFD(Computer Fluid Dynamics)to DT. The design of an OT is a complex task and requires a multidisciplinary approach, that includes techniques from engineering and medical sciences. In this scenario the Digital Twin could be a helpful in design, in control and manutention operations. OT problems are related with environmental control and with the design of an appropriate HVAC(Heating ventilating Air Conditional) system to prevent the riskof infections during surgical operations maintain ing a comfort condition for the patient and the surgical staffinthe same time.
