DESCRIPTION:Prof. Chiara Bisagni\, Department of Aerospace Engineering of 
 Politecnico de Milano\nThe seminar will present an overview of the researc
 h activities performed in the last years on composite structures.\nIn the 
 first part\, the research on buckling and post-buckling behavior of compos
 ite structures will be summarized. This research was conducted in four EU 
 funded projects in the past 12 years\, covering analytical\, numerical and
  experimental aspects. The recent results obtained during the COCOMAT proj
 ect and the ongoing MAAXIMUS project will be presented. They indicate the 
 possibility to allow composite panels to work in the post-buckling field d
 uring the operative life\, moving up the design ultimate load near the col
 lapse load in the next aircraft generation.\nIn the second part\, damage t
 olerance studies will be presented. In particular\, the investigation perf
 ormed on single stringer composite specimens\, undergoing in collaboration
  with NASA Langley\, will be shown\, as well as the research on biaxial cy
 clic loading on impacted specimens performed at MIT.\nAt the end\, a short
  overview will be given on crash of aerospace and automotive composite str
 uctures\, in part conducted in collaboration with Ferrari Formula One.
