We continue our seminars serie, on Tuesday, June 30th, 12:00 H.
On site: Salón de Grados
For this event in the Aerospace PhD Seminar Series, we will have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Vittorio Memmolo, Assistant Professor at University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy.
The event will take place in the Salón de Grados on Tuesday, June 30th, at 12:00 H and it will be streamed online.
Dr. Vittorio Memmmolo is Assistant Professor of Aerospace Structures with the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Naples “Federico II”, where he teaches advanced design of structures and elastodynamics. His main research interests deal with innovative airframe design, composite structures, and structural health monitoring. So far, he has been visiting scholar at Fraunhofer, DLR, BAM and Goethe University of Frankfurt, where he conducted research activities related to SHM. He participated in 21 different research projects and his research findings are disseminated in almost 100 peer-reviewed papers, including journals, conference proceedings and book chapters.
“Structural Health Monitoring of aerospace structures: key challenges for certification in aviation”
Abstract:
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is recognized in aviation as a key enabling technology to move from scheduled to predictive maintenance. Either as an AMoC to non-destructive testing or as the input to condition based maintenance, it can strongly reduce operation efforts and downtime due to AoG. In addition, SHM has great potentiality as a design enabler, revolutionizing damage tolerance philosophy. However, all these options require qualification of SHM techniques according to the current regulatory framework, which does not provide for any credits yet. Within this challenging context, this seminar will start introducing the general concept and objectives of SHM in aviation. Then, a number of methods based on guided wave propagation in composite media will be presented to showcase the potentiality of structural dynamics for SHM when a number of permanently installed sensors is exploited. Afterwards the possible qualification framework will be introduced giving a final accent to the reliability assessment of such a system to close the gap between recent breakthrough and industrial deployment.
The seminar will begin at 12:00 pm and will take place in the Salón de Grados.
No previous registration will be required.
