• Graded-material design based on phase-field and topology optimization 

      Carraturo, Massimo; Rocca, Elisabetta; Bonetti, Elena; Hömberg, Dietmar Josef; Reali, Alessandro; Auricchio, Ferdinando (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In the present work we introduce a novel graded-material design based on phase-field and topology optimization. The main novelty of this work comes from the introduction of an additional phase-field variable in the classical ...
    • Hierarchically refined isogeometric analysis of trimmed shells 

      Coradello, Luca; D’Angella, Davide; Carraturo, Massimo; Kiendl, Josef; Kollmannsberger, Stefan; Rank, Ernst; Reali, Alessandro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This work focuses on the study of several computational challenges arising when trimmed surfaces are directly employed for the isogeometric analysis of Kirchhoff–Love shells. To cope with these issues and to resolve ...
