Workshop “Digital Twins For Aerospace”, Rome December 14, 2022

The University of Rome “Tor Vergata” will guest the workshop titled “Digital Twins For Aerospace“. The event is organized by Marco Evangelos Biancolini and Ubaldo Cella, respectively professor of Machine Design and researcher at the Enterprise Engineering department “Mario Lucertini”. Professors and engineers, active in EU research programs, from academic, industry and research institutions, will provide an overview the state of research on numerical tools and methodologies.

Digital Twins are virtual representations of physical objects used to predict how the final product will operatively perform in its lifecycle. The improvement of such numerical models is, in the aerospace field, decisive to design more and more efficient and greener aircrafts and rockets. The workshop focuses on the state of the art of digital twins to face aerospace design problems but also highlighting how other field of engineering benefits from the availability of methodologies able to efficiently model the physics involved in mechanical systems.

The workshop is addressed to students and engineers who want to be updated on aerospace technologies. The participation is free. People interested can attend the workshop at this link. For information contact Dr. Ubaldo Cella.

Flexible Engineering – Call for contributions

Dear colleague,

December 14, 2017 the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” guested the workshop titled “Flexible Engineering Toward Green Aircraft“. The event focused on fluidstructure interaction numerical methodologies, robust optimization and aeroelastic experimental testing. The invited speakers provided the opportunity to highlight the state of the art on technologies related to the design of flexible structures in aerospace engineering with a focus on active researches in Europe. The possibility to follow the presentations online and the support of the EU commission, who gave visibility to the seminar through the channels of the Clean Sky programme media infrastructure, gave an international relevance to the event.

Following the success of the seminar, Springer International Publishing AG agreed to publish a book entitled “Flexible Engineering Toward Green Aircraft: CAE Tools for Sustainable Mobility” reporting a list of selected contributions to the topics the
workshop was focused on. The book will be indexed in all major citation databases (Scopus, WoS, etc). The selection of researches will be not restricted to participants to the workshop but is open to researchers proposing interesting, relevant and original works that are related to these subjects.

Your contribution will be highly appreciated.

These are some important dates for the submission:

• submission of abstracts by authors (around 200 words): June 29^th, 2018.
• submission of final papers: September 21^st, 2018.

Register and submit an abstract in the Springer system.

Templates for full papers are available for download from following links:

Workshop “Flexible Engineering “, Rome December 14, 2017

The University of Rome “Tor Vergata” will guest the workshop titled “Flexible Engineering Toward Green Aircraft“. The event is organized by Marco Evangelos Biancolini and Ubaldo Cella, respectively professor of Machine Design and researcher at the Enterprise Engineering department “Mario Lucertini”. The workshop comes as conclusion of two EU funded research projects in which the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” was involved: RBF4AERO and RIBES. The aim is to present the status of research in the aerospace field and to highlight the recent achievements in analysis and design methodologies adopted in the aircraft design process. Professors and engineers active in EU research programs, from several academic, industry and research institutions, will provide an overview on topics as Aeroelasticity, Aerodynamic Robust Design and Shape Optimization.

Particular attention is addressed to fluid-structure numerical methodologies to face static and dynamic aeroelastic problems. In aerospace engineering, in fact, the flexibility of structures plays a crucial role in several aspects of design processes. The capability to evaluate the interaction between aerodynamic, inertia and elastic forces is important to avoid drag penalties, control system efficiency loss and generation of potentially dangerous phenomena as divergence, control reversal and flutter. A significant part of the agenda is dedicated to the progress of “high fidelity” CFD-CSM coupling and to the description of the recent experimental activities performed to support the validation of numerical Fluid-Structure Interaction analysis methodologies.

The workshop is addressed to students and engineers who want to be updated on the state of the art in aerospace technologies. The participation is free but people interested in attending the event are kindly asked to register or to contact professor Biancolini.
