Mul2 Research Group

Multilayered structures (MLSs) are being extensively adopted in an increasing number of engineering fields, including aerospace, automotive and civil engineering. MLSs are, in fact, greatly advantageous because of their low weight and high strength. MLSs can be of different types, such as fiber-reinforced composites or sandwiches with foam cores. The classical structural analysis tools are often not enough to predict the structural behavior of MLSs The MUL2 project is devoted to the development of advanced structural models for MULSs with particular attention given to the multifield analysis and the fluid-structure interactions.
