TL;DR: In this article, the buckling behavior of corrugated paper packages was studied by means of an experimental and theoretical analysis, and a local geometry FEM model, able to reproduce with a very good accuracy buckling loads obtained experimentally in the standard edge compression test, was developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new acoustic emission (AE) diagnostic technique, for the study of fatigue cracks nucleation and propagation on steel, was investigated using the fractal analysis, and the box-counting method (BCM) in particular.

TL;DR: In this article, a general computer-aided model of a 3D revolute joint with clearance suitable for implementation in multibody dynamic solvers is presented, which has been applied in dynamic simulations of a spatial slider-crank mechanism.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of approximate evaluation of the frequencies of orthotropic plates is investigated, starting from a general approximate formula for the frequency, proposed by Hearmon, it is shown how to calculate the fundamental mode of an orthotropic rectangular plate with different restraint conditions using the proper coefficient values already available in the scientific literature.

TL;DR: In 2014, the activities carried out by the magnet system project team were focused on the toroidal field (TF) magnet system design and demonstrated major achievements in terms of concept proposals and of consolidated evaluations against design criteria.
