WECM'23 - 2nd Workshop on Experimental and Computational Mechanics - Book of Abstracts

This book collects the 47 abstracts of the scientific works presented at the WECM’23 – 2nd Workshop on Experimental and Computational Mechanics, held in Pisa, Italy, from 20 to 22 September 2023. The overall programme included • 4 Keynote Lectures; • 34 Oral Presentations; • 9 Posters. All submitted abstracts were reviewed under the responsibility of the Scientific Committee. WECM’23 was organised in the wake of the WECM’22 – 1st Workshop on Experimental and Computational Mechanics, held in Lublin, Poland, on 1 June 2022. Both events were organised under the ten-year Agreement of Collaboration signed between the University of Pisa and Lublin University of Technology for the years 2019–2029. WECM’23 received the patronage of the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering (DICI) of the University of Pisa, His Magnificence the Rector of Lublin University of Technology (LUT), and the Società Italiana di Scienza delle Costruzioni (SISCo). The event was funded by the University of Pisa (UniPI). Further support was offered by the engineering company AICE Consulting Srl. The aim of WECM’23 was to gather researchers who use computational and/or experimental approaches in both Solid and Fluid Mechanics to foster mutual knowledge and promote collaboration across disciplines. WECM’23 was specially addressed to young researchers – including MSc and PhD students – hoping to make them grow in love for scientific research. The workshop had around 70 registered participants with affiliations in Italy (around 60%) and Poland (around 30%), besides Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates. WECM’23 was also the occasion to hold the Final Meeting of the Italian-Polish project titled "Damage Identification in Advanced Composite Materials with Elastic Couplings" (DIACMEC). The DIACMEC Project was funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) and the PolishNationalAgency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) under the Executive Protocol "Canaletto" for Scientific and Technological Cooperation between Italy and Poland for the years 2022–2023.
