DOI: 10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2019.102505
Abstract: The interest of functionally graded adhesives (FGA) is growing as it is a mean to increase a bonded joint strength without any modification of the initial design of the adherends. The behaviour of bonded joints… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbuil.2017.00039
Abstract: An accurate evaluation of the nonlinear behaviour of masonry structural elements in existing buildings still represents a complex issue that rigorously requires nonlinear finite element strategies difficult to apply to real large structures. Nevertheless, for… read more here.
