Abstract
The aim of this proposal is to support the visit of Dr. Gianni Royer-Carfagni to the Department of Structural Engineering at the São Carlos School of Engineering, USP. Dr. Gianni is a Full Professor of Structural Mechanics in the Department of Engineering at the University of Parma, Italy, and research associate in the Construction Technologies Institute of the Italian National Research Council (ITC-CNR), Milan, Italy. Prof. Royer-Carfagni has no teaching commitments in Italy for the intended period of October 1st, 2016 thru January 31st, 2017. A visit by Prof. Gianni Royer-Carfagni is particularly welcome because there are strict common scientific interests with Prof. Aguiar, mainly due to their long-lasting collaboration with their common advisor, Prof. Roger Fosdick from the University of Minnesota, USA. Prof. Royer-Carfagni is an expert in nonlinear elasticity, fracture mechanics, structures and mechanics of brittle materials, including structural glass. He has a long-term collaboration as a consultant with AGP Brazil (http://www.agpglass.comwww.agpglass.com/po/group/facilities/brasil), which is located in Curitiba and is the most important subsidiary of a multinational industry involved in innovative automotive glazing such as the cold lamination bending of very thin glass plies for ultra-light car windows. In addition to research, Prof. Royer-Carfagni will be teaching an advanced graduate course in structural glass, a material that is acquiring an ever-increasing importance in both civil engineering works and automotive/aerospace applications.
