This is really good news for italian and world engineering!
Davide is certainly a top professor in the world. Unfortunately there are low class professors both in Italy, and even in MIT. Davide is extremely brilliant despite the difficult conditions sometimes we suffer in Italy, and the incomparably lower amount of funding that we generallz dispose, with respect to, say, MIT.
It is by no surprise that from Davide school the new generation of Harvard and MIT professors are coming... eg
Katia Bertoldi | Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Scienceswww.seas.harvard.edu/directory/bertoldi
can we know a little about the program of grant?
You say
Instabilities and nonlocal multiscale modelling of materials
Is it also friction? I am working for example on the slow fronts of friction that Fineberg published in Nature a few times since 2004. Could that be of interest? It is nonlocal in the sense of asperity modelling and multiscale too.
Modeling in FEA software
How to model Bimodulus Material in ANSYS or any Finite Element Analysis software to find out Neutral axis shift in simple bend test.
Kindly requested for any suggestion.

Friction
Dear Michele,
Thanks for the compliments.Yes, friction definitely IS a topic in my erc.
Best!
Davide
Bending test
Dear Awani,
Please, address your question to my former PhD student (now postdoc at Yale) Sara Roccabianca: sara.roccabianca@yale.edu
She will help you.
Best wishes,
Davide
Thank you sir
Thank you sir
Davide, give me some hints --- friction is such a large topic...
For example, I am working on friction models...See these results by Bouchbinder and Fineberg.

and now I think we have alternative explanation of slow fronts
By using a BB model modified with inclined slider, we found super-slow fronts, which do not need strengthening of friction, which was the part Bouchbinder never convinced me of....
more to come.... if you are interested!
