Biography
Amabili is very well known for the study of nonlinear vibrations and dynamic stability of shell and plate structures, a subject to which he has given many contributions. Professor Amabili serves as Contributing Editor for International Journal of Non-linear Mechanics (Elsevier). He is also Associate Editor of the Journal of Fluids and Structures, Elsevier, Applied Mechanics Reviews, ASME, Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, ASME, Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines. He is member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Sound and Vibration, Elsevier, and International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics. He has been the Chair of the ASME Technical Committee Dynamics and Control of Systems and Structures.
Professor Amabili is working in the area of vibrations, nonlinear dynamics and stability of thin-walled structures, reduced-order models and fluid-structure interaction. His research is multi-disciplinary, and it has been utilized in the design and analysis of aeronautical and aerospace structures, laminated and FGM shell structures, human blood flow problems in aorta, safety of pressure tanks and innovative flow-meters. Amabili is the author of about 400 papers (190 in referred international journals) in vibrations and dynamics and has achieved an h-Index 39. He is the author of the monograph Nonlinear Vibrations and Stability of Shells and Plates published by Cambridge University Press.
Amabili, together with M.P. Païdoussis and F. Pellicano, has showed for the first time the strongly subcritical behavior of the stability of circular cylindrical shells conveying flow (Fig.1). A series of papers presented theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations, showing that a supported circular shell made of aluminum, plastic or rubber presents divergence for much smaller velocity than predicted by linear theory. Amabili developed in 2014 an innovative 8-parameter thickness deformation shell theory that retains the geometric nonlinear terms in all the 8 parameters describing the shell deformation. This theory is particularly suitable to model soft tissues.
