應我校航空宇航學院機械結構力學及控制國家重點實驗室高存法教授的邀請，意大利都靈理工大學Erasmo Carrera教授于2019年5月26日至27日訪問了我校，并于27日做了題為“Classical and Advanced Computational Beam/Plate/Shell Models for Laminated Structures subjected to Multifield Loadings”的學術報告。報告詳細介紹了Carrera教授在高階有限元計算領域的研究成果和最新進展。報告内容豐富、精彩生動，對我校相關科研工作具有借鑒作用。同時，教授還結合自己多年的研究經曆，與現場聽衆分享了在材料力學領域的研究心得和體會。沈星教授主持了報告會。
訪問期間，Carrera教授在高存法教授的陪同下參觀了機械結構力學及控制國家重點實驗室，就複雜結構有限元分析等問題做了進一步交流。同時Carrera教授作為大會聯合主席，還就今年下半年在南航召開的國際先進材料和結構力學會議和高存法教授（大會主席）進行了讨論和協商。此次交流訪問對于增強我校對外開展學術交流和合作研究将起到積極的促進作用。
（報告人簡介）Erasmo Carrera is Professor of Aerospace Structures and Aeroelasticity at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where he graduated in Aeronautics, 1986, and Space Engineering, 1988. He earned a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering in 1991. Carrera has introduced the Reissner Mixed Variational Theorem, RMVT, as a natural extension of the Principle of Virtual Displacement (PVD) for layered structure analysis. He introduced the Unified Formulation, or CUF (Carrera Unified Formulation), as a new framework to develop linear and nonlinear theories of beams, plates, and shells for metallic and composite multilayered structures under mechanical, thermal electrical and magnetic loadings. Carrera is author and coauthor of about 800 papers and a few recent books. He is founder and leader of the MUL2 group at Politecnico di Torino. The MUL2 group has six staff members and some 15 grad students or Post-Docs with a project portfolio of some ten active projects funded by the European Commission, the Italian government, Politecnico di Torino and industrial partners such as Embraer. Main awards and roles: Highly Cited Researchers (Top 100 Scientist) by Thompson Reuters in two sections - Engineering and Materials (2013) and Engineering (2015); Editor-in-Chief of Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures; Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Advanced in Aircraft and Spacecraft Sciences; Member of Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, founded by Lagrange et alii; President of A.I.D.A.A. (Associazione Italiana di Aeronautica ed Astronautica).
