Ezio Cadoni, born in May
1965 in Iglesias (Italy), studied at the faculty of engineering of the
University of Cagliari and received his degree, summa cum laude, in Civil
Engineering in July 1990. He subsequently developed, for three years, his PhD
studies at the Structural Engineering Department of the Politecnico di Torino.
In 1992 he was visiting researcher at the University of Cincinnati (USA) where
he studied interferometric holography applied on strain measurement of
materials. In 1994 he received his PhD on Structural mechanics with the thesis
“On the fatigue behavior of anchors”. In March 1994 he started to Joint
Research Centre of the European Commission as Post-Doc fellow and subsequently
as scientific officer. Here he developed researches on materials and structures
behavior under impact as an extensive experimental campaign on the strain-rate behavior
of concrete in the frame of the 3rd European FP, the study of crash absorber in
collaboration of 17 European crash laboratories and some third party works for
several industrial partners.
At the end of 1997 he arrived
to Switzerland as R&D head of a consulting engineering firm and its
laboratory of Lugano. Here he worked for Swiss Expo, in several research
projects (as tensegrity structures, ESPI, etc.), and in testing services and
technical surveys.
In 2000 he was appointed lecturer
at the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland. Two years later
he joined to this university full time. He has been SUPSI Professor since June 2004. He chair the Continuing
education and the Research of Department since 2002.
His teaching covers the
fundamentals of structural mechanics (statics, theory of structures, masonry, and
strength of materials). In research he concentrates on the dynamic behavior of
materials, measurement by Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry, anchors,
durability, impact behavior of structures. He chaired several sessions of international conferences and has been member of several technical committees. He is reviewer of International Journals.

Carlo Albertini |

Carlo Albertini born in Parma (Italy) in year 1935. Studied Physics at the University of Parma.
From 1963 to 1972: active at the Laboratorio Misure e Prove of Edisonvolta, Milano (today Enel). Development and operation of a non-destructive material testing laboratory for the detection of defects in the structural components of the three nuclear reactor research prototypes constructed in Ispra for the Euratom programme.
From 1973 until 1989: Researcher at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra establishment. Development and operation of a precision impact testing laboratory based on the modification of the Hopkinson bar technique for the measurement of the mechanical properties at high strain rate of as-received and irradiated nuclear reactor materials and structural components in support of the numerical analysis of the consequences of extreme transient loading on the reactor safety structures (primary vessel, containment shell in steel or reinforced concrete). The laboratory consisted of unique uniaxial and biaxial hydro-pneumatic and Hopkinson bar devices including the Large Dynamic Testing Facility (LDTF) which is the largest Hopkinson bar in the world (5MN loading capacity, 1,5 m displacement, 35 m/s speed, 200 m length) aimed to test large material specimens including real size welds and structural components ; all these impact testing equipments were original developments of the laboratory which have been later requested for installation in many laboratories in Europe and Japan. The LDTF is a patented modification of the classic Hopkinson bar where a statically prestressed long steel bar is the loading source needed for the generation of impact pulses of long duration substituting the difficult launching of long projectiles. He was co-inventor of LDTF and was co-responsible of its design, construction and operation.
From 1989 until 2000: In parallel to the activity for Nuclear Reactor Safety, He was project leader of the JRC programme of reference impact testing on automotive materials and structures in support of the numerical analysis by finite element codes of vehicle crash events. The Hopkinson bar and hydro-pneumatic devices including the LDTF have been converted for the characterization under impact loading of a large variety of automotive materials (steel and aluminium sheets , polymeric composites , foams etc.), car structural components (longitudinal, crash energy absorbers, side intrusion bars, car body in white etc.), road safety barriers materials and components, in collaboration with Industry in the frame of direct contracts or European projects. To mention a benchmark exercise among 14 European crash test laboratories, coordinated by him, showing definitely the importance of introducing stress wave propagation concepts for precise impact tests to be used as a reference for the validation of FE code predictions without the large spread ed inaccuracies of usual impact rigs.
From 2001 until today: he is the founder of DYNALAB a spin-off company of Joint
Research Centre, authorized by the European Commission, with the aim of
JRC technology transfer in the field of precision impact testing to
industrial and academic laboratories. He was responsible of the creation and activation of material impact testing laboratories at: ARCELOR (France), University of Trondheim (Norway), Impact Engineering Labratory (Japan), Tianjin University (China), SUPSI (Switzerland), FIAT (Italy).
His scientific activity is illustrated in the 125 papers published in scientific Journals and in the proceedings of specialized international conferences. Seventeen European and worldwide patents had Albertini as co-inventor mainly showing the innovation capability in the field of Hopkinson bar and other impact testing devices.
