Research interests
In my academic career, starting from the PhD, I have carried out research activities in the field of Mechanical Design and Machine Construction and I have dedicated myself in particular to the issues of design with innovative materials (polymers, mechatronic materials, metamaterials, composites) and to the study of joining methods based on structural bonding technology (both anaerobic and epoxy).
The approach employed has always sought to combine the analytical aspect with the computational one, through the use of advanced modeling tools, without neglecting the experimental validation at the material, component or system level.
I coordinated and took part in several research agreements with Companies in which product design and development methodologies, experimental investigation applying the principles of Design of Experiments, linear and non-linear numerical analysis have been applied. Also noteworthy is the participation/responsibility of two recent projects financed by the Ministry of Education and the affiliation to the regional Laboratories.
The main research activities carried out include:
- analysis, design and optimization of mechanical components and 3D metamaterials
shrink fit to maximize the transmitted torque, stress concentration in components with periodic notches using the thermal analogy method, fatigue resistance prediction in notched components using critical distance theory and stress gradient; three-dimensional metamaterials for innovative biomechanical structures obtained by 3D printing (4 patents have been filed in this area)
- bonded structural joints and polymeric materials
study of simple, portable and accurate numerical methods for the design of bonded structural joints; static characterization of epoxy and anaerobic adhesives, both in the elastic and post-elastic fields, with the aim of identifying their constitutive bond and failure criteria; fatigue characterization of anaerobic adhesives; study of thermo-mechanical problems in elastomeric components, such as the polyurethane coating of wheels for industrial trucks; study of physical-mechanical degradation problems in polymeric components, such as polyethylene pipes for the transport of drinking water
- structures for environmental energy recovery, smart materials, micro/nano actuation
design and validation of simple and efficient structures (low frequency, multifrequency), for the conversion of environmental kinetic energy into electrical energy (energy harvesting) both by piezoelectric transducers and by electromagnetic transduction; pull-in problems on micro and nano actuators: experimental validation of analytical models (in collaboration with colleagues from Construction Science)
