Scientific branch

ING-IND/14 - MECHANICAL DESIGN AND MACHINE CONSTRUCTION
(Area 0009 - Industrial and information engineering)

Research topics

  • Additive manufacturing: design, modeling, simulation, and experimental analysis of multifunctional systems, native sensors built inside the metals, cellular/lattice structures, high energy absorption composites/structures, multi-material joints. The topics related to the smart structures include high specific strength design, lightweight design, properties transition (functionally graded structures), multi-materials design, cellular/lattice structures and multifunctional components, biomimetics, identification of structural damage and predictive monitoring.
  • Energy harvesting: conversion of kinetic/vibratory energy of mechanical/biomechanical systems to electric energy for smart structures supply.
  • Micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS): static/dynamic response of silicon/metal MEMS, predictive modeling of nonlinear behavior in multi-physical domains, fatigue/thermal fatigue at microscale.
  • Wearable systems and HMIs: development of smart systems with embedded sensing performances based on e-textiles, flexible transducers/electronics for the monitoring of biomechanical parameters. Flexible systems for industrial systems monitoring. The topics related to the integrated systems include complex components with environmental adaptability (sensing, actuation and control), flexible components with embedded sensing functions (e-textiles, smart fabrics, and flexible electronics), special performances components (biocompatibility, wearability, etc), sensors integration and smart sensors networking.
