The studies, and ongoing activities involving both basic
research and applied. Specifically the research themes treated can
be classified as follows:
1. Theoretical and experimental study of mechanical behavior of
composite materials and coatings with special deepening and
development of the following topics:
1.a. theoretical and experimental study of mechanical behavior
of polymer composites and hybrids;
1.b. Study of mechanical and tribological behavior of ceramic
coatings glassy-functionality for progressive metal substrates;
2. Design and development of criteria for the design of
mechanical components with particular regard to:
2.a. Study of unconventional solutions for the realization of
robotic joints;
2.b. Development of an unconventional method for estimating the
reliability of mechanical components.
