Conventional and not conventional Optimization
Methods
Design and Manufacturing innovative Methods
Numerical and experimental analisys of bio-mechanical
components.
Interaction Methods and Virtual Reality Applications
Conventional and non- Conventional Optimization
Methods
The main activity is focused on the study and application of
optimization methods aimed to the optimal solution of single and
multi-objective functions, by means of solution algorithms based on
natural Evolution, on Shape Similarity and Fuzzy Logic.
Manufacturing-cycle optimization, based on the combination of
conventional algorithms with heuristic methods such as genetic
algorithms and Shape Similarity techniques.
Virtual modeling to predict the mechanical behavior of products,
validated by experimental analysis based on strain gauge.
Innovative methodologies are investigated in order to optimize
the disassembly (DfD) of products directed to a non-automated
production.
Ecologic composite materials, made of eco-resin matrix and
natural fibers, are tested and characterized.
The focus research activities are centred on innovative design methodologies like QFD, TRIZ, Design for Assembly, Design for Disassembly, Design for Additive Manufacturing, Design for Six Sigma, Bench Marking.
Modeling and Simulation of Innovative Architectures for
Hybrid and Diesel Propulsion Systems
This theme, which began during the thesis and developed during
the PhD research, concerns studies for the tranformation of common
rail diesel engines for their use on aircraft for general aviation,
in the small-middle class. The study also extends to hybrid
solutions aimed at achieving power / weight optimum.
Virtual models for interaction methods in industrial
engineering
Development of applications based on mixed reality (virtual reality and augmented
reality) for the positioning and visualization of objects in a fixed
space. The communication between multiple detection systems uses
client-server architecture based on the wireless connection.
Virtual Reality application on education and training, developping virtual manuals.
