LIMA (Laboratory of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) operates in the field of consultancy and services offered to Industrial Engineering. It carries out teaching, theoretical and applied research and third-party work for external subjects. It includes various skills ranging from industrial technology applied to the automotive, aeronautical and naval fields, to the analysis of materials used in these fields up to integrated design.
The approaches used are both numerical-computational and experimental and involve different study methodologies such as:The laboratory supports interdisciplinary research topics ranging from the analysis of the mechanical behavior of materials of practical mechanical and aeronautical interest, such as composite materials and intelligent materials, to problems related to wind engineering (study of wind generators with structural and aerodynamic optimization), to the study of joints between metallic and/or composite materials, up to problems related to new Additive Manufacturing technologies.
Below is a list of the main research activities supported by the LIMA laboratory within agreements (or on behalf of third parties) and funded research projects.
The laboratory offers various external services that can be grouped into the following macro-areas.
