focus on CFD simulations of thermal
fluid processes in internal combustion
engines, the development of innova-
tive solutions for high performance or
for low emission engines. Experimen-
tal nalyses are also carried out.
• Vehicle Hydraulics - LIV (Head: Prof.
Borghi). The research group is in-
volved in the analysis, design and sim-
ulation of vehicle hydraulic systems
and components, such as the braking,
cooling, lubrication systems.
• Integrated Design and Simulation - La-
PIS (Head: Prof. Andrisano). The re-
search group deals with integrated in-
dustrial design, precision engineering,
5.2.4 Ingegneria dei Materiali and virtual commissioning of automat-
ic machines, as well as industrial ro-
• Materiali Ceramici e da Costruzione (Coordinatore: Prof. Man- botics, with specific concern to energy
fredini). Le principali attività di ricerca riguardano l’innovazione saving strategies. A second research
di prodotto e processo ceramico, le materie prime per l’indu- line is pursued, dedivated to CAD-
based design and geometric speci-
fication of products and processes,
according to GPS e GD&T guidelines.
• Machine Design (Head: Prof. Stroz-
zi). The research activities regard the
structural reliability of mechanical
parts, encompassing both the strain
analysis methods and the component
design procedures.
• Thermal-fluids (Head: Prof. Barozzi).
The research activities of this group
include the experimental and numer-
ical analysis of fundamental and ap-
plied thermal problems, for thermal
control and optimization of mechani-
cal devices and components. A spe-
cific competence has been gained by
this research group in the analysis and
control of ventilation in large road tun-
