Advanced Materials: selection of hybrid composite configuration and experimental testing (both static and dynamic) on samples of the selected configuration.

Modelling, Co-simulation and Fatigue
Modelling, Co-simulation and Fatigue: flexible multibody modelling and simulation, stress recovery and Fatigue behaviour evaluation.

Experimental Wind Tunnel Tests
The main goal is to test and validate the control strategies in term of efficiency in responding to variable speed and capability to relieve dynamic loads.

Structural Damage Detection
Development of advanced techniques for damage detection using phased-array UT and SMArt thermography – experimental fatigue test with embedded sensors.
