Contents
The course of “Progettazione Meccanica Avanzata” aims to provide students the required skills for the design of mechanical components such as pressure vessels and rotating disks, as well as two-dimensional elements like plates and shells. In addition, students will acquire knowledge in the design of mechanical components subjected to vibrations and dynamic phenomena.

Educational objectives
The course of "Progettazione Meccanica Avanzata" aims to provide methods for designing mechanical components in two-dimensional development (plates and shells) and for designing of components subject to vibrations and dynamic phenomena.
Prerequisites
In order to understand and be able to apply some of the techniques described in the teaching, preliminary knowledge of " Progettazione e Costruzione di Macchine " is required.
Teaching methods
The course will be held through classroom lectures.
All the teaching material used during the course is available through the Unistudium platform.
Other information
Further information is available through the Unistudium page of the course. The teacher is available for consultations at the end of each lesson; consultations with the teacher in person or through the Microsoft Teams platform can also be arranged at other times.
Learning verification modality
The exam for the “Progettazione Meccanica Avanzata” course consists of an oral exam in which both the theoretical topics covered during the will be discussed. In addition, the exam requires the development of a project for a lifting system based on technical specifications and reference regulations to be discussed during the oral exam.
Extended program
Thin-walled pressure vessels subject to internal and external pressure, thick-walled pressure vessels subject to internal and external pressure, cylinder buckling, shaft-hub coupling. Analysis of thin and thick rotating discs. Plates subjected to pure bending, bending moments and curvature, stress calculation, special cases. General theory of cylindrical shells and special cases.
Single degree of freedom systems, transmissibility, multi-degree of freedom systems, modal analysis and modal truncation.
Definition of finite elements, shape functions, stiffness matrix, stiffness matrix of structure, solution of the static problem, mass matrix, degree of freedom reduction methods, base motion, state-space representation.
